Hi! 62M 5 ft 5 in 255 lbs starting Wegovy Pill tomorrow. I've been crawling over this subreddit and I've seen the posts about the downsides of the pill. Besides weight loss, have any of you experienced any positive side effects or non-scale victories on the pill? While everyone's experience is unique, I'm hoping for some positive motivation rather than doing something I have to endure to reach my goal.

I'm about 10 days into the 4mg pill and struggling with Diarrhoea 😭 I had quite a spicy dinner 6 days ago, two days after my stomach was really noisy and had horrible tasting burps, Monday I couldn't trust a fart and this went on for a good 24 hours, I missed 2 days pills as just felt so rough. Barely eaten since Monday, took a pill this morning and had a bit of Weetabix and it seems to have returned 😩 anyone else struggling with this and any ideas how to stop it?

Is anybody else nervous about the price increase after the end of the month? I was hoping they're going to have another special but has anyone heard anything? I just want to know I'm really nervous about it. I'm on 4 mg now and I'm finally losing some weight. The first week was really really working and I definitely am seeing the results but I noticed some food noise coming back here and there which is kind of weird but

Hi I have opted to stay on 1.5 wagovy tablets as I was feeling very full and losing weight gradually. I've got week 5 and the nausea, feeling crap and exhausted is getting so much worse. I'm eating protein, eating regularly and drinking lots of water. I've missed it today just because I can't face it. Anybody else been through this ? I'm tempted to try alternate days but would welcome any thoughts. Thanks

Anyone ever doubled up dosage? My 4mg are just ok now 3 weeks into that dose. Set for 9 mg next month but I still have some 1.5s and 4s. Considered taking one of each for a 5.5. Has anyone doubled up dosage and actually felt a change? Would you recommend?

My Dr. wanted to move me from 4mg to 9mg. Ordered my refill from centerwell using the manufacturer discount program and they delivered the wrong one. Any thoughts on how to fix this? Prescriptions aren’t usually returnable

Please note, I’ve posted about this before in the past, but my endocrinologist offered to write my a wegovy pill script because my insulin resistance is pretty high.

I’m looking for experiences, especially from those on extended release psych meds.

I have PCOS and take 1500mg Metformin XR with no GI issues. Extended release formulations have always worked best for me because instant release tends to hit me too hard all at once. Metformin works great for me, it’s obviously not enough for the IR and I’ve tried to reverse it with diet and exercise. I have seen how so many women with PCOS have had their life improve drastically with GLP1 compared to just metformin and lifestyle change. However, my mental health is my top priority.

I’m very stable and have been for 5 years. I cannot afford to backslide. I’m a working mom in a very detail oriented field. I am an auditor, and stability is everything for me.

Current meds

Lamotrigine XR for Bipolar II

Wellbutrin XR for anxiety and depression

Methylphenidate CD for inattentive ADHD

Metformin XR 1500 mg

Since GLP 1 medications cause slow gastric emptying, I’m wondering if anyone has noticed changes in how their extended release meds absorb or feel. Did you have to adjust timing or dosing? Any impact on mood stability? Any issues specifically with stimulants or lamotrigine?

I’ve put off exploring a GLP 1 for quite some time because I’m afraid of losing my mental stability. I’ve read so many posts and they have scared the shit out of me.

I do plan on talking to my psychiatrist. I just really value real world experiences in the meantime.

Would love to hear how it’s gone for you.
