The FDA approved a higher dose of Semaglutide in March, saying it led to additional weight loss without bad side effects (in those that didn’t experience bad side effects on a lower dose). I’ve arrived at 2.4 recently and plan to stick with it for at least 3 months but I’m interested in hearing from others who have increased from there. I’ve been a slow responder, averaging less than half a pound a week but definitely feel the 2.4 so hopefully that’ll be my highest dose. But, I am thinking ahead in case it’s not enough. I know lots of people switch to tirzepatide but I have tolerated Semaglutide well, so thinking about continuing to go up in dose. Has anyone else used a higher dose?

I have noticed stronger nails and rather than losing hair, as I thought would happen, my hairdresser says my hair is growing in thicker. Partly, this is probably because of my lack of attention to nutrition prior to starting GLP1. I now have a more balanced diet of whole foods and take a multivitamin. Doctor says i may also be seeing a benefit from adding B12 to the dose. What do you think? My blood pressure hasn’t been this healthy since I was much younger and fasted blood glucose is extremely healthy. The weight is going off slowly, 22 lbs in 8 months, but I’m still not at the therapeutic dose. I’m not sure I care as much about the lbs as the lifestyle change this is making possible. I increased exercise and added weight lifting this week. I know it’s not all in the shot but I’m amazed at the difference this has made in my physical and mental health. This makes me wanna dance! Love to all you fellow travelers!

I’ve been taking Semaglutide Compound since mid January with very few side effects.

The surprises have been changing tastes; a lack of interest in alcoholic drinks but also noted lack of interest in eating processed foods. Where I used to crave salty snacks, they don’t taste good to me anymore….ie, chips taste like cardboard. Lately, my morning coffee (which I’m religious about having), tastes terrible and I can only have a couple of sips! I not only don’t crave it, I don’t like the taste anymore! Has anyone else noticed this?
