Weeks 1-4 on 0.25. Hunger diminished, exercising regularly, riding my bike daily. Week 5 I started .5 and that's where this story unfortunately will end. I cannot explain how sick I am. I've had a hiatal hernia which is dormant for 20 or more years, I take nexium daily. It's I describable how sick I've been. Vomiting, diarrhea, sulphur burps, queasy stomach, feels like a brick is on my ...

I started this journey with Wegovy late August this year. It's now just about 3.5 months later and I've lost 20LBs. Some times I get headaches and a wave of nausea but really just around when I take the shot. It passes quickly and the health benefits of having lost 20lbs so far exceeds the mild side effects. At 5"3" and in my 40s as nothing else has worked... The one impact is really not eating as much and believe me when I say I'm an eater so it's just been a bit of a mental adjustment not being able to eat as much at meal time.Read More Read Less

Been on Wegovy for 5 months. Lost 10 pounds. Nausea and diarrhea prevail. Disappointing.

I've been on WeGovy for two months. I've lost maybe 3 pounds. The side effects for me include constipation, heart burn and nausea.

This medication is the only one to work so far. I’ve lost 41lbs and I just started my first week on 2.4mg. It started slow on .25mg dowses, not always losing those weeks, but got better with the .5mg dose and the 1.0mg dose is where I really noticed the benefits. No cravings (as someone who craves a lot before). Most days I don’t have side effects. Occasionally, the day after the shot I would have some nausea and I’d just take an anti-nausea pill and feel better shortly after. I also some constipation, so I just have to be mindful of taking something for that when it happens. Read More Read Less

Wegovy is the only medication that worked wonders for my weight loss journey. I been taking Wegovy for 5 months and without exercise I have lost 32 lbs. It has helped curb my sweet tooth and my desire to make unhealthy food choices. When I eat sweets or sugary drinks I do get nauseated.

On my 5th week of 1.0 and have had great results, down 18lbs and fitting in shirts I haven’t been able to wear for years. Makes me feel a little blah first day after taking but I feel like I have so much more willpower and sometimes will make a meal that I just decide to skip altogether. Very happy.

I’m in my 5th month and I’m down 40 pounds. I’ve gone from a size 12 to a size 6. The medicine is doing it’s job. It’s extremely easy to use. I’ve been ahead of the curve and haven’t had any issues getting it. The downside are the side effects. Nausea has been my number one problem. Overall I’m extremely pleased.

This is my 6th week, currently on the .5mg dose after graduating successfully from the .25mg for 4 weeks. I've already lost a combined 15lbs in the 6wk period. I did experience severe nausea, vomiting and diarrhea for one whole day during the 6th week, which was honestly painful to experience, but that is the most common side effect as the body is getting used to it and telling your brain to stop eating profusely, otherwise you will throw up! The injection is painless as I take it on my thighs. I highly recommend it after consultation with your doctor. Read More Read Less

The nausea is debilitating. I was ok till I hit 3rd week at .50 but now I can barely get out of bed I’m so nauseas. Trying to work through it with doctor suggested remedies. They work somewhat but this is really hard. On the positive end…I have lost 25 lbs in 2 months.

It's definitely making me lose weight, but only because I can't stop vomiting and having diarrhea. I've dropped 22lbs, but I'm miserable and can barely function between trips to the bathroom.

I took my first injection on 11-22-21 5pm, other than mild heartburn my week was uneventful for side effects but with Thanksgiving my eating habits were not the best, I did however manage to lose 3.5lbs. I took my second yesterday at 5pm at about 10 pm I started having anxiety and weird painless muscle spasms all over and a wave of nausea but eventually i fell asleep and woke up fine. My bowel habits have been pretty normal but i take Magnesium 500mg at night. I eat but still feel hungry after despite eating a whole meal and being protein conscious. Its too soon to tell if its working I think bc I ate Thanksgiving dinner for days but back on track so we shall see. I have read that most ppl are having trouble with side effects but so far pretty minimal. Read More Read Less

HAIR LOSS. I started the highest level of Wegovy 10 days ago - 2.4 mg. I almost immediately developed a skin sensitivity on my back. Not itchy, no rash but just felt like I had a sunburn. Honestly, I thought it was the starch in the shirt I had on. It has remained for the past 10 days. A few days after that started, I noticed that I had no hair on my legs - none at all. None on my arms or underarms. Honestly, I cannot pinpoint the day I noticed this development, but it was definitely noticeable after I hit the highest dosage. I was freaked out - super concerned I would lose the hair on my head which at the moment, does not look any thinner. I just got back from a dermatologist this morning and brought all the prescriptions I take. When I pulled out the Wegovy box, he exclaimed, "that is so interesting. I got two calls from PCPs last week that said their patients on Wegovy had small bald spots on their scalp." He didn't know what dosage they were on. He said he is going to contact the manufacturer to report these reported side effects. He looked at my legs under a special magnifying glass. He said that the hair follicles were not scarred - the hair was visible but not above the surface. This would seem to indicate it will grow back. He looked at my scalp and said it was healthy so, not thinning at the moment. JUST A WARNING TO ALL. Read More Read Less

This is absolutely the best medication I have ever taken for weight loss. I have virtually no side effects other than loss of appetite. Typically I can't finish a plate of food. I eat some and then a switch sorta flips and I'm done. I've never had that sensation before and I have tried pretty much everting including gastric bypass. I have been on it since August and I've lost 26 pounds. Typically my weight stalls at about 15 lbs. I am eating a healthy diet, walking and drinking a lot of water. I feel wonderful. I am currently on 1.7 mg. I find the injections easy. My fear is what will happen when I quit taking it. Read More Read Less

I started on 2.4; 4 days ago and experienced vomiting nausea and abdominal pain. Today I have zero appetite incredible pain will most likely see a doctor today. I lost 10 lbs from water weight and not eating. Most of all I’m just disgusted and ashamed that I paid this much this stuff, the discounts are a joke

I am on my 3rd dose and have lost 11lbs—thrilled!! I noticed all the typical side effects right away but all were mild and manageable. Best thing this med has done for me is severely curbed my constant thought of food—for me almost a constant obsession…for me, controlling my eating is much easier when the place in my brain that causes me to obsess over it is regulated. Hunger severely diminished and fel full very quickly after eating small amounts and notice nausea if I overeat or eat too much sugar..if this med continues to work for me it will be a godsend. Have not exercised much since starting but planning to up my game this coming week.Read More Read Less

I have been on wegovy for 3 months going on my fourth month. I have lost 6 pounds. Very discouraging. This week I'm starting on 1.70. I'm so sick. I'm nauseated, vomiting. Don't feel good. Just blah. I had some how ended up with extra .25 so after a week I added that to my 1 mg. I cut my intake of food to more than 1/2. I don't understand. The weight should be melting off. Am I not eating enough?? I don't crave sweets anymore which is a bonus! I don't snack or munch on junk food. Wish I had answers.Read More Read Less
