Wegovy depression (rare thing?)

Hey guys has anyone else realised at some point that their wegovy has been amplifying feelings of depression, suicidal tendencies or anger? I have BPD and I’ve been taking wegovy since 2025. I didn’t realise why my demeanour had changed so much last year but now looking back I was arguing more, was more irritable, my sex drive lowered and I constantly was changing my appearance impulsively.

I took a break from it and then came back on it again this year. I’ve been on 1mg for 2 months and oh my goodness this is what made me clock it. Perhaps it’s because 1mg is stronger so I could feel the mood shift faster after injecting. I would be fine like days before then hours after my injection I would feel so low. Not even a tired low, like I hate myself and everyone low. As much as I’ve lost quite a lot of weight on it, I don’t think this is something I can handle. I even think I found myself moving a bit more impulsively and being a lot meaner on it. I’m going to stop taking it for good.

Has anyone else experienced this and has this made them stop completely?

Waste of a dose

I am such a plank.

I read the instructions twice. I was given a verbal walk through on the phone by the pharmacy. I watched 4 YouTube videos before administering my first dose.

Well I just sprayed it all over the bathroom. Those pens are sensitive.

Second dose is in me.

Question.... when should I order my next pen on the basis I am now a dose down?? I want to switch pharmacies to take advantage of new customer discounts too.

Thanks

😄

Newbie questions!

Good morning all 😊😊 im patiently (ok not so patiently) waiting for my jabs to arrive and I was wondering how you decided what diet plan to follow? (Cat pic for attention)

Anyone had experiance with a sudden plateu in weightloss?

Did just being persistant get you past it?

I've titrated up to 1.7mg and have been here for a while but appear to have hit a fairly solid plateu where i haven't lost any weight in about 4 weeks.

I think these images show pretty obviously where i started wegovy and weight loss has been pretty consistent since up until about 4 weeks ago where i hit 300-290lbs and it just stuck there.

My diet is fairly on point (not perfect but good enough) but its very difficult for me to exercise due to disability (which is how i got in this mess in the first place.) but I am doing what i can.

Any advice appreciated.

All measurements in lbs.

Weightloss since starting in december

Weight loss in the last 4 weeks.

Weight plateau

hey all - so I’ve taking my last dose of 0.25mg. I had a 2lb weight loss my first week 1lb the second week and 1lb the week after. So all in all I’ve lost 4lbs since starting. Is this normal? I am 30f so can understand hormones might affect the WL from time to time. I have definitely cut down eating and no longer binge drink. Did anyone notice a bigger difference when they went up to 0.5mg?

Does the anhedonia/emotional flatness/numbness actually ever go away?

I began taking wegovy at the beginning of February this year, and am moving up to 2.4mg next week.

I've been one of the lucky ones in that I began seeing weightloss pretty much immediately. I started off at 234lbs at 5'7", and as of this morning I'm now 210lbs. I don't even feel like I can get excited for it though because ever since about month 3 this sense of ​total emotional flattening has settled over me and I'm just.... nothing.

I used to get excited for my days off from work, but now I spend all of them laying around not doing anything. I'm hardly participating in any of my hobbies, ​so I'm not reading, or playing video games, or drawing, or gardening. I should be ecstatic about my weightloss, but instead I'm like "*okay, that's nice. Anyway, time to lay on the bed and do nothing*". ​

Does it ever actually pass, or am I going to be like this for the entire duration of the time I'm taking this medication?

Started at 471.9lbs… finally hit 399 today 💙

Highest weight: 471.9lbs 😭

Started Wegovy 29th Dec 2025 at 441.1lbs. Currently on 1.7mg.

Weighed today and officially hit 399.3lbs 😭💙

Still got a LONG way to go and surgery is still planned, but seeing a 3 at the front after being in the 470s feels insane honestly.

Weight loss hasn’t been perfect at all, loads of stalls and bad days, but trying to focus on the overall downward trend now instead of day to day numbers.

How many clicks to halve a 2.4mg pen?

​

Hi, sorry if this is a regular and boring question I'm putting out here.....

So I'm having bad side effects on my 2.4mg pen. Excess wind, nausea, constipation, heartburn, bad bloating, blurry vision, you name it.

I'm 3 weeks in and want to go back to 1mg. I'm going to order a 1mg pen next time as its not worth feeling so rough since the increase and no further weight loss anyway, just maintaining. 😒

So I had a random thought that I have one week left and I could halve this pen for my next dose tomorrow (Tuesday).

Only thing is, I'm not sure how many clicks I need to halve the 2.4 to say, 1.1mg. Can anybody please help me? 🙏

Maths was never a strength of mine anyway! 😅

Considering cutting time between doses to move up.

I’ve been on Weygovy since the start of March and have gone though the 0.25 and 0.5 and now on 1mg dose with absolutely no effect on me whatsoever. I am half way through the 1mg so have two doses left and a 1.7 pen sitting in the fridge waiting. I am so frustrated at the lack of any progress and I’m scared to check the scales because I feel like I am putting on weight rather than losing. I lost loads of weight on mounjaro previously but stopped due to price increases and being happy with where I was. I’ve put a lot of it back on now though. I want to move up to 1.7 to see if it kicks in so was wondering if I could just bring forward my next two doses of 1mg to say have a 5 day gap in between rather than a full week? Has anyone else experienced the same and thereafter had progress on moving to 1.7 or should I just bite the bullet and go back to Mounjaro? I’ll be gutted about all the time and money wasted on waygovy if I have to do that. Hopefully someone can reassure me that I will see progress if i stick with it.

Oviva 6 months - do they need a scale pic?

I'm nearly at my 6 month prescriber appointment and I'm about 3lb off the target weight. I didn't lose anything at the lower doses but when I got to 2.4mg it kicked in and I've been losing steadily since then.

Obviously I'd like to continue but I have a feeling from all the appointments so far that it's a box tick thing and there isn't any flexibility around individual circumstances (I'm disabled so basically "try going out for a walk at lunchtime" isn't helpful advice, no matter how many times they suggest it.

My question is, do they ask to see the scales when you get to six months? Or could I tell them I've lost their target and carry on?

Thanks everyone.

Counting clicks

I'm on 1.7 with Hemed, thinking about counting clicks to go back to 1mg, as I'm getting bad side effects. (My skin feels like it has sunburn).

Does anyone here use Shemed/Hemed and count clicks? Just wondering how long I can pause my next refill each time before they get antsy.

Would love to increase to the 2.4 pen, as it's the same price as 1.7 and would save me a fortune.

Should I just build up a stock instead?

Saving money on doses

I’m currently on 1.7mg , So my next dose up is 2.4mg which is £179 through my provider, but 7.2 is £239, Surely 7.2mg is the equivalent of 3x 2.4 pens?

2.4mg is £44 a dose. So I could get 12 doses out of the 7.2mg for £20 a dose if I count the clicks for a full dose and divide by three? Basically half price?

I’d have to get the 2.4 for my next dose because they won’t sell me the 7.2 yet but hopefully after one month they will sell me the next dose up again

TIA!

Sort of a weird question

I just started week 4. I ordered 0.25 again. My question is , on the higher doses, does it 100% kill hunger? I am getting hungry, but only when it should be time to eat anyway. I am wondering if should have went up a dose?

4.8mg will simple online accept it?

I wasn’t quite sure how to title this but last month I ordered 7.2mg so got three 2.4mg pens. I’ve been on 2.4 for a few months and hadn’t lost much since switching from Mounjaro in January. I’m on my second week where I took 4.8mg instead of going straight to 7.2mg and things seem to be moving again.

I’m thinking of just ordering 7.2mg every six weeks for now, instead of every four weeks but I’m worried that SOP will not like that. I can add in the extra notes bit of the questions they ask to say what I’m doing but I don’t want them to cut me off for using it differently to how it’s prescribed.

Thanks

Hello. In order to stop any referral code spam, we now have a place for you to share referrals!

"Blanket" feeling when it comes to hunger?

Hi folks! Just coming to the end of my first weekend on Wegovy and I've noticed what I can only describe as a "blanket" feeling when it comes to hunger? Like, I can feel that I should be hungry, but something is covering it up? Any similar experiences like this with anyone else, or is this how the medication works?

Anyone only see results 1.7mg+?

I've only lost 10lb so far, and last month actually gained 2lb on the 1mg dose. A bit disheartened as this is expensive. Started 1.7mg today, did anyone else only really start their whole journey at 1.7mg or 2.4mg?

Feeling confused 🫤

Hi guys,

So the first 3 weeks of my wegovy journey (on 0.25) I found the results super impressive, lost 12.6lbs but the 4th week it was like everything stopped working? Yesterday did my first 0.5 jab and I feel nothing, I’ve woken up hungry, fairly loud food noise, not feeling any different? I just wondered if anyone else experienced this? Thanks guys!

To be clear - this isn’t about not losing weight the last week, it’s about the hunger etc, the sudden loss of feeling any control!

Skipping Doses

I'm currently on 2 4mg of weygovy and over 40kg down from my starting weight. We're going on holiday soon and I'd really like to enjoy my meals whilst we're there. It seems you can safely miss a dose but I'm wondering if anyone has skipped two weeks back to back? I only and because when I had a cheeky week off at Christmas, my appetite was still very much suppressed. I don't want to go nuts, I just want to be able to manage more than one meal a day and it be a pleasure to eat rather than a chore.
