My 6‑week tesofensine run – appetite, weight, and side notes

Posted by robin616 in Weight Loss & Metabolic - 1 points, 0 comments.

3 mg each morning after reading about its appetite effects. I’m not chasing a quick fix, just curious how it feels alongside my usual routine of tracking weight and HRV. First three days I noticed a dry mouth and a bit more energy in the mornings, nothing crazy.

By day five my hunger dropped noticeably – I could skip the usual afternoon snack without feeling irritable. I kept my food log simple, just noting meals and portions, and my average daily intake fell about 25% without forcing it. 2 kg over the six weeks, mostly fat according to my scale’s bioimpedance (which I know isn’t lab grade but shows a trend).

Sleep stayed fine; I took it early enough to avoid any insomnia. No blood pressure spikes in my home checks, but I checked it twice a week just in case. Overall it felt like a gentle curb on cravings rather than a stimulant buzz. Would be interested to hear if others saw similar appetite changes or if the dry mouth eased over time.
