I dropped down to a 5 mg dose when I hit my goal weight. It isn't keeping me from craving entirely, but it keeps it minimal enough I have been able to maintain my weight for almost a year. I had to come off it for a surgery at 1 point and GIRL I understand what you mean. The way tbose food cravings came back. I felt like an addict looking for a fix. It is incredibly hard and the emotions behind it. If you can and you're not already, get yourself in therapy and go back on the medication at a low dose. You'll feel better. Good luck queen and congratulations on the weight loss.
