I took the plunge and ordered today, hopefully arrive tomorrow - would love to have others who are at the same point to share experiences!

Day 12 (1.5mg) my appetite is, I’d say for last few days, almost back to normal. I feel hungry & can eat more. I’ve certainly eaten more today, I hope I don’t put on what I’ve lost so far!

I am constipated though as only been twice so will look at getting something for that tomorrow, I’m not in any pain but I think twice in last 12 days can’t be right.

Apart from the bloating in the first few days, some slight nausea, the constipation & the odd headaches (which I get anyway) that’s been it for me. So far. I just wish the appetite suppression was still happening.

Yes, I’m feeling a bit bunged up too. It’s not fun. I’ve still got mild appetite suppression on 1.5mg after over 2 weeks. Wondering whether to reorder that and have it daily next month and then do 1 month on 4mg.

have not lost anything yet this week - it feels like everything I’ve eaten is getting stuck. Had a massive salad bowl for dinner to try and get some more fibre in.

I’m on day two. Has been good reading everyone’s experiences. Nothing noticeable for me so far except stomach gurgles more.

I’m 10 days in and have dropped 2kg! No real side effects apart from a headache so have been drinking more. Really pleased it seems to have put me off booze too - one two many glasses of wine while cooking or in front of the tv has definitely contributed to me putting on weight. I’ve got the tablets from bolt and happy to share a discount code if helpful for anyone.

I should be on Day 4 of the 9mg but I was really sick in the early hours of the morning and have been nauseous most days so I decided against taking today's. I'm thinking of taking them every other day until I feel good again. Anyone else on the 9mg yet?

Started on July 22nd and went up to 4mg a few days ago. After about 6 weeks of 1.5 the suppression waned. It’s returned on 4mg. No real
side effects. Starting weight 79kg, current weight 71kg.

@bigkey2020 I'm on 9mg and I feel terrible. I'm thinking about stopping.

cheeseomelette · 18/09/2026 17:49

Half a stone now gone on a tablet every other day for 3 weeks of 1.5 🥳. A full stone to go still and ideally 20 lbs.

I am not increasing dose until I really need to

Lilylovetulips · 19/09/2026 17:34

I've lost 9lbs in 6 weeks but this has now stalled so going up to 4mg

I did have some nausea and fatigue when I first started. Then terrible headaches which I attributed to the pill but actually then turned out to be a sinus infection! (Got rid of it with antibiotics)

Now I just get acid reflux but I had this before starting anyway, and the odd bout of nausea which I take cyclizine for when needed. I'm worried my side affects will return when I go up to 4mg but we'll see.

I’ve stayed on 4mg as suppression was still working. I’m still losing (slowly!) so I won’t go up to 9mg unless I feel I really need to. Can you ask to go back down to 4mg perhaps if it’s still bad in a week?

Yes, good point. I could maybe stay on the 4mg another month or so and see how I feel on 9mg then.

Aw gosh, sorry to hear this. I hadn't taken it in 3 days due to cramps and feeling awful. Took it again this morning as I felt a bit better. Hoping I'll be OK tonight. I tried to eat dinner earlier and felt sick half way through 😌 I think I could have stayed on 4mg and still lost weight.

LondonCheesecake · 19/09/2026 21:45

Bigkey I found 1st 2 weeks on 1.5 great had some suppression lost a few lbs but normal appetite resumed towards the end of the month. Went up to 4mg and same again, good for 2 weeks then undid all my good work. I'm on day 2 of 9mg and have felt terrible all day. I'm going to give it a few more days and then consider jabs instead. I seem to be spending a lot of money to maintain rather than lose weight and feel awful while doing it!

bigkey2020 · 19/09/2026 22:05

Do keep us updated London, there's nothing worse than feeling awful. And of course you don't want to waste your money either if the treatment is ineffective for you. I tried the jabs but was really ill on them from the start. It seems to be trial & error to find a best fit 😔

seeyouyesterday · 20/09/2026 09:17

So I haven’t lost much in just over the 2nd week in 1.5mg maybe about a pound!

I’ve only opened my bowels once properly (and a few little pebbles) being on the tablets, so that’s once in 16 days. I know it’s a bit tmi, but anyone else experiencing this level of constipation? I’m not in any pain or discomfort & I am still passing wind! I am taking some movicol as they reckon that’s the best stuff to take alongside wegovy.

I’m going to see how I go when I finish the pack & see if I want to go onto 4mg or stop, my concern is the constipation & if I lose any more weight, which I’m guessing probably not.

SweetBaklava · Today 13:24

So I’m just over 2 months in, currently on 4mg which is working well for me. I have lost a stone and the trajectory looks good 🙏🏻 no plans to increase the dose at the moment, I’m on my second box of 4mg. I’ve taken a day off here and there which doesn’t seem to have made any difference.

notasorangeashelooks · Today 16:02

I have just ordered mine and expecting to start on Thursday. Have really gone back and forth on whether to take the plunge with this so would be good to have support of others doing the same

scaredysquiggle · Today 18:15

End of week 1. Loss 4lbs. Really pleased
