Hi all! 30F, 5' 4", went from 208 lbs to 133 lbs in about 12 months, with most of the pounds shed in the first 6. It's unreal. Now I need to figure out maintenance with my doctor in a couple of weeks. These meds have seriously transformed my life, and I've never felt better about my body!

I had a similar experience, "bonkers" is spot on! I was shopping and had to ask for a small, when previously I barely fit into the largest size. It was like an alternate reality. Congrats to us, a real medical breakthrough!

Awesome! FYI, there's a maintenance community out there that's super helpful. I've been maintaining for a little over a year now. I tweak my dose often, but I find I still need it weekly, usually around .35mg. If I try spacing it out further or lowering the dose, the hunger comes back.

What dosage were you using? I'm on the max dose of 2.4mg and wondering if I should switch to another medication.

I read a post from someone who stopped and kept losing. It gave me some hope!

That's encouraging! I wonder if how long someone was overweight plays a role in maintenance success?one-day-at-a-time said:

I'm trying to taper off mine and the side effects are no joke. Cramps, urgent 
, feeling like everything I eat is a mistake. Anyone else struggling with this?

How are you tapering exactly? I had better luck spacing out doses rather than lowering the amount each time. It just gradually leaves your system that way.Fresh_Crew said:I'm trying to taper off mine and the side effects are no joke. Cramps, urgent
