For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "OK, I gained over 40 pounds due to injuries, then COVID. I started at 257 lbs, today I'm at 237, and I'm on the second month of 0.5 ml injection. The side effects are a pure nightmare! But as I got to 0.5 ml, they taper off. I carry Tylenol for the headaches, and my gastroenterologist prescribed Carafate for indigestion, Pepto-Bismol works too. If you can hang in there for the first 2 months, you'll be good."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I need to lose weight. I have lost 25 pounds in three months with this medication. Worst side effects I have experienced are occasional headache, constant tiredness, and I am cold in the afternoons. I’m on the 1.7 mg starting today."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I began using Wegovy injectable semaglutide exactly 8 weeks ago today and have had very few symptoms, until the 7 1/2 week mark. At first, my nose ran continually, but that was somewhat manageable with Robitussin (recommended by the pharmacist) for the cough it caused. At dinnertime, at the 7 1/2 week mark, fatigue hit very hard. We were on a trip, and I could barely walk to get back to the hotel and fall in bed. This continued for 48 hours with no desire for food or drink, except ice water. I slept for 5 or 6 hours and awoke with a headache, which lasted the rest of the night. Strange because I do not get headaches. Thankfully, we were headed home at that point, and I slept in the car most of the day for two days. I am much improved and can function somewhat, but not back to normal yet. I am due to double my dose today, but the medication not available for a while due to high demand. Easy to use and have lost 10 lbs in 8 weeks."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "This is my second week on Wegovy. During the first week, I felt fine, but this week, I am experiencing extreme fatigue, tachycardia, headache, and craving sweets. I find myself not eating anything other than meat and no sides. I think I might be done with it. I don't like feeling like this. It's just the second week, and I can't imagine what the third week would feel like."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "5'8" F started at 241 lbs. The doctor had me on phentermine (half dose) while waiting for Wegovy to go through insurance prior to authorization. Went down to 219 lbs on the phentermine in 11 weeks, then discontinued that to start Wegovy 0.25 mg. I just took my second injection, so I can describe my first week and shot experience. I had a mild headache for the first 24 hours after my first injection. Not bad enough to need an aspirin or anything, and I think I was overanalyzing my body looking for side effects. After the first injection, I thought I had a metallic taste in my mouth, and now that I just took a second, I can confirm it. Lasted for 12 hours the first time. I also am one of the rare people that taste metal after vaccines if that matters. I was extremely worried about the injection process itself. I'm glad I watched some YouTube videos and knew what to do. It was easy, and I didn't feel the needle. No cravings - I just have to space out my meals, or my stomach feels uncomfortable. Down another 3 lbs. Go Wegovy Wednesdays!"

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I am just 10 days in having been prescribed it in the NHS via Oviva. The run-in to receiving the meds has been really useful. I think success is dependent on coaching and mindset and lots of hints and tips via their app on how to get your balance of carbs, protein, and veg right. So far, minimal side effects at 0.25mg just a bit of nausea and headaches. First week, 4lb loss, which I am really pleased with. This is a two-year journey for me, so slow and steady is key I think."
