Wegovy tablets - serious appetite suppression on 1.5mg?

I started 1.5mg 8 days ago and I’ve had bouts of fatigue, headaches, constant burping and quite severe appetite suppression.

I wasn’t expecting it to be this immediate or effective so quickly as I thought it was a starter dose. I can’t even imagine if I was to go up to next step of 4mg never mind the maintenance of 25mg!!

Has anyone else had this? Are some just more sensitive than others?

My BMI is just over 25 as been intermittent fasting over long period of time and healthy eating to lose several stone but the last bit has been impossible hence the pills. But bloody hell, I don’t know if I can keep this up.

I had to stop Mounjaro as I was so sensitive to it, so suspected it would be the same with Wegovy. My BMI is 27.

I find Wegovy tablets good, been on them 3 weeks. I take one every other day, as the suppression lasts me and I don’t want side effects, though I do get nausea the morning I take it. My body seems to be getting used to it so am going to step up to a tablet every day soon.
