@FizzleGONE This is what I've seem on reddit about oral semaglutide and mounjaro comparison. It was from clinical trial data. I wouldn't trust chatgpt as it only searches for info and it's probably talking it from tables of advice for switching over rather than clinical trials data??

I have only been on them for about 4 days, so far so good but its early days, I will see what they are like after a couple of weeks. Iv lost 3lbs in those 4 days.

I will look into some of the other pharmacy's! thank you.

I swear this wasn't here when I wrote my reply!

Thanks, I will use what I have, I think it would be ok for maintain but I need something to shift the few lbs iv put on.

If it works it doesn't matter what trials say as everyone reacts differently to them. Losing 3lbs in 4 days is great, hopefully it comtinues for you. Could you increase the dose of the tablets and see how you get on especially if they are so cost effective?
I think 5mg is too strong for me now, managed 1038 cals so far and that was forced as I was getting light headed but no appetite until about 7.30pm!

I ended up spending half the day feeling sick yesterday. I upped to the 14mg tablet and I ate half a ham salad sandwich for lunch and couldn't face the other half, then spent the rest of the day feeling sick.

Not sick enough that I was going to be sick but sick enough I felt off my food. Perfect middle ground for sickness😂

I am also down to 10st 3lbs now so its going down steadily for the first week on them. Just need that little boost to get back on track.
I am joining the gym next week.

It looks like it is working well so keep at it! I didn't realise the pills you have are a similar dose, are they grey market or just international branded wegovy ones? I think the table i posted must be incorrect if it is making you that sick but then if you've been off mj a while it will feel stronger initially. Make sure to eat more so you don't lose muscle by not eating which isn't good to maintain long term as reduces your BMR.
I did a body toning fat burning session with weights on friday and then saturday did 2.5hrs in the garden trimming hedges and mowing lawns even though my thighs were sore from my body toning session so it's taken 2 days to recover 🤣 I might attempt one today. I haven't exercised in a long time, briefly a few sessions months ago but that's it since I started mj 🙈 because it just wears me out and drains my energy. This is why I've wanted to come down and off. I might try the pills if I come off and can't stay in control and gain.
