Question is, what happens when I get off of it?

How many times have you tried other things? Fad diets, move more and eat less, etc? You are now taking medicine that treats your disease. Why do you believe you should stop taking the medication? Would you stop taking a beta blocker because it was working and heart disease had been held in check? Why would you stop taking your obesity medicine because it is working?

Some people are capable of overcoming the disease without medication. Most are not. You should discuss this with a medical professional with expertise in obesity medicine before considering a discontinuation of a medicine that is improving your quality of life and fending off early death or subsequent disease. Ideally look for DABOM behind the MD. ASMBS as well, or both if you want the most medically informed.

Congrats on getting healthier. Very glad you found the treatment needed for your disease. Like most other diseases, the symptom prevalence will return once treatment is discontinued.
