Interesting. I had a major change with my first shot of Mounjaro. I love it but unfortunately the insurance co-pay is 1,700 so I’m switching to Ozempic next week. Fingers crossed it works as well.

This was me last year. No appetite suppression until I worked my way up the dosage. But then the vomiting and nausea took over. Lost 10 lbs but almost lost my job because I was not able to leave the bathroom.



Yea my mom was in it for diabetes and Couskt leave her toilet without pooping her pants.

Try fasting for a few days. Just stop eating and don’t worry about whether it’s “working” or not.

OP here. Alright… sticking to the prescribed dosing. I was confused and thought that the baby-step titration was only for the weight loss indication, but then noticed that ozempic also starts at 0.25mg. Who knew

No. Do not do this. Take it on schedule. I’m on Ozempic and have had relatively few symptoms. You need to work your way up. Continue with the dosage as prescribed.

I suggest following the dosing guide. I had been on the highest dose for months and then had trouble getting it for a while. When I got my medication my doctor said I could resume at the highest dose and within 18 hours I was in the ER for the worst vomiting I’ve ever experienced. Seriously this medicine is powerful. Be patient and follow the instructions!

Also have taken two shots, also no change yet. I've waited this long, I can wait a few weeks to titrate up, so that hopefully the side effects aren't too bad

What were you instructed to do by the doctor that prescribed the medication?

Do that, or make an appointment to discuss a different approach.

I’ve taken the first 2 shots of Wegovy 0.25mg and am not feeling any different. No side effects either. I’m thinking about combining shots 3 and 4 to make 0.5mg. Has anyone done this? Will it mess up the titration somehow?
