Wegovy for maintenance? Been unimpressed previously.

I've pretty much reached my GW after 1.3 years on MJ. I briefly switched to Wegovy after the price hike but immediately went back to MJ as it was like injecting nothing, as far as I could tell.

I'm now at maintenance, and wondering if MJ is overkill now? Has anyone switched to Weg just to maintain? I thought Wegovy was a complete waste of money for actual loss, but maybe it would work for just trying to stay stable? The price is so tempting!

I'm at 5mg.

I switched 3 weeks ago and its working wonderfully. Switched from 10mg to 1.7mg, suppression is super strong now at week 3, it was already strong at weeks 1 and 2. I've lost 2lbs and I'm 9st 1.9lbs now bmi 22.9 so it's doing great for that. I have the suppression without the nausea and low energy that mj caused. My excess hair loss of 11.5months has now finally stopped too, it lessened when I started wegovy and now fully stopped. I wish I'd switched earlier.
My friend was maintaining on 15 switched to 1.7mg and said it was ok and then went up to 2.4mg and said its strong suppression. She hasn't lost but is in maintenance and building muscle weight training.
I think because of the lack of GIP target that mj has, there is reduced blood sugar control so if you need that with insulin resistance then mj works better. I was prediabetic but after bmi 25 I didn't need the higher doses and mj was giving me nausea and dropping my blood sugar too low so I was getting dizzy spells. I don't get it with wegovy so I think it would work for maintenance. I'll be staying on it.
