Default Quit Glumetza since didn't lose weight..now what?

So...I was taking Glumetza for about 7 months in combination with watching what I ate and avoiding sugar and a ton of exercise. Finally I was so sick of taking it-it didn't make me sick but I had cravings and fatigue--I quit.

Surprise surprise as I lost 8 pounds after quitting-without changing my eating patterns or exercise. I still do as much exercise and avoid sugar as I had done before. I do notice that I don't get as tired after eating and don't have the serious sugar cravings Glumetza gave me. Also don't have the Glumteza bloat. I never had the problems going to the bathroom that other people have, if anything, I get constipated from Met and Glumetza (like 6 days worth and yes, I eat fiber etc) and my stomach puffs up like a balloon.

However, now my weight loss has stalled. Really stalled. I have added more weights but I can't seem to move it.

Should I try going back to the endo and asking for a bigger dose or try regular MET again? I hate to go back to the fatigue from hell.

My OBGYN put me on phentermine and metformin. I have already lost 9 pounds since Saturday...maybe this is an option for you?
