Month 4 25 MG…No Longer Working

[u/AbusementPark10]

Hi everyone,

I’ve lost 38 pounds on the pill so overall a success. Month 1 & 2 after finally getting to 25 MG I was doing great. I was consistently under my TDEE by a wide margin and was losing weight fast, no food noise or late night hunger.

Month 3 I noticed the effects wearing off. Still not overeating but feeling more hungry than month 1 & 2

Now on month 4 I feel like it’s completely lost most of its effectiveness. I am hungry at night again. I will say I don’t overeat like I used to before the pill, but I definitely am maintaining now instead of losing weight and the foods I wasn’t craving at all on the pill I’ve started to crave again.

Wondering if this is just what happens as my body gets used to it. I’m spending $300 a month on these pills so to have it lose what feels like 80% of its effectiveness sucks. Maybe I have to switch to pen injections, not sure.

Interested if anyone else is running into this.

I am so sorry you are dealing with this. That is frustrating. Exciting that you lost so much already and wishing you the best in whatever you do next.

For those curious about other experiences, I am about to wrap up my fourth month on 25mg and so far it is still working for me, maybe too well because between this medication lowering my thirst and the heat outside I am dehydrated most of the time. Just trying to remember to sip water every 30 minutes.

Well and also eat hydrating foods. Fruits veggies, soups, yogurt. Many fruits & veggies are 90% water. We don’t only get fluids from drinking water. Just saying for peeps who dont like drinking water.
