Easing off the dose... anyone else?

Yeah, titrating from 15mg down to 3.75mg over that period is actually really good to hear. The step-down approach gives you a read at each level on whether appetite stays in check before dropping further. How did appetite track through each step?

7.5mg and past your original goal at 3 months while still losing is a good problem to have. The taper down conversation makes a lot of sense at that point. What did your provider recommend for the step-down protocol?

My long-term blood sugar number went from double digits down to something close to normal. Just had fresh labs done yesterday, waiting to see where things land now. Agree with the folks suggesting you space the dosing out, maybe try stretching to somewhere between a week and two weeks apart, see how that feels first before going longer. Like most of these meds, the middle of the cycle tends to hit hardest side-effect-wise. Since I'm basically where I want to be on both weight and bloodwork, my plan is to stay at the same amount but slowly stretch the interval out day by day until I find a rhythm that holds steady. Try to push through if you can manage it. It really is a great medication, but there's definitely a learning curve to figuring out what works. Hang in there!
