Maintenance question - terrified and desperate
Hi. I am so panicked and desperate and really hoping I will find someone here who has had the same experience. I have been on MJ for 2 years, and been on 7.5mg for a year. I have reached my goal weight and maintained it (not one pound up or down) for 6 months. My prescriber (Pharmacy Planet) has now decided to stop prescribing due to my weight being normal. No reduced dose, nothing. I have managed to secure one more month of 7.5 through an alternative pharmacy through Northern Ireland but I am terrified that next month they will do the same. This medicine has changed my life, cured my binge eating, completely eliminated my inflammation, and has allowed me to live a life where I DON'T THINK ABOUT FOOD OR MY BODY. It is about so much more than weight for me - in fact I don't weigh myself and don't intend to lose any more weight. Based on the diagnostic criteria there seems to be no consideration at all for people who want to stay on MJ for maintenance. Does anyone know of a GP who has helped with this? Why would a doctor insist someone comes off these meds ? My quality of life has been exceptional for the last two years, and I honestly can't bear the thought of going back to the hell I had for 40 years.. constantly looking in the mirror, trying to avoid food, and wishing I was dead rather than feel the way I felt. How can this drug just be taken away from me? How? Does anyone have similar experiences or any advice? Thank you.
