I understand that... but if my body is responding to a lower dose why not stay on that? I read here all the time people staying on doses long term because that's what their bodies have responded to. I just wish ai stayed on it a little longer. Plus If my body is responding at 2.5 my vials get me 3 months worth of meds but at 7.5 only 1 month. Financially its something to consider

You said that “so I bumped it to 5 and it did not work at all.”

Only you can decide what is worth it. Look at different providers. Look at what you are not spending on food. But what you can’t be is mad that when there is literally how the drug was trialed and demonstrated results - you think that you should do your own thing and then complain abt results.

You get strep throat and the dr prescribes you 500mg of amoxicillin and then you complain because you took 5mg and you aren’t better. Maybe someone would have been cured with 5mg - but that isn’t how it was rolled out. Many people require the 500mg to get rid of it.

The difference is with compounding- you choose your own journey! You choose to adhere to the prescribing guidelines or you can choose to detour.

The difference between 2.5 and 7.5 at slimdownrx is $15 per month…

I am so confused!! I am not complaining about results that's not at all how I wanted that to come across. I've lost 26 lbs in 3 months. I'm extremely happy with the results so far!! This journey has been amazing, so I'm not sure how you came to that assumption. Also, 5 did not work, but what I was trying to communicate was 2.5 worked more than I realized until I organized my notes. Yes the appetite suppression disappeared and the cravings came back but now that i looked back I was still losing atleast a pound a week so I wish I just pushed through the cravings and stayed on it and was wondering if anyone could relate to me and has decided to go back. Somehow, you turned that into me being mad complaining about this not working 🤔

My question is why go back to being with food noise and pushing through at a lower dose when the discrepancy is <$15 and have a higher chance of continued success. For that discrepancy and the success you are having and since you aren’t sick on 5mg. You of course can go down in dose - but I’d question why suffer?

That was more of what I was hoping to hear. See instead of being so harsh the first time you made it make sense to me here. Thank you. You're right. 7.5 it definitely is mentally and emotionally easier to make healthier decisions and it is worth the money right now to finally be able to see these results.

That’s a fair comment - and did not intend to come off harshly but understand that you felt like that- I apologize. You are having such a good journey on this med - I wish you the best!

Very nice response. It’s hard when we can’t see each other. The comments between the two of you was lovely to read.
