Can I just vent for a second about day 3 on sema and i?

I know this forum is evidence-based and I love that about it, but sometimes you just need to let it out. I hit another plateau and I am frustrated.

Not looking for a fix necessarily — just solidarity. Anyone else going through this right now?

roxy_nash's experience with Day 3 on sema and I feel resonates deeply with mine. I went through almost the identical process — starting dose, titration timeline, side effects, everything.

The main difference: I am on a different medication. But the overall trajectory has been remarkably similar. Down 55 lbs in 10 months.

One thing I would add that roxy_nash did not mention: my sleep quality improved dramatically.

Thanks for sharing this, roxy_nash. A few questions about your Day 3 on sema and I experience:

  1. What dose are you currently on?
  2. How long before you noticed significant changes?
  3. Did your doctor have any specific recommendations about Day 3 on sema?

I am in a similar boat and trying to learn from others' experiences before my next appointment.

OP here — wow, did not expect this much response! Thank you all for the thoughtful replies on Day 3 on sema and I feel.

To answer CryptoCarl: I started tracking everything in a spreadsheet from day 1.

Quick update: I will post a proper update thread soon. Thanks again for the evidence-based discussion — this is exactly why I posted in a science-based community. 🙏
