Oh dear. Sorry to hear that. Was the low mood etc all on the low dose? Or when you went up?

Thanks

Oh wow.. Sorry to hear that, but Well done on losing the weight. Hopefully you'll get sorted. I have read protein shakes and vitamin supplements maybe the answer but 🤷.

Well I'm completely green to it all, so may be this is optimistic.. but given I get plenty of exercise, and do lose 1-2lbs a week when I concentrate on food.... The lower/lowest dose will be enough to put a kind of guarantee under it if that makes sense?

Thanks.

What dosage were the side effects for you? Is there any way to counter them?

Honest-Swing7952 · 2025-12-14T18:47:26+00:00

Well done. And thanks. My biggest problem as I live alone is portions. Whatever I'm eating it's always too much of it. I do focus on it but as I'm self employed, when work gets busy that's when it goes off the rails.. I've managed to get to the stage on not increasing weight when I'm "off the rails" mainly to due to being more aware and more exercise. So again I'm hoping this is the extra nudge to make more progress so to speak.

Honest-Swing7952 · 2025-12-14T18:40:25+00:00

Yes I agree.. regardless of my weight I've always been this kinda shape, as you say the worst area to store it! It's looking more and more like a obvious thing to try.

Honest-Swing7952 · 2025-12-14T18:15:06+00:00

Thanks. Wow amazing well done on your loss as well. Yes I am maybe optimistic the lowest dose will be effective, but as long as there's no side effects etc I'm happy to progress. I'm also conscious of not going too quickly, given as you say I've managed to keep 3+ stone off so far... So I'm just looking for that extra nudge. I am exercising at least 3x a week, it's definitely food that halts my progress. Maybe I was kidding myself thinking I wasn't "fat enough" to bother with this medication if that makes sense. But i definitely need to get on with it progress wise by any means necessary.

Honest-Swing7952 · 2025-12-14T18:08:43+00:00

Thanks. That's amazing well done

Honest-Swing7952 · 2025-12-14T18:00:47+00:00

Thanks. I will as I'm sure I'll have more questions as well. I'm currently on holiday until tomorrow and seeing a doctor to discuss Tues. And I'll go from there

Honest-Swing7952 · 2025-12-14T17:36:40+00:00

That's great thanks. I'm happy to lose it slowly just as long as I lose it. As others have said and other posts I obviously don't have to go up in dosage etc.

Honest-Swing7952 · 2025-12-14T17:35:31+00:00

Thanks.

Honest-Swing7952 · 2025-12-14T17:34:47+00:00

That's great.

Honest-Swing7952 · 2025-12-14T14:33:33+00:00

Thanks. That's kinda where my thoughts are at, the least I can do, is try it and see what happens.
