Weight Loss Doctor

I'm not losing much weight. No side effects. Been on for 3. Weeks approx ## I'm talking about Belviq... I've been on 3 weeks. Not working. Anyone have good results after a month?? ## Hello, Barb! How are you? How much have you lost? Are you also getting exercise and eating healthy? Not every medication works for everyone that tries, but you should give it about 4 to 6 weeks to each its full level of effectiveness in your body. If you're not seeing any improvement after that, then you should consult your doctor. The FDA lists the typical side effects of Belviq as possibly including nausea, dizziness, dry mouth, sweating and anorexia.

I have been on lowest does for 3 months and have lost nothing. Next week I start .05. I have no appetite and the constipation is AWEFUL! I JUST NEED TO LOSE WEIGHT. And I'm paying $500/month due to insurance not covering. Anyone else lost nothing?? ## I've been taking Wegovy for seven months, and I've lost 30 pounds (13% of my starting bodyweight). But my brother-in-law has been on Zepbound for six months - now up to the second-highest dosage - and has lost only about seven pounds (2% of his bodyweight). His doctor says he needs to sleep more to see conclusively if it can work to help with weight loss - he's getting only about five hours of sleep a night due to work and family responsibilities. ## Thank you! I will try more sleep.

Hi. I started lamotrigine last Aug and lost my appetite in October. I have had significant weight loss. I don't want to go off of it, because it has been incredibly helpful mood wise.

Thanks very much. ## Hello, Kwwilkie! How are you doing? Has there been any change?

I found out i had type 2 diabetes in january of 2006, so my doctor put me on byetta, but i had to stop taking it in june 2006 because of the cost. My insurance doesn't cover it and it costs $187.00. It really helped me and i lost a total of 30lbs. Now i am scared i will gain the weight back. ## Byetta is really only a temporary fix for weight problems anyway, just like various diets, such as weight watchers, Jenny Craig and etc. you have to use it forever to maintain, if you ever go off, then those benefits are lost and the weight is gained back. If you really want a permanent weight loss, then you will need to set up a good diet and exercise plan, this way you can lose the weight in a healthier manner, and keep it off permanently. ## It's not that your insurance won't cover...

Hi, I recently found out I'm HIV positive, so the doc put me on Eflaten. I'd just like too know if I will experience anymore weight loss with this tablet? ## It is possible, since it may cause diarrhea, nausea, and dehydration, as side effects, according to the U.S. FDA. However, if that occurs, you doctor should be able to prescribe medications that can help prevent it from occurring. Are you on any other medications?

I am taking Redotex in the morning and orlistat twice a day, one after lunch and one after dinner, It's is my first day, I took them for a month about 4 years ago and los 45lbs, mind you, I was eating extremely healthy and was working out 3 hours a day, jog for one hour in the am and at night would do at the time turbo jam and as soon as I was done with that I'd go for another hour jog. My head would hurt every morning, it was more of a pain in the back of my lower head, but I stuck it out and if ever I felt dizzy I would eat an orange and I would feel better 15 minutes after. The combination is quite dangerous but if you are limiting your caffeine intake and are following your doctors orders you should be fine.. Consult your doctors, well if you live close by the border, becaus...

2 months ago my doctor prescribed Pradaxa because I have Dvt. I have other health issues therefore I take quite a few meds. After 1 month on Pradaxa, I said to the doc, there are 2 things a woman doesn't want to happen, 1-gain weight and 2- lose your hair. My genius doc said, hair loss is not a side effect. Told him I don't know where ha gets his info. I took it upon myself to stop Pradaxa. I have been off for 1 week & my hair keeps falling out. Anybody know when the hair loss stops and will your hair come back. To add insult to injury I began to gain weight. I am quite crippled due to severe arthritis in my hips so I don't want to carry any extra weight on my hips. Any ideas when that hunger eases up. Thanks. ## Hello, Dee Dee! How are you? I'm sorry about the probl...

I am not diabetic or in any stages. My doctor gave it to me to help with weight loss. I have about 30 lbs to lose and cant get rid of it. I am 55. Will this hurt me to take this? ## It seems that in some people a sluggish metabolism that makes it difficult for them to lose weight can be caused by insulin resistance and it can sometimes be helped by having them take an antidiabetic medication that can improve their body's use of insulin. Learn more Metformin details here. Common side effects may include nausea, dizziness, flatulence and stomach pain. There are possible risks with taking any medication, but only you and your doctor can decide if the possible benefits outweigh them. Have you discussed your concerns with your doctor?

Hopefully after 2months my doctor said he will change my meds to a lighter one. Any suggestions?

I started Ozempic on July 24, it is now Oct 1 and I have only lost 8 pounds. I try to stay under 1,200 calories a day and I walk about 10,000 steps. My dose was 0.25 mg which is 10 units or 0.1 ML. Tomorrow, I start my 0.50 mg which is 20 units or 0.2 ML. My question is: Is it normal to lose only 8 pounds in 2 months? ## I've been on Ozempic for 4 months and I've only lost 10 pounds. I was just at my doctor's and she was well pleased, she said it's best to lose it slowly. I'm not as pleased though, of course I'm impatient from hearing of all the ones dropping weight left and right! Maybe it will come to me soon enough, I don't want to give up. Just hold on!

What pain medications are safe to take on Contrave? I have been taking Tylenol arthritis and glucosamine daily and am now starting the 2 and 2 this week. Also large hard to pass stools, so I'm taking laxatives as well, but don't want to harm my liver. I feel great on Contrave. I was on Adipex and all it did was make my mouth very dry and make me agitated. ## Hello, Lisa! How are you? Contrave contains Bupropion and Naltrexone, the latter of which neutralizes opiates, such as Oxycodone, and Hydrocodone. So, you can take Tylenol with it, unless your doctor instructs you not to do so. Glucosamine is considered to be a supplement, so any possible interactions between it, and most medications, have not been studied extensively. Is your doctor aware that you are taking it? Whether or ...
