I just took my 11th dose (2.5, 5.0, now taken third dose at 7.5). Had significant nausea after eating anything but tiny amounts in the second week on 5.0, but other than that, side effects have been very mild or missing entirely. Unquestionably it has reduced both hunger and appetite, though at the end of a week, just before next dose, the effect wears off a bit and I can become much hungrier. Have been keeping to a 1200 calorie per day limit (via tracking) quite consistently, often closer to 1000. In 11 weeks I have lost 23 pounds, which is faster than typical diets but not crazy. Have had some trouble getting pharmacy to fill prescription, as I am obese (starting weight 272) and pre-diabetic with hypertension but not actually diabetic. Very worried supply will be cut off since I’m not diabetic. But as someone who wants to lose 115 pounds just to get to “overweight” (and needs to lose 138 pounds to get to healthy weight), I feel frustrated that the drug is hard to get and costs $1000/month. I will pay that, and give up many other things to cover the cost. But what of those who can’t possibly cough up that kind of money? Anyway, onward! Trying to introduce some exercise now, which is challenging as I am severely deconditioned. But that is essential. Would love to have partners on this journey. FWIW - I am 64 years old, female, working from home and living alone on east coast, but with a supportive family, some nearby and some across the country.
