Comparing Adipex-P vs Saxenda

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 Weight Loss It was really effective for me. My doctor only prescribed it for two months though. I lost 34 pounds.

For Obesity I started October 1, 2018. I had to stay on low dosages for a few weeks before stepping up as I had really bad nausea. It took about 2 1/2 months before I was able to be at the 3.0 dosage. I find taking it at night helped, I have had a lot of reflux. If I eat spicy or greasy food my stomach will hurt, really bad. I find I do not really have an appetite for red meat any more. Saxenda has really curb cravings, and assisted cutting down portions. I was 199lbs, as of this post now 174lb. Nausea has eased up now. I try to target between 1200 - 1400 calories a day, the holidays were tough but the medicine helped maintain. I am also in menopause, 52 yr old female, so struggling with all those fun symptoms, so the fact I have been able to loose weight is significant. I exercise between 2 - 3 times a week.

For Obesity Started Saxenda 14 days ago and have lost 5.4 lbs in total (started at 195.2, currently at 189.8), HOWEVER that has yo-yo'd several times a week. The constipation is awful, I finally broke down and bought laxatives because it has caused so much bloat and honestly can't believe I'll lose weight without passing anything that I eat. I started at the lowest dose and didn't notice it helped so now I'm at the highest dose and considering talking to my doctor about increasing it or adding another med to combat cravings. I use a calorie tracker and try to stay at 1,200 calories a day or less and I cut myself a break on weekends, but don't go too overboard because it makes me ill. I have to say after reading other successes at this point, I'm pretty disappointed that I haven't lost more. I'll be sticking with it though because I'm determined to get this weight off. Good luck to everyone on this journey, I'll be updating regularly.
