Still binge after on Contrave in 4 weeks
hi all! i've been in calories decifit and regular traing to actively loss weight for about 1 year. during this year, i get to know myself a little better and realize my probelm is more mental side like PMS, stress and impulsive binging.
with the consultation with weight-loss dept. doctor, they suggested me to take contrave for turning off the food noise. the first 2 weeks (1/day at first week, 2/day at second) was okay even if i binge once. since i know what make me binge and to be fair i binge less than before, thus taking it as win. then i went back to doctor and got 2/day of next 4 weeks. here's the time i found i still cant control, i still thinking about the food even when i'm not hungry and cant resist to "have another bite" even im already full. the side effects are NOT STRONG, but you do feel youself on medicine, just dont feel right and might suddenly hit with dizziness.
my next appointment will be in the end of May, and i dont even have 1kg down. with the medicine, i feel even more frustated and know this emotion will certainly lure me to another round of binge. should i take more doze? or change to GLP-1?
*i've increased about 100kcal for my daily intake (1500kcal,still in calories deficit) just to feel better and more sustainable for the weight-loss journey. but now i'm questioning this too......
