[quote=Anonymous]So, I found that happened to me when I was on a higher dose. I mentioned this recently on another thread: but my “trick” is to stay on the very lost dose possible but then to occasionally pop up my dose when the anxiety is really unmanageable. It’s been a good balance for me in dealing with the side effects but not quitting completely. I also think you get used to the higher doses and have to keep ratcheting up, but if you stay on the lower dose you’re not getting so used to the higher side that it stops working. yMMV. Always prioritize your mental health. When that’s bad, life isn’t worth living, regardless of your size. That said, I do count my calories now, as I can’t trust my internal hunger as much.

Point: The balance can be tough to nail down. But I do think it’s possible for many of us to maximize the positive effects and minimize the negative side effects with a bit of trial and error. If my anxiety goes away completely, that’s great—but so does my motivation. So, for me, I’ll take a little anxiety and a lower dose. But off the meds, I’m really not a functioning human a lot of the time. So that also is a no-go. [/quote]
