I’m on 1.5 mg. Day 2. Took my tablet. Ate my breakfast about 1.5 hours later, about 5 minutes after a breakfast of sausage patty and toast with a small peach, I had dizziness and then nausea. Vomitted and had dizziness for the better part of 2 hours. Anybody else had these experiences? I reached out to my doctor; moving to the injection.

Has anyone else experienced this? 1.5 didn’t really do anything. The scale started to move a bit with the 4mg and I finally lost 5 pounds, so I decided to do another month on the 4mg. I didn’t loose anymore weight the second month on 4mg, so I went up to the 9mg. I’ve been on 9 for two weeks and the scale has actually gone UP a little bit! And no, my inches aren’t moving because all my jeans are still tight. I’m feeling really discouraged… just wondering if anyone had this same experience? Is it short-lived? Is my body just adjusting to the higher dose? I have definitely noticed fewer and more solid BM’s. Thanks!

I will be picking up my initial dose of Wegovy tomorrow - I decided I was going to wait until I am off for the summer before taking the meds. In the meantime, what should I be stock piling to be ready. For full disclosure - just waiting til the summer in case I have bad side effects.

Has anyone skipped a day because they had something big happening and don't want to feel like crap all day? I've only been taking the pill since Saturday and I've been feeling extreme lethargy, which I know can be common and I'm definitely working on getting in my protein. But as you all know, that can be hard. I'm going to lunch with all of my kids, most who are in college and I don't get to see them all at the same time very much these days. This is basically my Mother's Day. If I skip my pill that day, will I feel better that day? I honestly don't care if it sidetracks the weightloss because having a great day with them is more important.

Hi all.
I’m on the 1.5, have been for about six weeks. I left my bottle of meds behind this past weekend and haven’t taken the pill in two days. I’m due to stay on it for another two weeks, then go up to four. Should I just go up to the four now? Or will the jump be too much having missed a couple doses? Any experience? Paying out of pocket

Has anyone else had non scale positive side effects? I read that GLP1s can help with addictions like alcohol. Didn’t realize it would cut my spending habit too.

I am 5’9” SW 190lbs, CW 167lbs, GW 140lbs ish

I’ve been on the wegovy pill for 3.5 months. I did 1.5mg, 4mg, 4mg, and halfway through the 9mg. I’m down 23lbs, yay.

I was heehawing around about the cost at first, but a HUGE non scale positive side effect I’ve had is that I no longer go shopping for fun. Clothing / accessory / makeup shopping has completely lost its luster for me.

I’m fine financially so I never really thought of it as an issue. But now that I stopped, OMG! It more than pays for the wegovy.

I still buy stuff, I needed smaller shorts and got some. But the browsing, adding to cart, trying on, deal hunting in person, etc etc just doesn’t hit the way it used to. Seems like a lot of work now LOL. I just don’t have interest in it.

I order a lot less when I get out to eat, too. I’m doing that less these days as well.

I’m on day 13 and am struggling with the side effects. I’m really wondering if I need to tap out and see about trying a different GLP1. I’ve been following all the advice about water, electrolytes, eat small protein focused meals, eat slow, etc. Pretty much every day on this medicine, I am either fatigued, nauseous, have a headache, bloated or all four. It’s been disruptive to my work. My caloric intake is down but not so far down that I’d expect to feel this crappy. And I’ve felt worse in week 2 than week 1. I’m not sure what to do, since I don’t want to throw this effort away. I keep thinking the next day I will feel more normal and it just doesn’t happen. Should I stick it out longer and see if these side effects subside?

I just increased my dose to 4mg and feel super nauseous. I didn’t have side effects on the 1.5mg like this so I’m wondering if I can cut the 4mg pills in half so I’m essentially taking 2mg a day. Anyone else tried this? I’ve paid for the full month of 4mg so would rather they not go to waste. Thanks!

Hey Reddit,

I had bad IBS a few years back and it eventually regulated with Nortipilyne.

I started Wegovy pill about four months ago and had no issues at 3 mg and 6mg (month two). Issues started once I went on month 3 (9mg). Things flared up badly at the 9mg mark, and I started to have real bad IBS Issues

I stopped the pill cold turkey 3 weeks as I thought that would help to get rid of the IBS symptons.

Is this normal with Wegovy Pill? Any recommendations to get out of this IBS hell? Should I switch to Wegovy or just not consider GLPs? I appreate everyones help.

I only lost 10 pounds :(

I have to wait to finish the flagyl before I start the pill. I plan on taking one capful of MiraLAX daily. I am very worried because I’m a teacher and can‘t drink a lot of water or use the bathroom often. thankfully we are at the end of the school year, which will make it easier. I have 40 pounds to lose. im also worrying about the SIBO because I have bacteria in my intestines where it shouldn’t be and fecal overload in the colon. I go daily, but I’m worried about the slow down. has anyone else dealt with SIBO and side effects? also, what should I expect the first few days? I’m a heavy lifter at the gym five days a week, but I really struggle with water intake.

I’m gonna TLDR this, but I was taking the small 1.5 dose and it was working well without side effects so I didn’t want to go up to 4. The thing is *i* fell off myself, stopped taking the pill and holding myself accountable and stopped exercising. So now I have 2 bottles of 1.5 and before I sign back up and ask for a higher dose and do the program right, I don’t really want to do two months of 1.5.

Do you think it’s fine if I take the 1.5 for a week to get my body adjusted, then double up to be 3mg for 4 weeks then I’ll go up to 4mg as it’s mentioned and slowly tirate up?

Doctors are always going to err on the safe side and say no but I paid a lot of money for these bottles for them to go to waste.

Really just wondering if anyone else doubled up on any of the pills or also if the extra costing from the pill is bad or something

Thanks

Started the 1.5 dose yesterday morning and felt a little strange but nothing unreasonable. Took it today and basically couldn't eat any breakfast. I had a little bread and got incredible nauseous and ended up vomiting a bunch. Now I'm just laying down, it's hard to do much. Is this normal? I'm worried as I keep taking more this week it'll get worse and I'm already throwing up. Will it get better over the next few days or am I in for pain if I'm already feeling like this on the second day? I can't imagine higher dosages.

I recently moved to the USA and have gained 30 lbs over the past couple of years (currently 207 lbs). The weight gain has really affected my confidence and mental health, and I also have PCOS. I’m planning to start strength training and lifestyle changes, and I’m looking into Wegovy/GLP-1 medications (pills) to support my weight loss journey.
I’m new to the US healthcare system and have my first primary care appointment next month.
Should I bring up Wegovy directly with my PCP?
Can PCPs prescribe it or do they usually refer you to a specialist?
Should I check insurance coverage before or after getting a prescription?
Would appreciate any advice from others who’ve gone through this process. Thank you!

I’m starting 1.5mg this weekend. I have really bad medication anxiety about new meds. Please share with me every side effect you experience/d. Even if you think it might not be related. I’m scared but so excited!

I’m on Wegovy 1.5 for a week now with no real noticeable changes, in fact I gained 2 pounds.. Only difference I noticed so far is my sleep is better.. I still can eat, I don’t feel very full or anything after eating.. No side effects or anything.. Anyone else have a similar experience?

Wegovy 1.5 mg oral pill for 5 days & am starting to breakout /: Anyone else experience this ?

I was going to the bathroom and vomiting for 5 hours last evening and night. I suspect my dinner was too heavy and rich. Queso brats and veggies. I had a mammogram appointment earlier this morning and to be safe I didn’t take a pill. If you have skipped your daily pill, did have any as affect on appetite or anything?
