[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I started Wegovy (that's Ozempic, but branded for weight loss) two weeks ago. I didn't want it, but my BMI is 34 and my glucose and A1C are flirting with pre-diabetes and my doctor talked me into it. I've been fortunate, insurance is covering it (BCBS fep).

I'm on the starting dose, and it's hard to say how it is going as far as whether I feel hungry or not. Maybe a little less hungry? Less "food noise"? I can tell you that I have side effects -- after I eat a meal I have an hour or two and then I don't know how else to describe it but I can feel the peristalsis start up. It hurts, and then I have to go to the bathroom. It was bad enough one night that I had dreams about needing to go to the bathroom. It's unpleasant, but really not that big of a deal. Not sure if it will get worse when I go up in dose, though.

I have ADD like your DH -- I didn't really know that it could cause impulse eating? Or overeating? I don't think that has ever been the case for me (I was quite skinny most of my life, and I've had ADD since I was a kid -- my weight gain is psych med related and only began when I was 34 and older). Can't say the Wegovy has any effect on my ADD. [/quote]

I would ask your doctor about switching to Zepbound. My husband and I started on that and it was amazing. Cravings were gone and the food noise was dead. Zepbound became hard to find and we switched to Wegovy for a month and we both hated it. We've had zero side effects on Zepbound. [/quote]
