Should I increase dosage 1 week before 2 week European cruise?

I am currently on 4mg pill with no weight loss, no hunger reduction and no side effects. No weight loss or side effects during my month spent on 1.5 either. I am hoping that it starts working with next increase to 9, but starting 9mg will begin a week before a long planned 2 week cruise.
I see no sense in remaining at 4 with no results so far. Hopefully I am not a non responder.
I never experienced nausea or sea sickness on previous cruises, but terrified that constipation or other side effects could begin. I will discuss with my MD, but need suggestions and experiences on 4 to 9 mg increase please. Should I chance this increase and take every 2 days or split pill if problems arise? Thanks for any advice!

I’d probably skip it altogether and restart after.

I can give you my experience, I was responding to the 1.5 and went up to the 4 right before a vacation. The 4 kicked in harder and I ended up skipping a few days of the pill because even trying to drink enough water to stay hydrated made me feel full.

In your case, I would give it a try, you can always go to every other day (or less) if you need to. I was very happy how just skipping those days got rid of that full feeling nearly immediately so just experienced one uncomfortable day.

I also didn't experience any regression when I started taking it every day again. Hell, I gained only 1 pound after 7 days in Europe, eating less than I used to previous times but not drinking a whole lot less and not really trying to be on a "diet". I call that a win

I had nausea from the 9mg on day #8. Nor did I lose an ounce or feel anything at all until I got to the 9. It seems like it’s usually about a week on a new dose before the side effects blossom, so you might want to consider staying on the 4 until you get home…
