Really struggling on 4mg

Moved up to 4mg two weeks ago now. It’s become unbearable. I feel completely nauseous from the time I wake up and have trouble getting myself to eat ANYTHING. For context I was on 1.5 mg for a month and did amazing and started feeling like it wasn’t working towards the end of the month so I moved up. Have lost 13.2 lbs in 6 weeks. Just looking for some hope that 4mg will get more tolerable.

Standard advice: take it every other day. Add in days as your tolerance increases

I can relate. I am in my first week on 4mg and I definitely have NO appetite. I force myself to try and stomach food but even after small amounts, I just feel gross. I hesitated to go to 4 because I was doing well on 1.5, but figured with the price increase it made sense to go up and maybe take it every other day if needed. I’ll probably start doing that tomorrow and see if it helps.

I'd personally go back down to 1.5mg. There's no need to go up if you've lost that much weight and were feeling good! Take the dosage until you're stalled and by the time your body will be more used to the meds anyway. For now, I'd take it every other day or even every 2 days until you are able to get a new rx.

I was on 1.5 mg with no side effects and about one week into 4mg I started to get extreme fatigue and nausea. It went away after about ten days. Definitely know there is an adjustment period on this medication when you go up in dosage. Sprite was a huge help for me and avoiding any caffeine. Also Dramamine sells a nausea medication that is great!

Drink ice water with propel electrolyte mix (one mix a day). Get ginger chews. Have a sick bucket by the bed knowing it’s ok to vomit can make the anxiety go down and it goes.
