Anyone on the Ascend Plus trial?

[Doddsy1967]

So I started taking the meds on the 7th Nov, my appetite has been considerably reduced, but this only really kicked in last week, guess it takes a while to work. I am going for my Diabetic MOT on the 12th December and I'll keep you posted on the results ..only thing I can say is that I have a bitter taste most of the time at the back of my throat, but so far no other issues. I'm excited where this journey is taking me !!

Hi I started the run in phase about early October on the first 3 mg phase I noticed nothing then the second 7 mg phase I noticed a lack of appetite particularly in the evening I could easily have passed on dinner. I don’t need or want to lose weight but have last half a stone on phase 2. The only side effect other than appetite on this phase has been some hypos.
I received the randomisation 14mg and appetite has returned and hypos have gone. The randomisation questionnaire was the first time I have been asked my bmi. All the pills have been very bitter pills to swallow. I feel I’m on the placebo now but I’ll see the trial through. It’s a good thing to do I think.
