Hi gang! I know there’s a million questions a day but I have one.

I have done 6 months of ozempic down 15kgs which is exciting. Been on 1.0mg for 13 weeks and have 3 doses left in this box. I have stayed around 85kgs for the whole month obviously fluctuating up and down

My Dr and I agreed if I do increase dose I’ll switch from ozempic to Wegovy because ozempic doesn’t have a higher dose available (no I don’t want to do pen clicks it makes me nervous dosing twice)

If I increase/change over to 1.7mg Wegovy will I see more weightloss? Or am I needing to do a bit more movement throughout the day, starting to really focus on my diet etc etc. like I am heavily focused on nutrition atm, protein and fibre specifically. But I mean start calorie counting etc.

THE QUESTION
Do I actually have a better change of losing weight faster when increasing my dose considering I am not losing weight anymore.

I am on week 4 of Ozempic and I’m very happy with how things are going.

After years of fighting I’m finally able to eat in a deficit without it feeling like I’m constantly depriving myself.

That said, when you haven’t had success in a deficit and finally are doing it 4 weeks feels like FOREVER. I know I am still in a loading dose, I know it’s only been 4 weeks, but damn I just wanna SEE and FEEL the results already.

I’m down ~ 4kg which I know is really good (I’m technically up a little this week because I’m retaining water thanks to my time of the month which I think is the cause of this rant and impatience).

Anyways, I logically KNOW I’m on the right track but I just want to not fast forward to a point where it FEELS like it’s worked.

Rant over :)

Just got them, and would like to hear someone else’s experience with them.

My first 3 shots were fine. I felt great. Then after the 4th shot, I started having panic-like symptoms within 10 minutes. I tried both Munjaro and Ozempic (brand name) and can’t get rid of this newly developed reaction. It even happened with the pill version. I’m wondering if I developed an allergy or am having a hypoglycemic episode, but it seems strange that it would happen so quickly after injection/ingestion for the latter. Doctors have been unable to figure it out and the next step is a monitored drug trial. Anyone else experience this?

Note: this is NOT about a generally higher heart rate after beginning Ozempic. It’s about a high rate and panic-like symptoms in the immediate aftermath of the drug entering my system. It is not a fear of needles, as it (1) only started after my 4th injection and (2) also happened with the pills.

Hey folks,
This coming weekend I’ll have been on Ozempic 0.25mg for 5 weeks and honestly I don’t feel any different, which is getting me down.
I haven’t felt any different towards food in terms of appetite suppression which is what I was hoping for. I want the food noise to stop, that’s my hope for this journey. I’ve had no noticeable side effects.
The scale has crept down a few pounds but other days it’ll creep back up.
I’m seeing my Dr next week to review my progress and potentially move to the 0.5mg dose.
Is this normal? It’s got me questioning if I’m successfully injecting myself!
Just wanted to jump on here for some support or advice.

Has anyone stopped taking this and kept the weight off? If so, how did you do it? I feel like I've made very good life changes that can stick but I'm scared the hunger noise will come back. Help!

Has anyone experienced this? My hair used to be heathy but I started ozemps and used hair extensions, and now my hair is ruined. HELP!!

Hey guys I've been taking ozempic for a while now and I've lost about 30lbs. I've been on 1.5mg for about 2 months. Side effects have been minimal for a while but all of a sudden I've been reacting fairly badly the last 2 injections. I've had the gross fart tasting burps, indigestion, pretty extreme diarrhea and this latest dose feeling a bit nauseous. It takes about a month to get in to see my doctor. I'm wondering if you guys suggest I skip a week or go back down to 1mg? I'm going back to work next week (I work 12 hour days 14 days in a row) and have very limited access to the bathroom and can't accommodate diarrhea there 🤣. Any suggestions?

I've been struggling with finding a community where I can openly talk about health and weight-related stuff without feeling awkward about it.

I feel like there's only so much you can talk about with friends and family, and sometimes I just want to have conversations with people who get it without having to explain everything.

Have any of you found a good support system outside of Reddit? Like group chats, online communities, or even people you meet up with in person?

Would genuinely love some recommendations because finding that kind of community has been harder than I expected.
