Switched from Saxenda to Ozempic after plateauing — anyone have a similar experience?
Hi everyone!
Looking for some feedback on my situation. I was previously on Saxenda from 2023 until late 2025, and unfortunately eventually stalled. I originally went from 205 lbs down to around 160 lbs.
After plateauing, I started Ozempic about 6–8 weeks ago. I’m currently still on the 0.5 mg dose, but I feel like I’m not really seeing much change yet. I started around 195 lbs and I’m currently around 190 lbs, although obviously I can’t tell how much of that is actual weight loss versus normal fluctuations. I definitely don’t think I’ve plateaued again though.
Has anyone here switched from Saxenda to Ozempic after plateauing, or had a similar experience? Did it take a while before you started seeing more noticeable results?
For context, I’m 25F, my current goal weight is 170 lbs, but ideally I’d like to get back down to around 155–160 lbs. I’m 5’4”.
Honestly, I’m probably just overthinking it and comparing it to how quickly/well Saxenda worked for me originally. I’m just curious what other people’s experiences have been
