Has anyone been offered the new Wegovy pills? Does anyone know how much they will cost? Would you switch?

Can I ask if you have experienced a decrease in your desire to drink alcohol (if you previously drank)? I have read that’s a side effect of the WLIs and wondered if people find the same for the tablets?

I don’t drink much so I can’t really answer that BUT I used to drink gallons of Diet Coke and from the very first day…. nothing. Not a single sip of diet drinks has passed my lips since then. I just don’t fancy it anymore. This is something of a miracle for me as I used to absolutely cane it. I just drink water and tea now (and electrolytes). I also used to drink a jug of coffee at home every day but I don’t even make it now. I moved the coffee machine into storage and now just have the occasional coffee when out.

I have just been approved by Voy, £79 a month but they will be delivered on the 7th of July
As my first time, I have chosen the pills

Just wondering what the cost is for the second and subsequent months?

Wow! That's amazing - I used to be a big DC addict too although I managed to kick that one quite a few years back. The wine is proving tricky though (and undoubtedly much worse for me than the DC ever was😫)

I'm only on 1mg injection, what mg would I order as pills?

@Beekmanthe psoriasis thing is ridiculous! I’m only on day three and it looks better already . I have one main large plaque on my trunk that’s been there for years then some scattered lesions around my breast . They are smaller and flatter and the large plaque that always looked red and sore is now pale pink and looks much less inflamed . Am amazed !

I posted on a different thread but wanted to add it here - the tablets helped my auto immune related issues almost immediately. Steady drop in stress levels, resting heart rate, lower heart rate during exercise and much higher body battery score in the mornings via my watch. No migraines. I haven’t lost any weight though!

No, I haven't yet. I may do though so I'll let you know if I do (if I can find this comment again!)

I was thinking of swapping to the pills, I'm currently on 7.2mg of Wegovy. The main driver is cost, as there's a £50 difference, but I'm worried they won't be as effective. Has anyone swapped from maintenance dose to the highest dose on the pills? If so, did you find them as effective?

Has anyone had issues with bolt ?
im on the subscription thing and my new lot of tablets hadn’t been dispatched
I chased it and they said my billing date for next ones wasn’t till 16/8 ( 6 weeks after first ones were dispatched !) I asked for payment to be earlier , so they would arrive earlier , but still showing as awaiting dispatch and when I chased it I got a garbled message about paying the September payment now to get them sent straight away !

I noticed that my dispatch date would not get them to me on time. They asked if I wanted to pay immediately and get them shipped that day, I did and they arrived really quickly. I think Bolt are great you just have to keep more of an eye on how many tablets you have left.

Well you got better service than me . Still no update and no contact from them at all .
will be good experiment to see how quick they wear off ! Luckily I had decided to stay on the lowest dose or that might have been an issue
