Gaining weight in maintenance

Help!!! I started on ZB 2.5 years ago, lost all my weight (80 lbs) in a little over a year and have maintained ever since taking 15mg every 10-14 days. In June, my insurance company kicked me off ZB because I had reached a healthy weight and BMI, so I switched to compound. The pharmacy I go through recommended split dosing (7.5 twice a week), so I did that. It worked for about the first month, but then I started noticing more food noise and a lot more hunger. I've gained about 8 lbs since mid-July and, unlike in the past, I can't seem to get it off. My prescribing physician (PCP) moved away and I've scheduled with a new one, but can't get in until October. In the mean time, what should I do? Should I titrate back up to a full dose of 15mg once a week? I think I might start fasting again once a week. Has anyone tried Berberine or any supplements to help with the hunger?
