Advice on doubling Wegovy dose please

[Aviarythebird]

I’ve been on Wegovy for about 10 weeks. Responded really well to start with on 0.25mg and lost about 10lbs so far. I’m on 0.5mg and have been for about 6 weeks. Weight loss has stalled and I’m not feeling any suppression. Using Bolt which recommended moving to 1mg last time but at that stage I felt I could continue at 0.5mg and so did.
I have two weeks of 0.5mg left and am wondering whether it would be ok to use both lots to get 1mg. Otherwise I think I’ll be stalled or gain for the next two weeks. If I do that can I order the next lot early? Would be grateful for advice.

I think you should call bolt and ask if they will prescribe 1mg for you a week early if you double dose

OR just order 1mg from another supplier & double up if you want to - you’ve done 3 extra weeks on 0.5mg

In your situation I would order 1mg, but use 1 1/2 of my remaining doses to do a week at 0.75mg and see how I get on … it’s basically what you were doing before , ie moving your but a bit slowly

Thanks very much. Yes probably right to call Bolt. They were pretty helpful when I did before.

Yes, double the dose to 1mg and see how that works and order your next pen straightaway.

Are you actually obese or just wanting to lose a couple of stones? A loss of 10lbs in 10 weeks is pretty slow unless you’re not seriously overweight.

You can double it or take it every 5 days so that should increase your blood concentration levels

Thanks both for the advice. I was overweight when I started but just now at top of normal. It’s been a slow loss but I’ve been on a low dose. I asked Bolt about doubling the dose and they said it could cause side effects which made absolutely no sense to me as it’s still 1mg - which they’ve recommended. I don’t see how my body could possibly know.
Have ordered 1mg pen early as suggested.

Use up your old pen by taking it earlier, that's what my pharmacy recommended to me when I needed to move up.
