I've been on 15mg for just over a week and think that it's already not working very well. Should I be asking my Dr to increase my doasge?

Thanks

I feel pretty good but the 15 mg doesn't seem to be cutting it for me. I started at 288 and I've lost 3lbs in the last week. My goal right now is 200 but I'm only 5,2 so I will need to drop quite a bit more than 88lbs! I've done Atkins before too and I found it very hard. I'm just watching my carb & sugar intake now, not being as strict. Good to talk to you.

Hello there-

I started out taking the 37.5mg and that is what I still take. Quick question... Are you losing weight on the 15mg? If you are I wouldn't worry about it. If you are not or if the 15mg is not controlling your cravings then I would talk to your doctor and see what the doc has to say about bumping up your dose! Welcome and Good Luck on your weight loss journey! You should check out the Challenge forum and think about joining the Hoilday Challenge. It is a great way to get to know some of the people who post here. And it is a great source of motivation, inspiration ,ifo and friendship! Hope to see ya around! Take care... Shannon
