Anyone on Mysimba ?

[jannyapple]

New here , interested to know if anyone has ever or is currently taking Mysimba ?

Good luck. It’s a nice break from food controlling you.

I finish my last massive egg yesterday even with saxenda. Today there are no more eggs, so I explained to my new saxenda pen than I really need her to be effective and cut the hunger and it worked, so far so good. But I will cross to mysimba next time
@jannyapple

Good luck @LadyAgripina !

Ordered Mysimba and it's arriving tomorrow, equally excited and petrified!

@HollyBollyBooBoo oh how exciting . Be realistic and expect some side affects , everyone is affected differently
There is a couple of FB support groups , most US . U.K. one is Mysimba U.K. group something like that lol I've just finished my 3rd week and very happy so far

Thanks @jannyapple, I've joined the UK FB group.

Oh brill, hope you get on ok . Remember it doesn't make you lose weight ! You have to do that yourself
But it will hopefully turn off that uncontrollable urge to devour the chocolate sweets and ice cream .. worked for me from day one , like a miracle . However it's not without its side affects so be kind to yourself and drink plenty of water , that will help with the constipation too

Good luck, HBB! Exercising is easier when you feel it’s more likely to make a difference.

@HollyBollyBooBoo how tempting! Keep coming to let us know how you are doing. I wish you luck in this journey!

Crikey what a morning! Took my first ever tablet at 8am, felt nauseous by 10.30am, puked up at 11.15am, fell asleep 11.30am - 1pm and now feel fine!

Very little appetite but I can feel my stomach grumbling, have had a cuppa and 2 crackers with a bit of hummus.

@HollyBollyBooBoo I've seen a lot of people talk about nausea or vomiting , thankfully I've not had that .. I still have hunger but just no desire for crap ...

Ive been taking it for around a month. Didn't see much reduction in appetite, which was disapointing, but my craving for snacks has gone. Lost eight pounds so far.

That's good @beguilingeyes I'm the same ... quite hungry but no craving for the bad stuff
Still on just 1 am but don't think increasing would affect appetite.. may have to add Saxenda for that , coping ok so far so I'll keep going

I started my simba only on Saturday but am definitely much less hungry. I didn’t sleep well on Saturday night but apart from that no side effects so far,

That's exactly my issue @MrsBungle i didn't sleep for the first 10 or so nights , although felt ok in the day too ? Had several horrible dreams and very restless .. never dream normally
It should settle .. I'm starting week 4 now

I slept like a log last night so I’m hoping I got away with just the one night!

Now it’s been mentioned I realise I too had bad dreams at the beginning. I’ve just restarted about 3 days ago and I don’t have any side effects.

@LadyWithLapdog ah that's good
I think mine is better , still disturbed sometimes but mostly not
Been very lucky re the side affects
Just really want it to continue

I'm on it too. Started at the end of February. I've lost almost a stone. It's a little miracle for me. My diet hasn't changed that much, so my weight lost is slow, but as others have said, my craving for sweet stuff and snacks has gone. I haven't opened my Easter egg :)

It just goes to show how much of my weight problem is from eating crap.

The only side effect for me is that it has a mild laxative effect.

That's good @beguilingeyes
I fear it has stopped working for me , however I need to increase the dose , I kept in the 1 Am as it was working well but the last 2 days I've wanted chocolate and did give in 😩
Tomorrow I'm going to increase to 2 see if it helps
Fingers crossed

Hi there- just ordered some of these so hoping I will have success here! How is everyone else doing?

Hi @lostitall good luck on your journey
I had a very successful 5 weeks with no cravings at all .. lost 16lbs then overnight it stopped working and I caved and had chocolate and sweets ice cream etc , increased but not feeling great on the 2 so am thinking of stopping for a while
Hate the whooshy whistley head , sleepless nights, teeth feel weird - like brushing an old wooden gate , not tempted by Saxenda so may be back to the drawing board for me .. or just a little break and then restart on 1 , hopefully it may work again . We shall see

That's a shame at least it was promising initially though

Hey @jannyapple I read all your comments and review on mysimba. I’m considering getting it as sick of eating my body weight in chocolates, sweets and cakes and telling myself I’ll do something about it tomorrow and tomorrow never comes. I found it interesting you lost so much from just 1 AM. Also yes the side effects seem scary but I’m so desperate to lose weight I almost don’t care. Since your last post did you go back to them? Are they working again?

It's worth a try. I haven't really had any side effects and I've lost a stone and eight pounds so far. I was like you..the diet always starts tomorrow.. meanwhile a packet of Kettle crisps and a bar of chocolate pretty much every day.
I don't want then now...it's like a tap has been turned off.
