I began Wegovy 2 shots ago - 13 days ago. The first injection was wonderful. It helped my anxiety, hunger, and I overall just felt better. I was very optimistic. Only side effects were mild nausea and intermittent side pains.

Fast forward to second shot: thought it would be great. Wrong.

48 hours later, I woke up with the worst tasting, painful sulfer burp I've ever had. Then came the most intense nausea ever. I sobbed on my bathroom floor writhing in pain dry heaving. I cried for two hours. Then came the liquid water squirts. Every 30 minutes all day. It was like the worst stomach virus I've ever had. 3 days of this...

I had to take Zofran, Pepcid, Gaviscon, Gas X, and something for anxiety because my anxiety was through the roof. I could barely keep anything in, and even if I did it just liquified on its way out.

The fourth day I started to feel a bit better and was able to get fluids and a bit of food. Still, not great.

Today, day 5, I still had a little improvement but liquid diarrhea still. Still feeling nauseated weak and fatigued, I went to the ER.

I had low potassium and was very dehydrated and got fluids despite drinking a liquid IV everyday and getting 100oz the last two days. Thank goodness it wasn't worse.

I will be discontinuing Wegovy, and wanted people to know 2 things:

1) You can have severe side effects at anytime and they're not life threatening.

2) Don't be afraid to get checked out. Fluids really do help. Farewell y'all.

After a progression of doses since February we finally increased in last week and mere hours after latest injection i was nauseas and was vomiting on/off violently for hours on end , my resting heart rate jumped next day to an insane 135 and stayed high until i went to the ER and got help on docs advice . Nurse said explicitly that they had seen plenty of victims of this product, so beware. While it had some short term benefits it definitely didn't outdo disadvantages.

Within 20 of my goal weight. This medicine is a life saver. Personally my thought is BMI is very out of whack with overall health. But, is anyone else’s goal to be in the overweight BMI category and stop there? Discussed with my doctor and she said that’s a good place to be overall- almost more so than “normal BMI” as our bodies need some fat to hold on to. Just wondering what others goals are!

I made the same mistake as many of you and restarted after a month with my 1.7 dose. I was vomiting all next day and nauseous for the next but also had a terrible pressure headache! Anyway, I was thinking my body now has the 1.7 so should I be ok for 1.7 on my next dose or go down in dosage. Or should I postpone a few days?

Hi All, been taking weight for 5 months and lost 17kgs. I’m still keen to lose about 3-5 more but I’m going on an overseas holiday for two weeks and considering stopping of just injecting a half dose so I can enjoy having full meals. Any advice or thoughts? I already have picked up my prescription so any tips on injecting a half dose would be great as well as wondering nausea rebound.

Hi all! I’m looking for honest advice and hoping someone here has been in a similar situation.

I stopped Wegovy in January because I found out I was pregnant shortly after my last injection (I was on 0.5 mg at the time). Sadly, I lost the pregnancy around week 9, and I can’t stop wondering if the timing of that last dose might have had something to do with it.

I’ve since had a D&C and want to start trying again soon. But summer is coming, and I’ve gained quite a bit of weight since stopping Wegovy. I’m really struggling with body image, and on top of that, I have ADHD, which makes it hard to control my eating – Wegovy truly helped with that.

My question is: has anyone here used Wegovy during the time when they were trying to conceive (but not yet pregnant)? Is it something you’d consider safe to use while TTC, knowing you’d stop immediately upon a positive test?

I know it’s not recommended during pregnancy, and I would of course stop as soon as I get a positive result. But I’m scared of doing something wrong again and just don’t know what’s worse – the weight gain and mental toll, or the fear of repeating past mistakes.

Thank you so much for reading.

Hi friends! I’ve been using Wegovy for a little over a year. My insurance, Cigna, has covered almost the complete cost this entire time. I just went to order this months box from Amazon pharmacy and the price has increased from the normal $20 I’ve been paying to $1391? Is this something I should be asking my insurance about?

Sorry if this has already been asked.

I am wondering what the process is to get a prescription online in Canada and from what providers. Do you have to have a video appointment? Telephone appointment? Take pictures? Weigh yourself? I’d preferably not want to have a video appointment. I’d just like to fill out some criteria, have them fill out my insurance forms, and take it into a pharmacy instead of going through a whole rigmarole.

Thanks in advance!

I just started a new pen. I wasn’t looking forward to doing 1.7mg tonight. I am not feeling very well, but I am down 3kg. Popped my needle on and pushed the button to bring some up to the surface. I saw nothing. So I mindlessly dial up to 1.7kg and press the button again. All of a sudden a stream is projected into the air across my kitchen! Holy crap. I release the button and think I just wasted a whole shot. I immediately start cleaning up what’s on the floor but I don’t see a lot. I check the pen and only need to crank it a few clicks to get back to 1.7mg. Whew. 😅 I didn’t lose too much. Hopefully I can still get 4 full shots from this pen. I pay £275 per pen, so that’s about £70 per injection. That’s the last thing I need in this economy. Especially after the last two days of Trumponomics and its effect on the market. 🤬

I am down 40lbs and have 15lbs to go.

I tried other GLP1s , lastly was Wegovy and it did absolutely nothing. I was devastated as expected and figured I was a "non-responder". I've been trying to lose weight since I was 12 and I'm 35 now, had severe PCOS and infertility my entire life. and after an unsuccessful life of obesity and major diet changes. the ONLY thing that worked in 20+ years is Zepound. Ive lost 35 lbs since Feb. and got my first period in 15 YEARS.

It has completely changed my life. -My ovaries, my skin, my mental health, my sleep, my asthma, allergies- everything.

TL;DR if GLP1s aren't working for your body try Zepbound first before throwing in the towel. it works differently than the others chemically.

I'm a developer. While using Wegovy, I needed a way to easily manage weight and medication tracking, compare progress photos, check split dosing options, and monitor how much medication is left in my current pen - so I made an app for it.

You can find it on the App Store by searching for "withgovy".

I designed it to ensure that none of your information is stored outside the app, so you can use it with complete peace of mind!

If you have any questions, feel free to ask me.

apparently, trump's administration has decided that anti-obesity medications such as wegovy will no longer be covered under medicare part D or medicaid...

this is really worrying for me, as i have only started on wegovy 2 weeks ago and i cannot afford it unless my medicaid covers it.

anyone else here worried?

While I’ve posted in here several times showing more flattering photos, the one to the left is one that I’ve never shared online for obvious reasons; however, I’m so excited to share it with this community because if we’re in this community, we had exhausted all other efforts before getting on Wegovy.

I hope you’re encouraged to start to reclaim your life again. I hope you’re encouraged to post your most vulnerable photos alongside the one you’re most proud of.

To those of you who are interested in getting started, do it! To those of you who’ve seen minimal to no results, keep going. Keep betting on you. To those of you whose lives have been transformed, congratulations.

Starting weight: 228lb Current weight: 184lb Goal weight: 150lb

I cannot express how grateful I am for this medicine. I have been on some sort of diet since I was 12 years old. I have never had a more normal relationship with food in my memory.

I ran a mile before work today. I went in a restaurant to celebrate and the celebration was not cooking, instead of the food. I tell everyone asks me how much I love wegovy because frankly it has changed everything for me.

Wegovvy started September 2024

I'm writing b/c I spent a week freaking out and giving myself horrible diseases after experiencing skin pain (allodynia) on my thigh and I want others to know that this is a side effect for a small percentage of people on Wegovy. I've been on it for over 3 years. I'm at goal and have been for about 2 years. Suddenly - I took my shot and 24 hours later I felt this strange sunburn like pain but with no burn showing. Google gave me Fibromyalgia and Multiple Sclerosis. I was terrified. THEN about 6 days later it went away and I just let it go. I took the shot again as per usual (every 2 weeks for me) and BAM- 24 hours later- allodynia again.

It's clearly some sort of side effect that is just now showing up for me after over 3 years on the drug. I'm not worried anymore and want others in this boat to know it's not something to be worried about ---UNLESS its bothering you too much. Obviously talk with your doctor- but it's not a reason in and of itself to stop the drug or be concerned that you have a horrible disease and it CAN show up randomly after being on the drug for a long period of time.

I know no one might see my comment but if you are starting out can you please use my referral code for £40 off your treatment!! I only need to buy one more pen to get to my goal weight but at the moment it's a struggle for me to pay it. So please if you can use this code AARW25

I started Wegovy July 2024. Aside from the first couple of dosages, I haven’t had any major side effects. I drink a lot of water and try to eat the highest protein meals.

Since the beginning, I have craved the worst foods-the cravings switch between fried foods (pizza/chinese) to sweets (like cupcake icing.) When I do give into a craving and eat the “bad” foods, I have NO bad reaction. I thought Wegovy was supposed to make these all go away and am wondering if this means it’s time to switch to another drug like Zepound.

Has anyone else had this happen? If so what did you do?

We went to dinner last night to a Mexican restaurant. I didn't think I was hungry, but after smelling the food, ordered fish tacos and munched on chips and salsa before hand. After one fish taco I was definitely full, normally I could eat all three, but I felt bad wasting my meal so ate one more and took home the third. Holy moly, I still felt full at the in three morning. 😬 I think I'll start ordering off the kids menu. 🤪

So I just went through all my pants. Smallest I’ve been in 15+ years is a 16R biggest 22W. I am almost back to a 16-depends on the brand. Cant bring myself to just donate all the jeans and pants I have that are now to big but feel like keeping them is giving myself the ok to gain it all back again someday. What are people doing with good quality clothes that don’t fit any more?

I prefer to stay on the lowest dose. I’m currently on .25 ozempic and had to switch to wegovy. My dr gave me .5 pens but I don’t want to go up to .5. Is there a way to stay on the .25 dose with .5 wegovy pens?

Any tips for the nausea? I get it when I eat, when I don't, can't figure it out. I can't seem to figure out what is the culprit...too little food/water in me? Too much sugar or carbs? I need a strategy to head off nausea before it starts because I'm starting a new job soon and I can't be dealing with severe nausea every day. Help!

I need to drop down to half my dosage and don't want to waste my current shots as they are expensive. I thought I could stop depressing the pen when the yellow line reached the halfway point but it doesn't stop administering. Any ideas? I'm thinking of emptying a pen and then filling up 2 syringes equally. Not sure how to inject after that.

I had my first shot last Friday. I live with IBS and acid reflux, but I didn't have any nausea, constipation, or diarrhea there next week.

However, for the next few days, my abdominal muscles were tired and weak as if I'd had a 12-hour puke fest. It took effort to speak and my voice was shaky because my abdomen wasn't engaging enough to push out naturally. It went back to normal in a few days.

I took my second shot last night. I woke up with the same issue this morning, which makes me think it's a side effect of the shot.

Dr. Google didn't mention anything about this. Has anyone heard of this this?
