Hi Lybrate user, The medicine should be started at lower doses and increase the dose gradually based on the response. Significant weight loss is observed in the patients treated with this medicine. Frequent monitoring of body weight is necessary. Any changes in the body weight should be reported to the doctor. This medicine should not be discontinued abruptly. It may cause withdrawal symptoms like dizziness, sleep disturbances and anxiety. Do not stop the use of this medicine without consulting your doctor You can eventually stop this medicine but not all of a sudden You can do yoga, pranayama and meditation for relaxing your body and mind Get involved busy every time. Eat healthy and avoid all junk food. Regular exercise is must You have to report this to doctor via message/ call asap.
