I've lost 57 lbs and look better than I have in years. But I feel weird about it. Like I cheated? I know I didn't, the drug is a tool. But seeing people who've struggled for years without meds and then seeing me drop weight fast... I feel guilty sometimes. Anyone else deal with this?

Same here! I had the exact same experience at 2.5mg. The nausea peaked around week 1 and then gradually improved. Hang in there, it gets better.

Same here! I had the exact same experience at 10mg. The nausea peaked around week 17 and then gradually improved. Hang in there, it gets better.

Following because I'm in the same boat. Week 15, 7.5mg, and the plateau is real. I'm trying to be patient but it's frustrating.
