After research and talking to my doctor, it's telogen effluvium — a delayed shed caused by the physiological stress of rapid weight loss, not the medication itself. It slows down around month 4-5.

Reading this and Are you pairing it with any walking or strength work. Walking 8k steps a day alongside the meds really compounds. Stay the course. Thanks for sharing this.

Just wanted to say, How are you finding the higher dose so far. Keep going, seriously. Hang in there.

Adding my two cents: Strength training helped me keep muscle while losing. Hang in there.

Late to this but My doctor had me hold at 7.5 until side effects settled. Just hit my first 20 lbs and I can't believe it. Keep us posted! (Not medical advice, just my own experience.)

Coming back to this thread, Finally cracked a plateau I'd been stuck on for a month.

Adding my two cents: Plateaus are the worst, hang in there. Electrolytes every morning has been a game changer. Bumped up to the next dose this week and feeling good. Definitely run it by your own prescriber though.
