Hi All,can anyone tell me when or if the weight will come either during or after finishing with tapering off mirt.I feel like a large piece of lard on 2 legs after adding 2 stone.I have just seen myself in the mirror and look like Ian Beale in Eastenders with a protruding tum.I am on 3rd cut from 15ml-now down to 11.9mg or 0.77ml.

    To all ladies who's suffer from weight gain for the same reason, The Mirt. I only have started it in about three months and ive gained around a stone which is a lot in my case. Ive always been about 51kg now nearly 57, i also am a short one and now i look like a stuffed socks!! I havent gained the weight in the usual way, most of it is on my arms and weist hips and my belly. My doc never mentioned the side effects i just read all about it few days ago and I'm still shocked. i was already suspecious as im running almost every day 4km for 6 weeks and only 1 kg went off. in usual case i would be at my target. that lone kilogramm went off on those 3 days when i was out of medication. this Mirt really does help but the craving it causes is horrible and feel like my stomach is a blackhole, nothing fills it in, no food is a satisfactory. i started reducing the 15mg to 7.5 and we shall see if thst helps. fingers crossed and i hope you all will have your desired shape back eventually(so do i i hope)
