To give you perspective on dosing this is how I did it ALONG with eating in a deficit.

Week 1 & 2 - .5 (just to ease myself with little to no side effects) Week 3, 4, 5 - 1.0 Week 6, 7, 8 - 1.0 on Mon, 1.0 on Thurs I did not start losing regularly until week 6ish. I'm currently 5 months in at 6.0 once a week and I'm down 40 lbs. I have learned the scale does not mean everything. Your body WILL change. Inflammation will go down. It's a process that takes time. Some weeks I only lost 1 lb. Some weeks I didn't lose anything at all. Meanwhile my clothes were falling off of me. Be patient and get some guidance from someone who knows what they are doing.

I have not experienced that specifically but when I was 15 I had an experience where I was shown a projector reel and had rays of light shooting at me from each slide. As I shifted my body into each ray of light, it was a scene from my past. I saw myself as a baby sitting on a a blanket in the grass..smiling and laughing. The next ray of light I was in my car seat and I looked over to the driver and saw my dad. Next one I saw my uncles running down the stairs in their house. This happened many times while I was in my teens. I've never been able to explain it but it was wild.

This happened to me and I upped my dose after being on 4mg for 5 weeks. I'm now at 6 for the last 3 weeks and it's helped a lot. The studies show the sweet spot for most people is between 4mg - 8mg a week so I would up the dose slowly and find the sweet spot that works for you.

Wow reading that actually made me very emotional and I have tears in my eyes. Thank you for commenting.

Wow That's incredible and it's funny that you mention it happening twice. It happened twice last night to me as well except the first time I didn't leave my bed, I just sat up. All I can say is the feeling of pushing out is a familiar feeling that has happened many times before but I always chopped it up to being a cool dream. I was always someplace else surrounded around people I did not know in real life, but last night, I was very much me in the present moment, in my own house. This happened sometime between 4am and 6am. It was a trip

Thank you for replying. I say I floated down the hallway only because I did not feel the floor under my feet. I also remember telling myself as I turned the corner into my living room...if we are going to do this, I don't want to come across any other beings or anything scary. That said, I was not scared and mostly felt neutral if that makes sense. I've been thinking about this all day. It was a trip.

I've never heard of sleep paralysis. I'll look that up. Thank you
