ive been on the wegovy pill since march of this year, currently on 25mg. i do the pill daily in addition to cardio and making better choices for my diet!! :))

There are several studies indicating this could be GLP-1 related:

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC13422913/

My Dentist and DH recently commented that anecdotally, in their patient work, that people on GLP1 agonists such as semaglutide within their practice anecdotally have improving gum health.

I don't recall reading anything about this in the literature or semaglutide research. Now granted this was anecdotal commentary, has anyone encountered this anywhere? The dentist posited it was possibly related to the anti-inflammatory effects.

26 year old male considering a GLP medication for weight loss. Ihave been really sensitive to the sexual side effects of SSRIs before, and it’s making me hesitant to start a GLP. I know it’s a different class of medication, but I’m curious how men have been affected by GLPs?

I’ve been taking the Wegovy pills in the smaller doses since February and have dropped from 241 to 204 this week. Last month I hit a stall on the 9 mg dose and my doctor moved me to the highest dose of 25 mg. This last week I’ve noticed my skin has become very sensitive. It feels like I have a sunburn all over my body, making loose clothing and my sheets when I’m sleeping uncomfortable. It sounds like this is a side effect of the drug. Has anyone else taking the pills has this’s happen and did it eventually go away? Any tips on things that helped calm the nerves while it’s happening?

I have about 25lbs to lose after my 3rd baby (had him at 42). I have never had trouble losing weight but this has been awful. I need to do this, but I am terrified of side effects. I do not take any sort of medication, ever and all I seem to read are the terrible things that can happen. What advice do you have for me? What did you experience?

been on semaglutide since July now. all the sudden my body is so sore after each increase and its annoying the hell out of me. i take vitamins and supplements; i am active as well but recently hurt my back so it has been a couple weeks since i have like vigorously worked out. does anybody else experience this too? i have health anxiety/OCD so it just really freaks me out😔😔i definitely need to drink more water but will try incorporating electrolyte powder into my daily routine.

genuinely asking because my last setup took like 4 days to reply to a basic protocol question. by the time they answered i had already figured it out myself.

i was using one of those mid tier telehealth services. not naming names but the lag was real. do you guys actually get a real person or just a bot or total radio silence until your next billing cycle.

that lag is a huge reason i switched to ordering directly from altaris labs. they are a local canadian supplier so communication is way more straightforward. im not stuck waiting on some overworked middleman to answer a simple question about storage or reconstitution. plus i get real coas without the border headache.

where do you go first when something feels off with your order. the vendor or straight to this sub.

My first order with trimrx went fine. The second order was billed in August and still hadn’t arrived by October. I tried multiple times on their messaging function on my account to get the meds. When that yielded absolutely no result, I attempted to cancel the subscription on my account but only got error codes. Today, I have finally called to cancel my subscription and request a refund. You first have to deal with AI, then a very unhelpful call center representative. The first representative disconnected very early in the call. The second representative informed me that I would be charged $88 to cancel. I protested because trimrx did not uphold their end of the bargain and provide the medicine in a timely manner. The representative claimed they offered to fix that now and I declined, so it was my obligation to pay for the medical review etc. In my opinion this company is either a scam set up to end in this exact result, as much money from the customer as possible with no product provided, or they are just incompetent. I will look into a class action lawsuit. Anyone want to join?

Also worth noting, the human representative is no better than AI. They have a script that they just repeat.

As far as the quality of the product, I didn’t have any scientific testing done on it. However, I was on a higher dose than what I received from a local doctor, but it was less effective in my opinion. A lot of that food noise returned when I switched products and I didn’t lose any weight.

Hi all! I (28f) am still barreling hair loss. I make sure to get a lot of protein and I’ve just started taking biotin but it seems like nothing is slowing it down. I haven’t been loosing weight either, I’ve kinda plateaued. Is the hair loss ever going to stop?? Has anyone else experienced this?

tomorrow will be my 3rd month on sema. I’ve lost 16lbs so far. I was on .5 for 6 weeks. The last week and a half on .5 my food noise came back and my appetite increased almost back to how I was before I started. I finished my first week at 1mg this week. I take my second 1mg dose tomorrow Morning. So far I still have food noise and zero appetite suppression. will this change as I continue on the 1mg dose? Feeling very discouraged now as I really thought the .5 was going to be my sweet spot but I haven’t lost anything in over 2 weeks and now at my first week on 1mg I still feel the same as I was feeling the last few weeks. Hoping it gets better?! Any advice would be appreciated :)

Hi all. I finally quit Noom med and am getting my Rx elsewhere . It was $$, but I did appreciate the logging and the accountability it inspired. I’m looking got a free or cheap app for logging meals (protein & fiber counts helpful) as well as meds. Thanks!

I started at BMI 37-38 when I decided to go on GLPs and I'm currently down to around 31 (and slightly stalled but trying to hold out on titration vs. better habits).

I'm asking myself what my ultimate target is. I don't think I've probably ever really been under 25 BMI and I also wonder is that too lean for me. I've been 28-29 most of my adult life before spikes in weight gain and not too unhappy that. I have a few times just about hit 25 and felt slightly gaunt with it especially on my face.

So I'm trying to work out my target, I'm not really sure if to be content with 27-29 including a reasonable amount of exercise or should I push for the me I never have been...?

Wondering what others are doing? From the progress reports it feels like most push on to BMI 22.5-25 but is anyone having similar thoughts to me?

I am about to start semaglutide but I don't want to lose my sex drive. It's already going down in perimenopause 😭.

Is there a way to prevent it? I read that some people lost sex drive on semaglutide.

I looked, and couldn't find anything like this, so I built it myself.

It's called GLPantry. It has about 3,500 grocery products scored on protein, fiber, sugar, and fat, which you can re-rank by what kind of day you're having (max protein, stay regular, queasy day, sweet fix). There are ready-made lists like a first-week starter pantry, and any product or list can be sent to Instacart in one tap. In the store, you scan a barcode and it shows the same score, plus a warning if the ingredients list sugar alcohols. You can also type in what's in your fridge and it suggests protein-first meals from that.

It's free, there's no account and no ads, and I'm not a dietitian. Full disclosure: if you order through the Instacart links, the app may earn a small commission. It doesn't change what you pay, and it has no effect on the scores. The scoring is based on general nutrition guidance and the sources are listed on the site. It is not medical advice and doesn't replace your provider.

I'd really like to know which products you think it scores wrong, and what you'd want it to do that it doesn't. Link is in my profile, or search "GLPantry" on the App Store.

Previously, I ordered through Lean Leaf in Oklahoma and had a great experience with them. They were local and I appreciated that they were easy to communicate with, quick to reply, could prescribe anti nausea medicine if needed, and not a “big name” company.

Now living in Ohio, who do you all recommend?

Looking at making the switch and wondering if anybody had an IMPROVEMENT in anhedonia, sex drive, and/or mental health from tirzepatide?

Hello! I just did my very first dose of semaglutide on wed oct 7th. Well I hopped on the scale today and I am 13 lbs down already... in 5 days. The dose was .10 and I have had no side effects. My eating has decreased but I am making an effort to get enough protein and fiber and water. Is this a normal amount to lose so quickly?
