My prescriber has stopped my treatment.

I'm so disappointed. I'm 3 months into Wegovy and doing well. I've some minor side effects such as nausea, but I'm losing weight now.

I have been transparent when answering their medical questions and told them about a recent change of antidepressant medication. They wanted to know more specifically if I've had any suicidal thoughts or self-harm.

I did have a suicide attempt last year but it's very much behind me now and the weight loss was a really positive focus for me. I've explained this to them but they aren't willing to let me continue with them. I'm gutted. It feels like a waste of 3 months as I've still got a couple of stones to lose.

Can I do anything else to get them to change their mind? I'm genuinely honest but I wish I hadn't been now.

Try a different provider? I go through my local pharmacy. It’s a little bit more expensive that online providers but I have a face to face meeting once every 4 weeks and I’m good to go.

I'm not saying to do this but I know people lie on the questionnaires.

What did you expect when you answered their questions honestly? That's the consequence.

Get it from somewhere else but bear in mind that they do increase anxiety in a lot of people and with a suicide attempt, you're probably better off not going back on it.
