For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I started Wegovy .25 mg on March 5th. On day 1, I felt a little nausea and a little tired. Felt fine the rest of the week, appetite suppressed after a day or so. Continued to follow a healthy diet, exercised at least 5 days a week, and meal portions became smaller. I did not experience any other side effects aside from a little heartburn at night after the 2nd dose. By the 3rd dose, I started feeling somewhat constipated and noticed my watch was notifying me more frequently than usual that my heart rate was over 100 throughout the day and night. I take blood pressure medication, so I decided to call my doctor. She does want me to get blood work done and will be checking my thyroid. Also recommended I stop taking the med. I am a bit worried as I already feel the cravings are coming back. After I complete blood work, I will provide additional feedback regarding recommendations from my PCP. I have lost about 14 lbs., so it does work. I would give it a shot, everyone reacts differently."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "My experience so far is positive: 21 lbs down in 8 weeks. First, 4 weeks on .25 mg was great, no side effects. Weeks 5 and 6 were also good, slightly uncomfortable stomach but not bad, weeks 7 and 8, with 7 being not so bad. Then week 8, I had more stomach pain for a few days and didn’t have much of an appetite. Constipation is a real thing on this medication. Also, I am having a fast heart rate and seem to be a slight case of anxiety. Although I am experiencing some side effects, I am not giving up yet. I think for me, staying on a lower dose might be best. The .25 mg does work with fewer issues."
