If you took Semaglutide/Ozempic, when did you notice a difference?

[Anonymous]

I just started taking Ozempic this week and so far I don't notice a difference in my hunger/craving levels. If you took it, when if ever, did you notice a difference in your hunger levels?

Immediately, but everyone is different so you can’t compare with other people.

There’s a thread every other day on this site about it, try searching

I actually did. I found information on cost, dr recommendations, and long term results. However, I couldn't find anything about short term side effects. If you have a link, I am happy to review it though!

Depends on the strength. But for the starting dose of .25mg, most people say about 2 weeks. .5mg within a few days.

I started losing fairly quickly, but not a ton. I have been on it for 16 weeks (start actual full dose of Wegovy next week), and have lost 16 pounds. 35 pounds total to lose

Some notice it right away, and others don’t. Both are normal. Remember that this is a drug that requires a slow dosing up. You start at 0.25 and slowly move up to 2.0mg if you’re taking Ozempic and 2.4mg if you’re taking Wegovy. Those are considered the full dose, and it’s normal to not see results until then.

I took it for 3 months (so .25, .5 and 1 dosing) and didn't feel any different and only lost a few pounds.

Ditto. Didn’t work for me

My husband is on week three at the lowest dose and hasn’t had any difference in hunger/cravings yet. He hasn’t lost any weight so far. Hopefully when he takes higher dose it will make a difference!

Is he drinking alcohol? My SIL didn’t notice a difference until she gave up beer and wine.

He does drink some alcohol. Not a lot but sounds like it might make a difference. Thanks!

I’ve been on it for several months following the dosing guide. I just got to 1.7 last week and suddenly am losing weight more quickly. I’m down 14 pounds overall, 7 in the past two weeks.

Immediately. I’m 8 weeks in and .5 is working well for me.
