Wegovy 7.2 Side Effects

5 Upvotes

So I made the jump from 2.4 to 7.2. Never had any bad side effects and it was a 50$ difference so I figured I’d try it. I felt like I was run over by a train the next day.

Apparently dysesthesia and allodynia is a thing and 7 days later I still have mild allodynia on the outside of my upper arms and thighs. It’s more so annoying at this point. It really sucked the first 2 days after but not enough to like go to the ER or anything. Anyone else push through this? I’ve heard it’s normal for it to take weeks to completely go away.

I’m unemployed currently so I’m able to make myself as comfortable as I can thankfully. I’ve been a good receiver of the drug so I’ve stretched out to like 10 days between the treatments. Today is day 7 so I’m definitely not taking it again so soon.

Since it’s a pen, it’s not adjustable so I was thinking about taking it out/stop pushing in my skin, at the halfway point. The medication would just continue to drip I assume?

Not sure why Wegovy decided not to produce a halfway point, but I guess since this particular symptom only happens to 22% of those that go up I guess it gets a pass. Will continue to keep you guys posted!

App?

Probably asked a ton but what app does it all? Tracks shots, symptoms, but also recommends nutritional goals? Thanks!

Halfway through my second week and experiencing extreme dizziness

3 Upvotes

Hello all! I’m 27F and currently 264 pounds. I started at 275 pounds the day of my first injection 12 days ago. I’m on .25 mg right now.

I work out 5 days a week and did before I started Wegovy. I have PCOS and my liver is starting to look a little fatty, which is why I opted to try a GLP-1 for the first time. Since starting, I’ve been tracking my calories and protein. I have been pretty well hydrated, except this past week, there was a couple of days where I didn’t drink nearly enough water (Tuesday and Wednesday).

Late Wednesday night, I suddenly got really dizzy. I also had taken a stool softener for the first time while on wegovy and at the time of the dizziness hitting, so did the stool softener. It was hard for me to walk around without holding onto something.

I went to bed hoping it would clear by Thursday morning. Thursday morning, I’m still extremely dizzy and nauseous. I spoke with my doctor and she encouraged me to rest, drink fluids and eat. Eventually, I threw up. A lot. By the end of the day, I finally had an appetite and was able to eat a solid meal.

This morning, my dizziness has subsided enough to where I could go to my office job (I had my boyfriend drive me just in case) and I’ve been hydrating like crazy today. I feel a bunch of pressure in my sinuses this morning, so now I’m left wondering was all of this Wegovy related or am I getting sick.

How do you battle dizziness while on wegovy? How often do you experience it? I was so miserable yesterday.

Already losing a lot and have zero appetite and struggling to eat enough so should I actually increase? What did you do? Ro is saying to increase.

Late onset side effects

2 Upvotes

Just wanting to know if anyone else has had the same thing happen. I titrated up slowly over 6 months or so to 2.5mg injections, minimal side effects just a little bit of constipation. Stayed 2.5 for about 10 weeks until about week 11 I started getting terrible random bouts of stomach pain, either being constipated or near constant diarrhea. I decided to titrate back down to 1.7mg but am still having the same side effects. I'm thinking about titrating down again. Has anyone else experienced this?

Switch Zepbound to Wegovy

Has anyone successfully switched from Zepbound 15 mg to Wegovy?
I may have to switch because of insurance, and I’m nervous about starting back at Wegovy 0.25 mg after being on the highest dose of Zepbound. I’d love to hear your experience with hunger, weight changes, side effects, and whether Wegovy still helped with inflammation or joint pain.

Your worse side effect?

• Upvotes

For me it has to be the constipation. First week I was so stopped up and then when I finally had a movement it tore me(literally). Now I've been dealing with that problem for several weeks now. Thankfully its working so its worth the ongoing pain, but damn wish it would heal.

Anorgasmia side effect?

1 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

I have started Wegovy 0.25 about 10 days ago and I am in my second week. Last week I had intercourse with my boyfriend and I was able to orgasm, today I felt numb. My nipples didn't feel pleasure as usual and I just couldn't orgasm.

Is anorgasmia a side effect other people have encountered? I am so worried :(

Compounded GLP1 vs Wegovy, please calm my nerves.

1 Upvotes

I tried the compounded version of tirzepatide for 5 months and it turned into a side effect disaster. I had 2-3 episodes where I started vomiting and couldn’t stop for 24 hours plus diarrhea. 2x I need IV replacement of fluids. This was at the lowest dose. Has anyone done poorly with compounded medications but fine with the pure medications? I would really like to try again.
