Looking back, I wish I had stayed on 2.5mg longer. Currently, I am stretching the 5mg dose to 2 weeks. Thinking about going back to 2.5mg.

Forgot to mention that I also have Hashimoto. My thyroid medication had to be adjusted as I lost the weight.

I really desperately need something to make my weight issue a little easier (I had thyroid cancer and so am kept suppressed which makes me gain weight even when desperately trying not to. And no it’s not a concern for my Dr bc I did not have medullary).

It’s hard for me to believe this could really work for me without making me too sick to work. Would love to hear advice and hopeful stories! I have a super stressful job and I can’t afford insomnia or to be super migrainy or nauseous

Op- I am so sorry about your cancer and am wishing you well. I also hope that you know GLP-1s increase your risk of thyroid cancer.
