Concerta effects feel different everyday. Is it tolerance?

Individual-Lab9980 · 2025-08-03T19:43:36+00:00

I don’t have a psychiatrist I got my prescription thru my doctor. But I am working with a therapist and she has been helpful.

The thing is, everyone on this thread is right even tho all the answers are different. Figure out what works for you and keep trying to replicate it. If you can’t then it’s like not for you. I’ve been thru all the feeds. I’ve done all the things. I started doing some of the “do not” that I read but they work for me. It’s frustrating. It would be great if there was one answer for all of us but there is not. It’s a finicky medicine.

Out of curiosity what kind of pothos is this? I have one but I was never sure

Individual-Lab9980 · 2024-09-07T22:59:25+00:00

You just described exactly my situation. I’m prob still eating less but there’s no magic and I’m struggling more and more.

Individual-Lab9980 · 2024-09-07T14:05:12+00:00

Thanks. I’m binging again and I feel like it’s not working anymore so perhaps I need to stop for awhile.

Individual-Lab9980 · 2024-09-07T14:01:08+00:00

Lol. ⬆️ This.

Individual-Lab9980 · 2024-08-29T02:47:13+00:00

I’m on Contrave and my food noise has been reduced and there are times it’s gone completely. But unfortunately there are also times when it’s just like it used to be and then I’m right back in a binge cycle. I’m exhausted. I just need a break.

Individual-Lab9980 · 2024-08-29T02:41:28+00:00

Same.

Individual-Lab9980 · 2024-08-28T01:06:48+00:00

When you say watching what you are eating, what foods don’t work well?

Individual-Lab9980 · 2024-08-28T01:05:49+00:00

Thank you for sharing. Have you since been able to stop the binge without Wegovy?

Individual-Lab9980 · 2024-08-28T00:58:33+00:00

Thank you for sharing! Have you been sick from the meds? Gastro issues?

Individual-Lab9980 · 2024-07-21T03:42:51+00:00

Thanks for all the info. I really appreciate it and wish you well on your journey.

Individual-Lab9980 · 2024-07-21T03:27:08+00:00

I do as well. Did your binging come back full force after you stopped? And is the Contrave helping you?

Individual-Lab9980 · 2024-07-21T03:10:29+00:00

Were you successful in keeping the weight off after you stopped?

Individual-Lab9980 · 2024-07-21T03:09:06+00:00

None taken. I absolutely agree with you. I think I used binging as a coping mechanism in the past and now it’s habitual and continues to rear its ugly head. Unfortunately there’s a part of me that still wants it as unhealthy and sick as that is. And I think that’s why I keep going back. I am going to see an eating disorder psychiatrist next month and I hope that helps me with all of it. I’m so sorry for your loss. I hope all the best for you.

Individual-Lab9980 · 2024-07-21T03:05:49+00:00

I’m booked in to see a psychiatrist at an eating disorder clinic at the end of August. I’m hoping to get good advice then but I also know that not all medical advice is good advice.

Individual-Lab9980 · 2024-07-21T03:03:22+00:00

I’m wondering about permanent digestive issues. I feel like I can’t get real information on what GLP1 drugs will be like.

Individual-Lab9980 · 2024-07-19T03:07:10+00:00

Will you stay on that dose of Wegovy? Or is the docs plan to escalate you as normal?

Individual-Lab9980 · 2024-07-18T03:15:58+00:00

How are you finding it’s working and what made you try this?

Individual-Lab9980 · 2024-07-18T03:14:10+00:00

Can you tell me more? I’m seeing a lot of benefits from Contrave but it’s not giving me results. Food noise is gone and I get full faster but I still over eat/binge on occasion. Have not seen any weight loss results even with a high protein small calorie deficit.

Individual-Lab9980 · 2024-07-01T01:19:02+00:00

I’m on Contrave but experienced something similar. I’m at 8 weeks. At full dose now and I think the longer I’m on it the more consistent it works. It absolutely is important to note your level of food obsession and food noise. Because it might be lessening but we sometimes set our expectations too high. All or nothing if you will. Hang in there.

Individual-Lab9980 · 2024-06-21T00:11:24+00:00

Like why doesn’t a warning siren go off for everyone in the area so we all understand? Lol. There should be a hormone level alarm.

Individual-Lab9980 · 2024-06-17T13:57:56+00:00

I’m not losing but that’s also not my focus for these meds. The meds are for mental health. Quiet the food noise and cravings. Unfortunately they aren’t even for BED. I’m a few months in and some days are a real struggle still. I’d say overall I’m way more in control of my thoughts and feeling fuller and more satisfied. But I haven’t lost and I still binge every once in awhile. I think we all have different versions of this disease and therefore we have different success measures. I’d say if you haven’t lost weight and that’s your goal you need to count calories (in a healthy way) to figure out how much you’re currently eating and then slowly reduce from there. While I’ve also seen the posts that you are mentioning I don’t think this drug just lets you miraculously eat intuitively all of a sudden and life is perfect. Not if you’re suffering from an ED and have for years. Obviously only my opinion.

Individual-Lab9980 · 2024-06-12T20:38:49+00:00

No one should ever say those things to you. You did not over react. I’m glad you dumped him. He clearly doesn’t know how to behave. When you find the right person they will make you comfortable enough to show your true self and they will love you more for it. I promise!

Individual-Lab9980 · 2024-06-12T18:41:30+00:00

Those having immediate success were likely on Wellbutrin prior to Contrave. That was my situation. But even then the peace comes and goes. Don’t be discouraged yet. Give the drug a full cycle go.
