Anyone on weight loss drugs? How did you get them?

I'm considering weight loss injections. Fed up of being overweight and feeling so uncomfortable in my skin.
I'm 150cm and about 12 stone so obese. I've been on every diet under the sun and have been as slim as 8 stone 7 but this is the biggest I've been. As I've got older, it's been harder to lose the weight and I'm so tired of it. I can only describe food as "noise" to me. It seems to run my life. In almost like an addict.

Im wondering if anyone could help me with how to get some weight loss medication? Can I go through my gp? If so, what can I expect? Has anyone gone through a pharmacy?

There is a weight loss injections section.

You won’t get them on the NHS and will have to get them privately. There are lots of providers. You fill in an online consultation and will be approved or not. You will more than likely have to send a picture of yourself.

I used Voy to get onto Mounjaro, and then I moved over to Oxford Online Pharmacy for my next pen. It's all been fine, I've been using it for 4 weeks and lost half a stone so far. I'll be taking a higher dose this week, so I'm hoping for more hunger suppression then; I had a good amount of suppression the first 2 weeks but my body got used to the lower dose I suppose, and it's tapered off to nothing since. But you need the first month to get used to the drug.

I've had no adverse side effects.

Thanks for your replies so far @ToBeOrNotToBee @Peridot1 @KeepinOn how much can I expect them to be monthly?

I've had all my injectable meds from Voy.

They're a registered online pharmacy.

And the tirzepatide is working for me. I've lost 18lb in four weeks and had minimal side-effects.

Costs vary but about £150 - £210 per month

That's the same as your code, which you've posted all over MN this evening.

@Lah85 fuck off with spamming your code everywhere. Hopefully you get banned, it's so fucking annoying!
