Anyone else feeling... different?

gonna be real - finding what works and actually sticking with it is the whole battle, ya know? the OP's point about people only talking about food is so true. there's the whole other side of what these meds do to how you feel day to day that doesn't get posted about nearly as much. glad you've found something that works.

The emotional side coming up alongside the appetite change is something therapy can actually help with in ways the medication can't. Food troubles from childhood showing up again when the medication starts doing its job is so consistent - the suppression quiets the food noise but doesn't touch the emotional patterns underneath. Glad you went back. How's it going with your therapist?

Starting January 2024 and then stopping for 3 months due to insurance and copay issues with regain in that window is the discontinuation problem that the OP's thread is circling around. The feeling different the OP describes is exactly what gets lost in the gap. Insurance gaps as the most common reason people stop is something more people should know going in.
