Hi Everyone,

Just thought I’d do an update from my angle for anyone researching for themselves.

I’m just into my fourth month and have lost 18 pounds/8.2kg to date (about 9% of my starting weight) - I went up a dose each time from starting dose but have stayed at 9mg for an extra month as I’ve experienced awful nausea with it. I’ve noticed small changes in my body (e.g. clothes fitting a bit better) but nothing huge yet - I’ve not had any comments on losing weight yet so don’t think it’s fully noticeable.

During this time I’ve been on holiday and had a lot of meals out etc - I’m still experiencing nausea in the morning and am sometimes sick first thing - I’m hopeful it is easing off though.

Hardest thing I find is not drinking any water for the eight hours before doses - I’m a terrible sleeper and often need to have a drink in the night to help me dose off.

I have around 20kg to lose until my ideal weight - though I’ll be happy by the point I’ve lost another 10kg.

I started talking the 9mg pill just under a week ago having spent a month on 1.25mg and a month on 4mg and I’m really not feeling great.

I’ve no hunger and when I force myself to eat, I have been sick a few times (plain, low calorie foods - nothing fancy or spicy).

Has anyone else experienced this and did it ease? Contemplating stopping and going back down to a lower dose as I’m feeling pretty tired and struggling to have the drive for a lot of things.

I’m also very stressed at work right now which I’ve read may also be a factor - but good to hear any other experiences.

I’ve lost about 11 pounds in the last 2 months so far (about 6% body weight) which I understand is pretty normal for this stage two months in - really want to stick at it but am worried about the not eating at all. Even the thought of food makes me feel nauseous at the moment.
