Is scaling back dose ok?

Started at .05 a month ago. Felt very hungry and I ate, thought medicine was not working but yet I still lost weight? Complained to Dr about my hunger and she bumped me up to 10 last week. I felt a little nausea. but still got hungry at times and ate-just not a lot. Still lost weight. Would like to try 7.5, is scaling down somewhat bad? I mean I did lose 16 lbs in one month but on 10 dosage I did not like how I felt. I will ask the Dr but just wondering if anyone has scaled down?

I went back down after a rough week on the higher dose and felt way more like myself again. Curious whether your hunger was any different at 7.5 versus the 10.

#3

I went from 7.5 down to 5 partly because the higher dose was giving me a queasy, off feeling most days, and the appetite part held up fine at 5. Curious whether your hunger on 10 was real appetite or just the nausea making food unappealing

#4

I bumped back down after a rough week on the higher step and the hunger stayed about the same, so I get the urge to drop to 7.5. Curious whether your hunger was worse in the first few days after each bump or steady all month?

#6

I bumped back down after 10 left me queasy too and the appetite control honestly felt about the same to me. Curious whether your hunger on 7.5 ends up milder than it was at 10.

The hunger on 10 is the part I'd flag to her, mine never fully went away at any dose but the queasy feeling is what made me drop back., so I get why you're torn

How long were you on the 10 before deciding it wasn't for you? I only ask because my first week on a bump felt rough and then settled, so I never know if it's the dose or just my body adjusting.
