Kit 1 - modified dosing
I’m wondering if anyone has modified the dosing of kit 1, so you’re taking less than recommended? For context, I didn’t have much weight to lose (SW 135, GW 120) but really wanted help with food noise. I’m very active and overall healthy, but I’ve hovered around 130 for years and always felt and looked my best closer to 120 but struggled to get there on my own. I didn’t really think twice when they prescribed me kit 1. I’ve come to realize (through this subreddit) you’re basically prescribed kit 1 if you have no conditions or medications that interfere with the meds. What bothers me is that the dosage and titration schedule is the same no matter what your SW or the amount of weight you want to lose is. Immediately after starting the meds, I knew there was no way I could get to the full dose (I could just tell my body didn’t need more). Hers didn’t offer much support, so I decided myself to prolong everything. I took 1 Bupropion/day for at least 6 weeks, then added 1/2 Naltrexone EOD for 6 weeks, and just recently started doing 1/2 Naltrexone daily. I still haven’t even tried the Metformin and I’m like 3 months in. I reached out to Hers and they basically told me to do whatever dosage and titration I want if I’m going under the recommendation (I was hoping for a bit more guidance). I’m wondering if anyone else has modified their dosage, and has any tips for what they did? My CW is 125, so I’m definitely losing weight but I also got quite sick recently and could barely eat so I’m sure that’s part of it! I have had very few side effects, besides insomnia for the first week of Bupropion, so I am very happy about that.
