Did anyone lose weight on 2.5mg?

Yes, I lost my first 1.5 stone on 2.5. Now at 5 and a half lost on 10mg. Started in Jan.

I did, slowly but surely. I've just gone up to 5mg after being on 2.5mg since April. I'm 11kg down now. Much slower than some people, but it's a pace I'm happy with.

I lost 13lbs on 2.5mg. Only stayed on it 4 weeks because I was recommended to go up.

I have lost 8 stone 10 (over 14mths) and never went higher than 5mg. Stuck with 2.5 for about 3mths, 3.75 for 6mths and then 5 for the rest (titrated down to to 2.5 for the last 6wks)

Yes but bear in mind it's not a therapeutic dose so you many people do not lose anything- it's intention is to just get your body used to the medication.

HansHolbein · 19/08/2025 11:32

Yes, I lost about 15lbs on 2.5. I did it for 4 doses. My starting weight was 16st 2.7lbs.

Ineedanewsofa · 19/08/2025 11:37

Yep, 8kg down in under 6 weeks. Planning on staying with 2.5 for another 6 weeks, then may move to 5 as I’m definitely noticing the suppression is lessening but it still works well for not overeating

RenegadeKeeblerElf · 19/08/2025 11:48

I've lost 10kg in 5 weeks on 2.5mg, no plans to go up any time soon as I'm finding it effective

Yellowsubmarine55 · 19/08/2025 11:50

I've no plans to increase, 21 weeks in and 46lb down.

WeAllHaveWings · 19/08/2025 11:57

Lost 18lbs in first 5 weeks of 2.5mg.

Only moved up because at the time, back then, I thought you had to, moved to 3.75mg as a stepping stone up, realised I didn't need to move up at all so have stuck there for 14 months. Lost over 8st so far.

It will all come down to both how you personally respond (some get no effects at all until higher doses) and also your expectations from the medication - full suppression or just reduced food noise/cravings/portion control to support to stay in calorie deficit.

6 and a half stone and still losing. All on 2.5mg.

PearlsPearl · 19/08/2025 21:26

30lb in 10 weeks on 2.5.

Just moved up to 5 but getting walloped with side effects so will drop to 3.75 next week.

Yes 2.5 stone 😊
