Weight Loss
"I was placed on Sexenda about 16 months ago. Studies have shown that after 12 months that weight loss does not happen. That has proved true. I started at 212 lb and at 16 months was down to 179.   at my last appointment  I had a 5lb weight gain ( due to menstruation)  and my insurance company would not renew my prescription. There for the doctors said to go ahead and stop it completely. when I initially started this medication I was explained that you should not stop this suddenly and should be weaned off - I was at the max dose of 3mg daily.  It has been a month since I have last taken the medication and I have gained 10lbs back. I have not changed anything I was doing to previously. Just a warning toto after sexenda use and the discontinuing process."
