Hi @Springflowers2 - you're in a tricky spot and I can tell you feel fed up and overwhelmed. It will be okay, try not to spiral - this drug costs a lot of money and in the real world that matters. Plus if you've lived your life with obesity and all the associated physical and psychological damage that does, then it's very easy to see only the dark side and be pessimistic and even panicky. You have lost vast amounts of weight already, so well done.
I think as has already been said, you need to think about what the problem is - are you over-eating and getting too much food noise, or are you genuinely (being super honest with yourself) eating within calorie range? If it's the first one - over-eating and food noise - then that is what was happening to me. I wasn't just only losing a little, I was actually starting to gain, all while shelling out £270 a month for my 15mg pens that had zero effect. That's why I chose to come off and reset, and am now back on 2.5mg (£130) and feeling decent suppression. I did some damage weight wise during that break and who knows how it will all work out for me - I've given up trying to predict, because nobody seems to have the same journey, and I certainly am on a very zig-zaggy line. That's okay, I can only be me, there is no option for me to swap with someone taking a simpler path, we're all stuck with ourselves so we better try and make the best of it I suppose!
If, though, you are still getting suppression, and still eating within calories, and only losing a very small amount - then that might simply be because you have already lost so much. Reading all the posts on here from the ladies who are nearing target, that seems to be the case. That's what happens. I totally understand what you're saying, that paying £300 a month for a tiny loss is frustrating (you can get it cheaper as has been pointed out - I'm with Get Weight Loss, it's £270 for a 15mg pen, but the advantage for me of them is that once you've been accepted, you don't have to send in any more pics/videos etc, just fill in a simple form each month). Would it be worth swapping to one of the cheaper providers for now? I know that feels daunting, maybe do it when you are having a good day and feeling more positive and confident? Then if that helps a little bit financially, seeing if you can lose the rest, accepting that it might be very slow. I think unfortunately that's just how it is near the end of a big weight loss journey. Then, you can look at titrating down and seeing how you get on?
If that sounds impossible, then there is nothing stopping you having a break - I was off for 5 weeks - but it was an easier choice for me because I was gaining already, and you're not. It's a matter of how you think you'd cope with a month off, and how much of an impact the potential gain during that period would make you feel. I for one am resigned to being on it for life, if I ever even reach target - but I am hoping for financial reasons that it won't be on 15mg! Research is going on all the time though about this, new products are being developed, everything is changing - by the time you reach target there might be an entirely new way to do it!
