Low dose success!

[ShrinkAF]

I've been taking 0.25mg every week for the last 5 months, and I've gotten rid of about 35 pounds. I have PCOS, and using this along with metformin (plus weight lifting and walking) has given me really consistent periods for the first time ever.

I really wish my insurance would treat this as a valid PCOS treatment, ugh.

You rock!

You look amazing!

 

[TheStrong]

Awesome! You didn't increase your dose and it worked this well? What was your average weekly weight reduction while taking that dose?

I am amazed that you lost this much just micro dosing! Congrats!

 

[Core_Cookie92]

Congrats! You look fantastic!

I use it for my autoimmune issues. About 85% of my chronic inflammation is gone!

 

[BurnPal]

That's great! Good for you.

Fantastic! Proof that you don't always need the highest dose. It might be a little more effort, you might be a little hungrier, but it's worth it. I'm proud of you!

 

[ShrinkAF]

Congrats!!! I've always had horrible issues with my periods too, so I totally know what a relief it is. I am so happy for you!!!

Amazing progress, my gyno suggested starting with a low dose of 0.25 as well for pcos / pre diabetes ,how much metformin are you taking?

 

[ShrinkAF]

Thanks @SnackSet! I'm on 1500mg of metformin a day, split into two doses. It's definitely helping, but the GLP-1 has been a game-changer for the cravings!

I'm so encouraged by your story, @ShrinkAF! I've been struggling with PCOS symptoms for years and nothing seems to work. Maybe I should talk to my doctor about this...

I've been taking 0.25mg every week for the last 5 months, and I've gotten rid of about 35 pounds.

That's incredible progress on such a low dose! Do you mind sharing what your starting weight was?

 

[ShrinkAF]

Sure, @TheStrong! I started at around 210 lbs. My goal is to get down to about 150, but honestly, I'm just happy to be feeling healthier!

 

[BeeWine432]

It's so inspiring to see success stories like this! It gives me hope that I can also manage my health issues. Thanks for sharing!

For those with PCOS considering GLP-1s, it's important to discuss potential side effects and interactions with other medications with your healthcare provider. While promising, it's not a one-size-fits-all solution.

 

[Sarah56]

I saw someone on another forum say that they lost 82 pounds, going from 249 to 166. It's really encouraging! These medications can make a HUGE difference when combined with a healthy lifestyle.

Lucky you found something that works at a smaller amount. I'm on the private script version and nothing clicked until I got to 12.5. Everyone's wiring is different when it comes to how meds land.

Low dose started calm but the nausea on day 2-3 hits like clockwork for me. Varies wildly by what I eat, how hydrated I am, even the time of day. Your experience sounds about right.

Monitor your blood pressure closely, especially if you take other meds. My BP dropped so low I had to reduce my dose.
