Can anyone share their experience of wegovy?

[Alexandra84]

So, like many, given the increases, I need to reevaluate.
2 young children, £200 a month is just not realistic for MJ.
I have been sticking with 5mg MJ for 2 months now, and lost 1.5 stones in total. I’m happy with that, and am likely to get in a better routine once the chaos of the school hols are over.
But…I am yet to learn a lot about Wegovy. Can anyone share their successes with me?
I have 5mg MJ order pending with Asda ( likely my last one) and am now doubting whether I should have done this or maybe start to consider a move over to Wegovy. Thanks.

I’m on Wegovy from the beginning of March this year. I’m really satisfied with it - I’ve lost almost 12kg to date with really minimal effort compared to any other weight loss attempts in the past (as in, I’m not in a constant state of mental anguish and I find it easy to make good food choices - I’m still snacking when I want to, just on less processed foods, and smaller portions).

Side-effect wise, I’ve had:

1. mild constipation (fixed with fibre + probiotics),
2. feeling “out of sorts” on too high doses - brain fog, lack of focus, etc (I’m counting clicks from my 1mg pen and doing 0.65mg - it’s not happening anymore),
3. anhedonia - someone in another thread suggested L-Tyrosine for this, I’ve started this week and already picking up hobbies back so I just wish I new about it sooner!
4. overly full feeling, extreme thirst - only for a couple of first days

Similarly to what everyone’s describing being on MJ I think? The loss might be slower but it’s not bothered me since it came so naturally and I’m close to goal anyway
