[quote=Anonymous]Two things:

1) You have lost 5lbs in 2 months and the expected weight loss according to Novo Nordisk is between 1/2 to 1 pound per week. You are right in there. So the medication is working exactly as expected as opposed to "barely working." Not sure why you think experiencing the recommended amount of loss = barely working.

2)  Even if you hadn't lost any at all yet it is normal for people to not lose weight on it when they are not yet at a therapeutic dose. If you are getting compounded, which I assume you are, given that you said semaglutide instead of Wegovy, I'm not sure how the dosing schedule works. But with brand name Wegovy the dosing is 1 month of 0.25, one month of 0.5, one month of 1 and then one month of 1.7 which is a therapeutic dose, and then up to 2.4 a month after that if 1.7 doesn't work. So given that you have only been on it two months, and are unlikely to even be at a therapeutic dose yet.

So this "It's barely working" stuff is just ignorant and dramatic for multiple reasons. Did your doctor explain what to expect on this medication? [/quote]
