10mg MJ is wiping me out - does it get any better?

Hi everyone. Am on week 15 - on my 3rd 10mg dose and it is wiping me out. I have huge suppression, fatigue, some days a dodgy tummy and other days a weird type of insomnia where I am waking at 3am and unable to get back off to sleep. The plus side is whilst I stalled a bit the last 2 weeks of 7.5 I am now losing 2-3lb a week. All other doses in the first week I felt less than 100% but then got used to it. I am 3 weeks in now and wondering if anyone else felt terrible but then got better after a few weeks? Did anyone get used to it after 4 weeks? I need to reorder and am considering 7.5 but am worried I might stall again. I also wanted to stay on the higher dose as it is really helping my blood sugar levels. Or do I just accept that 10mg is my limit. Thanks

I’ve not experienced 10mg or 7.5mg but did have similar with 5mg where my body just didn’t seem to tolerate it, gave it a few weeks to adjust but it still wasn’t good in terms of side effects.
Reduced slightly to 4mg and that is suiting me really well so maybe consider that if you’re happy to count clicks.

Hi. This is exactly what happened to me. I just couldn't cope on the 10mg at all (absolutely fine on the other doses). I also felt really depressed which was alarming and scary as I've never had depression before.
I stopped taking it altogether for a week as I felt so low and just didn't know what to do. I then decided to move down to 7.5. Perhaps because I had a week off, not sure, but 2 weeks into 7.5 and I've got really good suppression again and feeling positive and more myself. I don't want to move up again if I can avoid it.

I did two months of 10 before moving up. It took a while to settle.

I'm like this on 5 😬. Third dose and like a zombie today.
