Having been on Wegovy for 2 months from supplier Numan I need to change both the drug and company.

I have lost exactly no weight, the only side effect is an inexplicable tiredness for a couple of days after the jab. I am not trying to "fight" the treatment and am finding the company Numan impossiible to deal with as their customer service is total crap and I am £400 down with no results,

Can anyone recommend a company that would pick up the prescription from 0.5
using Mounjaro, preferably without having to inform my GP, and whose supply and interaction actually works?
Many thanks.
Meg

Have a look on https://monj.co.uk/discount-mounjaro-price-list/ for best prices. All registered pharmacies with links to trust pilot reviews and discount codes provided.

Everyone starts on a 2.5mg dose of Mounjaro

Well if you are over the bmi threshold 30 or 27 with other conditions you can choose who you want, and for a lot less than 200 a month. use the monj comparison website on here shared many times, and pick a provider, most of them only inform your gp if you consent. I ticked the box but I never heard from gp 🤷so....

@meg54 0.5mg is one of the lower doses of Wegovy and similar to Mounjaro some people do not respond until they reach the higher doses. Switching from Wegovy to Mounjaro at this stage is potentially throwing the investment you have made climbing the Wegovy doses away.

Most providers will allow you to start Wegovy from 0.5mg with proof of previous prescriptions. If you want to switch to Mounjaro some providers may want a break of few weeks between Wegovy so it is out of your system before starting Mounjaro as they are different medications with different doses (Mounjaro starts at 2.5mg). You will need to check each of them out on the monj.co.uk website to see what their protocols are.

Do you know why you didn't lose weight? If you are obese and were sticking to a weight loss calorie deficit you should have lost some weight over 2 months even if it was slow, or did the lower Wegovy doses not support you to do that yet? What do you mean by "I am not trying to 'fight' the treatment", did Numan say that, and why?

Also be aware, most of the pharmacies do not offer much beyond generic nutritional advice (calorie deficit, more protein/reduce carbs, hydration - that after being on many diets before WLI most of us already know) or advice on side effects, or doses (even then it is very patient led - ".......if you feel you want to move up/stay then do that" type advice which suits most people).

As an aside my GP said they have a huge backlog of letters from WLI providers and mine is a small town practice, so just because people haven’t heard from their GP or had anything added to their NHS records on the app doesn’t mean that their GP hasn’t been informed.

Thanks all for the advice and help.
I am in the middle of a big refurb project, 2 very stressful private situations to manage, have a 2 day family celebration this weekend, a 3 day celebration on the 20th, and off on holiday the week after so will focus on a reboot for when I get home.
I don't know why I didn't lose weight. I really felt like my portions were smaller, and I rarely finished a meal.
However, I was aware that my (already high) wine consumption has gone up, and will address that when I return from holiday.
I would like to lose 2 to stone to allow me to feel better. I know what a healthy diet looks like, and enjoy making and eating it.
Will check out the advice offered, and report back i due course.
I am grateful for all the input and will report back.
Take care,
Meg.
