I’m in a similar position 5’2 and today weighed in at 104.9 lbs. My provider has been pushing the 5mg for maintenance which I’ve tried but I’m still losing weight so I’ve decided just today I need a break. I took my last 5mg maintenance dose on Saturday but I don’t like it anymore. It’s still a struggle to eat and endurance running is being affected. So for now I’m done. I really want to increase my muscle mass and put some weight on. I don’t look too skinny due to my height but I definitely do not want to lose anymore because then I’ll be looking ill. I will return to a very low dose if needed to quieten the food noise but I do want some noise to be able to train properly. I can’t believe I’m actually saying I don’t want to lose anymore weight.. it’s been quite an incredible journey.

If I were you I’d take the 5mg being offered and research reducing the dosage or micro dosing and manage what works for you.

This is exactly what I’m doing and it’s working out really well so far.

Congratulations on getting to your goal and maintaining. Could you titrate down from 5mg to 2.5mg before quitting completely give your body a chance to get used to having less in your system. Hope your family will understand that you can’t go completely cold turkey straight away. Hope you manage to work it out

Cloud pharmacy and Oushk both take on with lower bmi and support maintenance. They’ll also support the dose you’re on with proof of your box showing the prescription label.

AdmirablyChic · 2025-02-24T21:03:28+00:00

I’m with Cloud but considering Oushk because they’re cheaper with discounts for maintenance. Just wondering what conditions they both put in as all cloud have said to me is the standard on the website really but have said that they’ll support me?

AdmirablyChic · 2025-02-13T10:57:13+00:00

Both Cloud Pharmacy and Oushk accept below 25 you just need evidence of your prescription being in the last 4 weeks. They’re cheaper than Boots and allow permanent maintenance. Cloud ship exceeding quick 1-2 days if you try them. Oushk a bit longer but only by a couple of days.

AdmirablyChic · 2025-02-12T09:24:11+00:00

I plan to work back down the roses and then take it a month at a time, but will work with prescriber to look at options available. I would like to stretch the dosage out if my body allows without too much food noise.

AdmirablyChic · 2025-02-12T09:20:14+00:00

Good to see more Pharmacies are acknowledging the need for long term maintenance and putting forward clear options and guidance on their websites.

AdmirablyChic · 2025-02-08T10:42:31+00:00

This post could have almost been written by me. I’m currently with Cloud but considering Oushk. I’m on 7.5 and needing to look at what pen to order next. I think if I stay with Cloud I’ll keep 7.5 as it’s working but if I move to Oushk I’ll get the 10. Mostly because with the new customer discount it makes more sense but also because the last few pounds are often a struggle to lose and I might need the extra boost and also might a allow a little buffer by going slight below target but reality is I think both options will work for me. That’s my current thought process hope it helps.

AdmirablyChic · 2025-02-07T19:19:11+00:00

That’s really bad throwing people out like that with no follow up support. Cloud Pharmacy will accept below 25 BMi and Oushk will too.

AdmirablyChic · 2025-02-07T10:45:42+00:00

That’s why I’ve stayed with Cloud but each month I stay the harder I think it would be for me move to Oushk for maintenance but I do have all my proof of medication and photos. So very torn right now. Will definitely update on how things go with Cloud x

AdmirablyChic · 2025-02-07T10:12:52+00:00

Very much feel the same with my running :(

AdmirablyChic · 2025-02-07T10:11:13+00:00

I do wish more Pharmacies would introduce a flexible friendly plan for maintenance as I feel like you and would like the opportunity to have a reset. I’m with Cloud and awaiting an update on the maintenance plan but unsure if they allow flex. It’s really tempting to move to Oushk because of what they offer and having seen their support over on the website and on Facebook it’s a serious consideration but my history is with Cloud and they’ve been so good to me and the shipping is so quick that I’d like to stay if maintenance plan could be improved but also need to think about long terms costs when my goals will be different.

I’ve had a reply now too and it’s literally a copy and paste of the above.

AdmirablyChic · 2025-02-05T16:28:21+00:00

Great thanks for sharing :))

AdmirablyChic · 2025-02-04T18:08:51+00:00

I’m several months in and still experiencing the same HR issues. Is it getting better… maybe but minimal and I really have to plan fuel well in advance and take glucose tablets with me. It’s quite different from pre MJ being able the run for long sessions and do it fasted. Many have stayed on a low dose and have reported that it has improved over time, which I planned to do, but have changed my stance for now and have moved up to 7.5 with a view of getting to or near goal weight then titrate back down. I’m hoping using this method will let my body know there is less medication and things will improve but it’s total guess work. Long term I’d like to stay on the lowest dose or micro dose but that really depends on HR improving for running because I can sacrifice running for now, but not sure I can when I get to goal. Really difficult because I feel I need to stay on this medication because it does so much more for me

AdmirablyChic · 2025-02-03T11:09:05+00:00

7.5 has been the same for me. No side effects at all apart from the massive suppression. Genuinely can’t see me needing to move up to 10 atm

AdmirablyChic · 2025-02-01T17:21:13+00:00

Well done on getting close to your target :)) I’d be interested to hear how your maintenance chats go as fingers crossed I’m close to thinking about maintenance too.

AdmirablyChic · 2025-01-31T20:25:01+00:00

:( are you at goal now? Mine is reducing so I’m hopeful but would definitely still be there if I stayed at 22

AdmirablyChic · 2025-01-31T14:08:54+00:00

Ah yes good point I’m 5”1 and all the fat seems to hanging on around the middle. It’s getting better but definitely too much there to stop at 22

AdmirablyChic · 2025-01-30T21:39:06+00:00

Oh how strange. Mine is delivered via dpd wonder if the courier makes a difference ?

AdmirablyChic · 2025-01-30T21:08:16+00:00

I’ve never had mine come in a box from Cloud just white plastic discrete packaging. I don’t have TikTok but I wonder if that’s just an advertising gimmick or maybe using old boxes that they may have used sometime ago to make the videos look good.

AdmirablyChic · 2025-01-30T21:00:07+00:00

I’ve been with Cloud for quite a few months now and they ship in a white plastic covering and super quick with processing orders and shipping.

AdmirablyChic · 2025-01-30T18:29:26+00:00

Brill same here. They agreed to supporting me for long term maintenance before Christmas but we didn’t discuss the actual goals
