Explain a semaglutide like I'm 5.. because I have a question..
Im currently on Wegovy. 6th week in.
I took the 0.25 injection for the first 4 weeks.
Im currently on the 0.5 injection.
Im having little to no side effects.. but my appetite is HEAVILY suppressed. It was heavily suppressed on even the 0.25 injection, which I am fine with.
When i wasked about refills, my doc told me that the will keep increasing the dose every 4 weeks... and if i show negative side effects to back down to the prior dosage.
My question is, if Im losing weight, not having any ill side effects, and my appetite is suppressed, can I suggest to my doctor to just keep me on the same dosage? Or is there something more I should be expecting as the dosage goes up. I'm a very analytical person.
I take the shot.
Shot suppresses my appetite.
I dont feel sick
I lose weight.
???????????

Period. So why up the dosage unless the hunger comes back?
Thanks in advance
