Comparing Adipex-P vs Saxenda

For Weight Loss I took this drug about 5 years and it did wonders for me but unfortunately a year after that I fell off the wagon, since that time I have gained almost 100lbs. I'm 5'7" and currently weigh 220lbs, so today, May 5, 2018, I start my journey again and I am super excited because I know it works! I will update on my progress!

For Weight Loss I started off on the highest mg which is 37.5 and it has worked very well for me. In my first month I had lost 26lbs and in 6 months, I lost a total of 90lbs. I DID NOT EAT HEALTHY NOR DID I EXERCISE. I took a break from it a couple of months back because it's not safe to take it for an extended period of time due to the fact that it takes a toll on your liver. I just got back on it again yesterday. It will cause you to have DRY MOUTH, CONSTIPATION, URGES TO DRINK LOTS OF WATER, ENERGY, ABILITY TO STAY FOCUSED, INSOMNIA, FAST HEART RATE, MOOD SWINGS, NAUSEA AND EASES BODY PAIN. I have a heart murmur and panic attacks so after taking this medication, I notice it gets harder for me to breath as the day goes by.

For Obesity Week 2 on Saxenda, 64 yr old female, started at 262 lbs, down to 257 lbs. it really cut my appetite back a lot. I just dialled up to 1.2 yesterday, haven't noticed much change as of yet. I don't think about food all the time anymore, which I think is a step in the right direction. Trying to make wise food choices, and really cut back on portions. Slight nausea and hard to sleep the first week, but that has passed. Will update next week. Good luck all, we CAN do this!

For Obesity I've been on Saxenda for three months and the following are items I've learned and you may find helpful. -the very first thing you should do is register with SaxendaCare. The company has a dietitian and nurse to help you through your weight loss journey -track your eating with an app such as Myfitnesspal (note NUTRITION) -be mindful when you are feeling the side effects to decide when best to take the medication (did you know it has a full effect after 12 hours) -eat smaller meals more often, drink lots of water and limit high fat foods and sugar laced food -let your stomach finish digesting your food before going to bed because another side effect is acid reflux -meet with your doctor on a regular basis and have blood work to monitor
