Just wanted to see if anyone else had experienced this?

Started Wegovy about six weeks ago did one month on the 0.25 dose and lost about a stone. I ended up injecting every nine days rather than every week as felt really sick.

Appetite went instantly as well, I found symptoms usually peaked around 3 days after injecting.

Anyway I had a couple of weeks off and now back to 0.25 with a different company. Started yesterday at 4pm and by 8pm had a horrific headache went to bed and it went.

I am starving today though and not felt any type of appetite change which I had last time so now I’m worrying it won’t work this time round and I should have pushed for a higher dose!

Annoying!

You literally had one dose yesterday, give it a chance. You wouldn't have been able to go on a higher dose since that was the highest you were on and then you had a 2 week break. Normally you would go down a dose after a break.
The headache could be down to low blood sugar or dehydration which these meds do, I still get low blood sugar regularly and I'm in maintenance come down from max dose to second lowest. It can take upto 72hrs to reach peak concentration weekly then a month to reach peak dose concentration.
Make sure to eat little and often and drink plenty of fluids. I was starving on all doses of mounjaro until I got to 10mg. Wegovy did nothing for me and I was on 1.7mg, unfortunately that's what insulin resistance or prediabetes for me does with these drugs. Eventually you will get to a dose that works all week long for you but be careful because if a dose is too strong for you, it can drop your blood sugars low so you end up more hungry than before it.
