[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My insurance will no longer cover Mounjaro/Zepbound for weight loss, but for some reason, it will cover Ozempic. I had been taking Moujaro for six months with great results. I've lost more than 50 pounds and made many improvements in my diet and activity levels. My last dose was 7.5.

Because of the insurance change, I switched to Ozempic at the lowest dose (.25). My doctor said that because they are different medications, I needed to start at the smallest dose. After two weeks at .25, I can say that Ozempic is doing nothing for me. I'm glad there aren't any side effects, but I feel no appetite suppressant either. My doctor has upped my next dose to .5, but I feel discouraged and frustrated that the new medication is not effective.

Has anyone made the switch from Mounjaro/Zepbound to Ozempic/Weygovy and not noticed a difference? Did you have to wait until you got to a similar dose of the new medication? I'm trying to decide whether to stick with Ozempic, increasing the dose as directed by my doctor, or pay out of pocket for Zepbound. I still have a significant amount of weight to lose. [/quote]

I did not see any change in weight until I got to the full dose of Ozempic (2.4 mg). After that the weight loss was steady and rapid. Lost 30 pounds in 4 months.[/quote]
