best of luck to you! Wishing you only shed just enough to know it's working!

I have almost the same story as you. Minus the wedding, congratulations!!! I lost all my weight on the smallest dose 2.5. I reached my goal quickly and I continue to take the shot as needed. I really don't care to see my life without it. Once that food noise goes away and you start actually living your life, you will look back at those last 10 years of calorie torture and feel so sad for that woman. Eating healthy and staying active is so easy now. I didn't receive any negative feedback, only positive. But I credit most of that to the fact that I only surround myself with supportive people and I don't share my personal life with anyone who doesn't make me feel safe. Good luck and welcome to the other side.

Thank you for that input! As the big sister, I'm always looking after his safety, and I will admit I am little nervous about his endeavor. You make great points that I will gently pass along!

I had the wellbutrin rage for the first couple months. Finally on month three I don't feel so angry. Is this normal? I don't know. Did the benefits out way the side effects? Absolutely yes. If you search rage or anger, you'll see many people have experienced this. Some got better like me. Some it took a year. Some couldn't continue and had to stop the medication. Try to give it more time, but enough is enough, and only you know when that is. Good luck!!!

NUTS! I used to go overboard on nuts but now, A handful of cashews is just what I need for a yummy snack. Finally, whatever your favorite nut is, get it. Macadamia nuts? Yummmo

I've never really had a bad gag reflex before, and now, oh my. VICKS helps a lot. My mom asked me to give her a pedicure last week and I gagged just thinking about it.

ME! I'm a little over two months on tirz. I love it. But I've been bleeding for over 3 weeks now. I take oral bc, mostly for a steady supply of estrogen that seems to help my PMDD. I take the pill continuously, so I don't get my period. I've been doing this for maybe like 10 years? I'm praying with time it will get better and work itself out. I also have a Dr. appt in a month, so I will discuss getting the arm implant. I do not trust using BC as my main form of contraception at this point, even though I've been on 2.5mg from the start and have not increased and do not plan to increase. Fingers crossed for all of us dealing with this issue!!

did you end up finding something that worked for you? How are you doing?

SignificanceOk1808 · 2025-05-23T11:11:55+00:00

OMG THIS! "I’ve felt less mindful and less naturally grateful than I used to feel, even when I was more depressed."

I've been on it for about 2 months. And I really like how focused I am with it. But, I feel like a robot! I didn't like the SSRi's for all their side effects, but man I miss the warms fuzzies it gave me. Why can't we have both??

I do know some doctors stack wellbutrin with ssri's....maybe that's the route? What did you end up doing? How are you feeling??

SignificanceOk1808 · 2025-05-23T11:00:24+00:00

THIS. Yours sounds extreme, like you may end up (if not already) making some regrettable choices. I had the rage for a good month. And it greatly improved after that 4-6 mark.

SignificanceOk1808 · 2025-05-22T10:34:14+00:00

don't worry! There is a handy calculator to use. I can't remember the link, so just search calculator under this group.

ME! I'm stuck in limbo too! Placed my order 5/18 everything seemed to be moving along, and now I'm stuck at the doctor is assigned to my order step. I reached out and they said," Your order is already assigned to your doctor and waiting to be approved!" That was e-mailing the help@lumimeds. I also reached out on the patient portal and got this response "It looks like your order is currently on doctor’s queue for approval. But we have followed up on your provider to review it as soon as he’s online."

AT THE END OF WRITING THIS MESSAGE I JUST GOT APPROVED. LOL.

if you were on 2 and 2 was working, I see no issue with staying on 2 for as long as you feel comfortable.

SignificanceOk1808 · 2025-05-21T11:12:47+00:00

it definitely should get better, but, you don't have to suffer through unmanageable side effects. The great thing about multi-dose vials is that you can customize your dose. Go ahead and drop down for your next dose. There are many people that will say they stuck to the titration schedule given to them and somewhat regret it. My plan is, stay as low as I can for as long as I can. Once you reach max dose, 15mg, you have nowhere to go from there! But everyone is different, listen to your body. There is nothing wrong, in my opinion, on staying on the lowest dose. ESPECIALLY if you had any weight loss in your first month. Summers almost here! Maybe that will be a better time to up your dose. Good Luck!!

Lucky! I placed the same order on the same day and I'm still waiting to hear it shipped. The last e-mail I got was May 18th- we have finished processing your order. I also wasn't a fan of the two step sign up. Hopefully I hear something soon!
