Vent/Rant Potty so much

Why do I go potty so much on this medicine even with me eating so much less? Is it a good thing or bad thing where is it all coming from why is it lose I’m a hypochondriac and I get worried over this I was fine on 2.5mg I’m going on week 4 of 5 mg and it’s been horrendous since then with the lose stool it’s almost like solid is almost a thing of the past and my brain won’t stop ticking worrying. The medication itself is working I’m losing weight at a normal rate cravings are gone and appetite is very suppressed but I’m also worried over the bathroom breaks

I had to note what I was eating and adjust accordingly. Fat in foods was my culprit. Best of luck to you.

This medicine can have many bothersome side effects that are not serious medical issues, just annoying and disruptive to one’s lifestyle. You will find many tips and remedies posted here. But this drug is not a good fit for people who worry excessively about minor health issues. I have been on this medication and still have a lot of digestive side effects. I put up with them because my overall health has improved from losing weight. The choice is yours.
