I took it and started out with a small dose. The impact of that dose wore off eventually and the plan at my clinic was to raise it over time.

I am concerned that maybe there isn't a dose where you can stop taking more and keep the results. I am worried that everybody will need to keep taking more as they build up more tolerance to it. The study that showed how effective the drug is was 60 weeks long.

That is a long time, but it doesn't show what happens if somebody plans on staying on the drug for years.

do you know what tolerance effects are acknowledged by the makers/doctors? I was thinking this was more like insulin; is it more like an opiate?
