My use of these drugs began mainly to hold steady after dropping seventy kilos and keeping that off for twelve months, even though hunger never left. After that I tried a smaller amount of the first medication for about a year, which brought some unwanted reactions yet eased the appetite a little. A year back I moved to fifteen milligrams of the second one and then added five milligrams of the third because the hunger stayed, and lately I added half a milligram of the fourth, which gave fewer reactions than the earlier drug at point eight milligrams weekly. Over the past year another ten kilos came off, bringing me near a steady point at fifty five percent below the starting one forty five down to sixty four kilos. The biggest change is that constant hunger has gone, so eating only when actually hungry no longer leads to gains, something I had never managed before. Even relaxing a bit on very energy dense items has not thrown things off. The way stable weight gets defined in those trials seems off to me, since under five percent shift across three months might sound fine but compounds to twenty percent across a full year, which hardly counts as steady. Beginning a maintenance amount at a real flat point differs from starting it while the scale is still moving downward on these drugs, and the amount needed at a true flat point is likelier to be the right long term level. From what shows up in forums many appear to hold steady on smaller amounts than they used for the drop, though that crowd tends to be very driven and often adds exercise, and even the trials show some staying lower while most do not. Trying a reduced amount for a stretch to check results carries little obvious downside, as long as doses can be raised again if gains start before they get large, yet it still seems that whatever amount produced the loss will usually be the one needed to keep it. When obesity counts as more serious there is a solid case for remaining at the top levels long term to cut disease risks, since people in that range face high chances of diabetes and heart issues and larger amounts do more to lower those odds, while the dangers and any prior harm do not vanish fully just from big weight drops. These drugs also appear to lower chances of many other issues over time such as certain cancers, and bigger amounts likely work better even without full proof yet.
