Been reading through old threads for a while and had a question the long timers might answer. My own treatment ran about six months, I lost around twenty two kilos, and I came off the injection back in spring. Weight has stayed stable since without the medication, so purely out of curiosity, how long have the folks who consider this a lifelong medication actually been taking it continuously. Everyone compares it to glasses or blood pressure pills, take it forever and the effect stays the same, but from what I've personally experienced and from plenty of other threads, the appetite suppression seems to fade once you've sat at the same dose for a long stretch, even for people who never needed to go past a moderate dose to reach goal. So what does the maintenance dose look like for someone several years in, and does appetite control hold steady or has it dropped off. Mainly interested in hearing from the weight management side rather than the diabetes side.
