I’m now on the 4mg wegovy pill and I still haven’t lost weight and feel no different. I beginning to think it won’t work for me

I am now going back to zepbound. Went to 9mg of wegovy 1 month ago.... still kept on a low carb, high protein diet. Since switching to wegovy pill I have gained a total of 15 lbs and lots of inflammation. I know everyone is different, but it's clear wegovy isn't right for me. Back to zepbound where I will be paying a lot, but hopefully getting better benefits. Good luck to everyone! Remember, everyone is different. What works for you, might not work for someone else.

I started taking the pill two weeks ago. I feel nautious daily but I can't tell if it's being full or just not feeling good. I still like to eat a lot.

Any advice?

I took 1.5 for about 6 weeks, felt the effects - diminished food noise, feeling full. I lost about 10 lbs. I the effect started waning so I switched to 4 mg about 5 days ago. So far I don’t feel any difference. I might even feel like the food noise has returned a bit.

Does the 4 mg take a bit to begin working?

I have just gone up to 4mg and the headaches have been dibilitating. I am prone to headaches anyway but I've had one pretty much non-stop since increasing my dose 4 days ago. I don't think I'm dehydrated as I drink at least 2 litres of water a day, but I have obviously been eating less.

Ibuprofen isn't touching the headaches so is there anything else that you have found helps?

Does waiting 30 minutes after taking the pill really make that big of a difference? I've been on wegovy for 3 months now first month on 1.5 mg and the last 2 months have been 4 mg and I'm actually up a few pounds. No noticeable appetite suppression my stomach just feels upset and I'm constipated horribly.

In clinical trials, roughly 4.9% of oral Wegovy pill users reported neurological skin sensitivity like tingling, burning, or pins-and-needles. Luckily it’s just my forearm but when I changed to 4 mg this happened. I thought I had accidentally burned my arm over hot steam or something. Has this happened to anyone else?

Has anyone accidentally taken a drink of coffee soon after their pill (like within 10-15 minutes?) I just did that this morning and I’m curious what the day will be like. I know the pill absorbs a special way and that the instructions are clear to NOT drink or eat for at least 30 minutes. I am just curious if anyone has messed up like me and taken a sip of coffee too soon. Did you notice less effective appetite suppression that day?

Hi all,

I've been on Wegovy Pill since February 2026, starting with the base dose of 1.5 mg, and now at 25 mg for a couple of months. I have lost 48 lbs. However, I've been struggling lately with finding things to eat. My ultimate goal is to have a better diet and become more physically active. Mm

When taking Wegovy, I've started to desire less processed and traditionally healthier foods. I.e, I used to be able to unhinge my jaws like a boa constrictor and swallow a dozen chicken wings whole. Now my stomach turns when I look at a chicken wing. Or anything breaded, or anything oily. Great!

So Sunday night I made overnight oats (not the brand, just my own) with steel cut oats, pea protein powder, greek yogurt, almond milk, vanilla, cinnamon, chia seeds and top with blueberries. I had this at 830 am. I also ate an apple and a half a piece of pizza for dinner that night. By 7:30 pm, I had the worst cramping and gas I've ever felt (this is probably mild to moderate for others but I've never had GI issues). By 9 pm, the overnight oats exited my body from the North as they were originally ingested. Then the moisture came from the South as a typhoon.

Sorry that was a lot of info, but this also happens every time I eat seeds or nuts. I'm wondering if anyone else experiences this on wegovy with high fiber foods? Or maybe it's something else I haven't accounted for? This seems to be a trend where the fibrous foods don't digest and just sit in the gut til they evacuate somehow. Tyvm

I use CVS for my Wegovy and I was excited at the news that they lowered the price for appointments. I had my follow up for my refill a couple of days ago and was looking forward to the new lower price. But they charged me for a sick visit by mistake. Instead of a GLP1 follow up for $29 they charged me a sick visit for $89. Keep an eye on your credit card statements. I was on the phone over 45 minutes getting them to refund me the $60

I'm on the 25mg pill, been on it for about 6 or 7 months, and I'm having trouble eating 1300 calories a day. I'm thinking of starting a strength and conditioning routine next week. Will that help increase my appetite? I've lost 80 pounds in 6 months so far.

I recently moved to 9mg last week and don’t see much difference so far. I’m day this is what I eat

1. Coffee around 2 oz
2. Premier protein protein shake around 10am
3. Lunch at 12:30 with small bowl of sautéed veggie or pasta (as I wanna eat some carb) anyway lunch is not more than 1 med cup
4. Small cup of blueberry or apple at 4pm
5. Apple protein shake with whey protein chia seeds hemp seeds

That’s it. Is this lot of food? I’m eating 60g of protein small fruit bowl and some veggies for lunch
.
Pls comment and let me know how it works for you I’m open to reduce more , I’m eating these just because body needs some fiber fiber and veggies

This will be pretty much the same as the title ... I've never had acid reflux before and it's killing me. Anyone have the same side effect and if so, what helps?

Day 17 on 1.5 mg pill.

11.8 pounds down as of this morning.

39.3 pounds in one year total.

It’s very hard and the pill makes it easier to keep me focused. To tell my brain to stop thinking about food. To make me feel fuller. And much more alert to my hunger pangs, and only eating when they start.

The last six days has been only clean food. Nothing processed no junk, not even a bite of a cookie.

What’s the point of paying for something if you’re not going to use it correctly?

I tried 4mg a few months ago and had an absolutely miserable experience. I basically wanted to crawl into a hole and never come out. 😅

I’ve seen a lot of people recommend starting much lower, so I’m wondering for those of you who have gone from 4mg down to 1.5mg: How different was the experience for you? Were the side effects significantly better at the lower dose?

So, I’m on 4mg for 2 months and since it’s been a positive experience I don’t feel the need to move up to the 9mg. I’m still losing at a safe rate with no side effects. Is anyone else staying put on 4mg? My appointment for update is coming soon and I just don’t feel the need to move up.

Thoughts?

I’ve been on 4mg every other day and have stopped losing weight and I’m stuck again. I was prescribed 4mg every day. Has anyone done this and lost more weight taking it everyday?

I hate being nauseous and am terrified of throwing up. Additionally I already suffer from depression which is controlled with medication. I’d like an idea of people’s experiences with side effects. 🙏🏻🙏🏻
