Been on this for four years, the past eighteen months or so at a fairly high amount. Down 115 pounds and sitting at a normal weight, 142 pounds, something that's genuinely never happened before in my entire life. Can't picture going back to how things were before this medication. Feels like a completely different person now that severe obesity no longer describes me. That's literally what my medical chart said four years back. Seeing that written down clinically really opens your eyes to how serious it was.
Finally actually living now. This medication's the only reason I started hitting the gym five to six days weekly. Lifting weights, building actual muscle, running now too. None of that felt remotely possible previously, and I'm in my fifties now.
Last appointment, my doctor started bringing up how the long-term side effects aren't fully understood yet. Mentioned some people developing vision problems, unclear long-term data. The day she refuses to keep prescribing this is the day I find a new doctor.
No longer need blood pressure or cholesterol medication, entirely thanks to this drug.
