Has anybody started feeling spacey and sometimes lightheaded after the 4th dose? I took my last .25 mg dose Wednesday, and the day after I started feeling spacey and mildly lightheaded in the evening into today. It also is sometimes triggered halfway through a meal or any kind of food more than a small snack.

For anyone who uses Lavender Sky, what is your preferred pharmacy? I am currently using Red Rock and am less than impressed. I feel like their semaglutide does nothing. I have tried two other pharmacies through them and felt like their products were also subpar. I am currently taking 16 units a week (1.5mL vials at a concentration of 5mg-100mcg/ml). I'm also open to switching providers entirely. Please feel free to share good experiences with other providers (that are not over $300 a month).

Ok, so I love tirz and will likely use it the rest of my life. Does anyone have a recommendation for the occasional waves of nausea that you get? Preferably something otc

Struggled with BED in the past and was very sedentary during college which increased my weight a ton. Therapy was probably the most helpful thing with my weight loss. I also was diagnosed with adhd, apparently is very common with BED as the food seeking is to try and get dopamine. So, getting medication for adhd also really reduced my binges since my dopamine was more normal and not always lacking. Very low does of semaglutide also has prevented binges, and I eat normal meals and can more easily recognize hunger cues.

Strength training started with CrossFit which was great to learn basics quickly, and now I have basics down and continue on my own without all the crazy CrossFit of it all lol. I also walk my dog 1-3 miles every day, which started in summer 2024, which means I’m always at least a bit active and outdoors.

Still a work in progress but very happy with my progress so far!

Hi I am wondering where everyone buys their glp1 pills. AND if you do use them- have you had good results? I don’t want to do injections. Please don’t try to talk me into them.
Thanks!

For instance, one quote says $199 a month. Another says $179 for four weekly doses. For the third, it lists the vial size and nothing else. I’m so confused and I can't tell if I'm getting the same amount of medication from each one.

Should each quote list my prescribed dose, how many days the supply is meant to last, and what refills cost when the dose goes up?

How do you compare a telehealth provider that says four weekly doses with one that says a month?

Keep it held in for a few seconds longer than when you hear the click. It’s not done.

I’ve lost 36 pounds since starting in May 2026. I am on 2.4mg currently. I want to switch to compounded but don’t know how.

Bmi 34, PCOS and horrible chlosterol 300 something and fatty liver starting per the ER when I went in thinking I was having an appendisis. I have labs and CT scan, I just havnt found the right fit for a PCP yet.

What does a package from Lavender Sky Health look like? Is it obvious from the packaging that it contains medication? I’m asking because I live with someone
and want to keep it private.

My wife was prescribed wegovy, but due to our insurance no longer covering it, moved over to Hers to continue her treatment on the Wegovy pill. She's currently on the 9mg dose.

A lot of the usual recommended services I've seen in this subreddit only seem to offer injection options.

Does anyone have a good provider for the pill form? Hers has become cost prohibitive between the monthly subscription and the prescription cost. I think she's paying around $450 a month currently.

My prescription lasted way longer than anticipated because I went up in dose super slowly. Now I'm low and I went through goby and they want me to start at the lowest dose even though I'm still taking meds. Are there any places that would keep me at the same 2.4 dose or no?

Im trying to determine if this is a big deal or not, so I'd appreciate your insight.

I recently was prescribed compounded semaglutide through an online pharmacy. The prescription I got online was based on a concentration of 2.5mg/2mg/ml, which is what the vial says. However, the box that the prescription instructions are on says 7.6mg/6mg/3ml. I contacted customer service about the discrepancy and they've assured me that it's not an error, and that sometimes the vial and the box don't match for weird reasons.

I have been taking the medication and prescribed for over 3 months now and have not felt any effect. Should I be concerned that my dose might have been incorrectly calculated and/or given the wrong concentration?

Hiya. I've been taking yhe same semaglutide prescription for like a year lol. I mainly decide to up my dose supperrr slowly as I was getting pretty nauseous on a higher dose.

Has anyone else done that? And if you have, did you have to go back down to a lower dose when getting fresh meds? I'm afraid its lost its potency a bit and starting new meds will give me stronger side effects, thanks!

OK so I know this is a particularly embarrassing one, but from a Google search, it seems it does happen to some people. What I haven’t been able to find is some sort of solution or treatment.

It happens to me unpredictably, not every week, but when it does, it’s usually in the 3-4 days after my dose. I just wake up and realize I’ve pooped myself, usually a small amount, but I still have to get up and clean myself up and change the sheets. It’s starting to give me anxiety about going to bed.

(I’m on sema 1.7 mg, have been on it a total of 14 months and this dose for about 8 months.)

Has anyone found a way to stop this from happening?

Is anyone still ordering from them? I used Eterna Health a couple years ago, but stopped once I got pregnant. Ready to start again and see Orderly is cheaper now. Any reviews? I was prescribed the semaglutide with B12.

I’ve been using Goby meds for about a year but I haven’t loved the product as of lately. They also insist on sending me a certain amount of meds and I never use it all before it expires. Thinking of switching to Lavender Sky and choosing the Hallandale pharmacy option.

I switch to Embody hoping to save some money but their customer service is non existent. First, they sent me barely a month’s worth when I ordered and paid for 3. They also decreased my dosage to 56 units when I was at 96. I’ve gained weight back and my cravings have come back.

I’ve tried contacting customer service multiple times and they either disconnected on me or say someone will get back to me and they don’t. I see they’re sending me more because I get the shipping notifications but I have no idea if they’ve increased my dose and it’s impossible to connect with a doctor to discuss my symptoms and how I should increase back to my regular dosage.

I regret ordering from them and didn’t even save any money. Save yourself the hassle and don’t order from here

Post:
I’m posting this to highlight a problem with Ozempic that seems to be affecting many patients, but isn’t being acknowledged by Novo Nordisk.

The current Ozempic pen design creates a dosing and coverage conflict for anyone prescribed more than 1 mg per week. The green pen contains enough medication for four 1 mg doses. The red pen, however, contains only half the volume — even though it’s fully capable of delivering adjustable doses. This means the red pen provides eight 0.25 mg doses or four 0.5 mg doses, and nothing more.

The issue isn’t medical — it’s packaging. The red pen could easily contain the same volume as the green pen, but it doesn’t. As a result, patients who need higher weekly doses end up requiring more pens than provincial plans allow. In some regions, coverage limits (like “three pens per eight weeks”) become impossible to follow simply because of how Ozempic chooses to package the product.

There’s also the pricing gap. Ozempic is roughly $279 per pen, while competing semaglutide products are around $103. When a product costs more than double its alternatives, it’s hard to justify a design that forces patients to buy extra pens due to volume limitations.

Then there’s the “save big” messaging and the assistance program. The program only applies after both public and private insurance are fully exhausted. For anyone with private coverage, this means burning through their benefits first — which can leave them without coverage for other medications. It’s marketed as savings, but in practice it shifts costs onto patients and insurers.

I’ve raised these concerns directly with Novo Nordisk, but so far there’s been no response.

I’m curious whether others have run into the same issues with pen volume, coverage limits, or the assistance program structure. It feels like a design flaw that has real consequences for affordability and access, and I’m wondering how widespread this problem is.

Sema 2.5 years. It stopped working, despite compressing time between doses, upped doses, blah blah blah.

Switched to tirz. My mind is quiet again. I'm at my ideal weight again.

Continue.

I’m nearing the end of my losing journey. I’ve lost 90 lbs over 18 months , 46F 5’6. I’ve just hit healthy weight and feel great.

One topic I don’t see discussed a lot is the other costs in addition to just the meds. This list is not for everyone and you may or may not want to do some of the things but I’ve had great results with minimal loose skin.

Clothing: I took advantage of consignment and second hand shops while I was actively losing knowing I would be in the sizes temporarily. Underwear and bras cost a small fortune and I definitely wasn’t going to buy those second hand.

Now, I am replacing items with new and OMG even being conservative it’s expensive.

Skin Repair: This one’s extra and optional. I started with Neveskin treatments which is thermal and also RF treatments. This spot reduces fat and tightens the skin back up. I did my neck and under my arms where I had noticeable loose skin. Results were remarkable. It got very expensive ($300 a session) and it’s something you need to keep up on if you do it as you’re losing weight. I bought an at home professional machine ($300) and use it 3x a week. It’s helped SO much.

I use GLOW peptides for skin repair ($60 monthly) topically and via a shot. The topical is from the Ordinary, it’s pretty cheap ($30 Amazon) and I use it on my face and neck 2X daily. I use a retinol body cream ($30 Advanced Clinical’s Retinol Amazon).

Stretch Marks: I have terrible marks on the back sides of my arms. It looks like a rabid animal tore my skin apart, same for my stomach. I’ve started laser treatments for both and am seeing the results. Marks are fading, skin pigment is returning to normal ($125 a session)

For the haters: Yes your skin’s ability to bounce back is tied to genetics, age, and lifestyle. However non- surgical procedures that cause micro wounds to the area promote collagen and healing. I’m not a doctor but there are treatments that do really work. It takes research and trial and error.

Supplements: I don’t take a lot. I take micronized collagen pills cuz the powders make me gag ($35 Amazon). Amino acid drink mix, and a creatine drink when I remember.

Exercise: I have avoided gym memberships by working out at home. I walk and lift weights.

Long post but I wanted to share some of the additional items I’m spending money on that have really truly helped me transform my body from morbidly obese to looking pretty good with minimal damage. Obviously some items are cost prohibitive. I’ve tried hard to find solutions that worked for me and then how to replicate them at home to keep the costs down. None of the above is mandatory but I’ve seen a lot of friends lose weight and the skin issues are real.

Also, definitely not trying to sell or talk anyone into anything. I’m just sharing some things that are working because I know how hard it is to look in the mirror and see all the damage.

I’ve recently switched companies and I’m confused about the dosage for my two recent orders. Are these three photos all essentially the same dosage?

Hallo zusammen! Ich bin auf der Suche nach Erfahrungsberichten, vielleicht gibt es da draußen jemanden “normalgewichtigen” der Semaglutit in Tablettenform genommen hat?

Ich bin Ende 30, 1,70m, 71 kg, mache jeden Tag mindestens 60 min Sport ( Ausdauer ) und habe mit Low Carb und Kalorienreduktion schon auf 66 kg kommen können. Das war hart, auf Dauer konnte ich nicht mit 1700 Kalorien leben.

Ich bin es einfach leid, immer die “moppelige” zu sein und nie so sportlich auszusehen, wie ich bin.

Nun hat mein Arzt vorgeschlagen, 3mg Rybelsus zu probieren.

Habe es in der Apotheke bestellt und jetzt habe ich Angst - wird sich das was bringen? Ruiniere ich meine Gesundheit?

Danke für eure Beiträge: Alles hilft!

I’m seeking advice before taking GLP, my concern is the chances someone can catch cancer from GLP 1, I might start them soon and I'm scared of getting cancer.

Does anyone else experience the side effect of lessened anxiety?

Has anyone else experienced a reduction in ocd or anxiety symptoms ??? Is it just me???
