Hi Everyone. This is my first week on 10mg. I titrated from 2.5 every 4 weeks to now at 10mg. My worst side effects were on 7.5mg (nausea, diarrhea, cramping). That went an away after being on it for a couple weeks. So far I’m going on my 4th month (first week of 10 mg). While I have experienced very noticeable appetite suppression I still am able to eat a balanced diet. However, most disappointingly, I have not experienced even 1 pound of weight loss.
My doctor thinks I just needed to be on a higher dose and starting with 10 mg he expects it to improve considerably.
Anyone else in this situation? Clothes don’t fit better. I just think maybe visually I look leaner but the clothes don’t fit better nor is the scale moving. I’m just very upset despite my exercise and appetite suppression I’m unable to shed pounds as I had hoped.
