Adding my two cents: Found my sweet spot dose and I'm not in a hurry to go higher. My last check-up came back looking great. Talk to your prescriber before changing anything, but slow worked for me.

Same here, Constipation was my big one, magnesium at night helped a ton. I stayed on the starter dose an extra month and it was the right call. Such an inspiration honestly. This community is the best.

Just wanted to say, This made my day to read. Hit goal weight this morning, still in shock. Thanks for sharing this. Definitely run it by your own prescriber though.

Just wanted to say, What helped you push through the plateau. Has your sleep changed at all since starting. Lost 8 lbs my first month and the food noise is gone. (Not medical advice, just my own experience.)

Coming back to this thread, Don't give up, it's worth it. Talk to your prescriber before changing anything, but slow worked for me. You should be really proud. Rooting for you. Definitely run it by your own prescriber though.

Adding my two cents: Lost 8 lbs my first month and the food noise is gone. Down another 1.8 lbs this week and holding steady. The jump to the next dose was smoother than I feared. This community is the best.

Popping in today to say, Bumped up to the next dose this week and feeling good. Fatigue hit hard on my first dose bump, more protein fixed it. I plateaued until the dose increase kicked things back in gear. Hang in there.

Same here, Talk to your prescriber before changing anything, but slow worked for me. Honestly by month three the side effects basically disappeared. Are you pairing it with any walking or strength work. Onward!
