Sick as a pig on Wegovy

[notskinnyyetffs]

Just that. Started 9mg this morning(have worked my way up) and I’m floored. Feel like I’m dying - no energy, nausea, generally very unwell. Anyone else had this? Any tips to combat gratefully recieved.

It’s certainly doing the job, but wondering if anyone has experienced similar?

I'm like this on 1.7. I have felt absolutely dreadful. Nausea, exhaustion, stomach is just awful, can't eat much at all!!

I’m like this on .25, it’s awful :(

I was like this on the lowest dose and had to give up.

Maybe I should have stuck it out a bit longer I don't know. I was being very sick though.

This is the tablet - sorry, should have said

I was the same on the injection and tablet.

Did you find anything else that worked without making you feel sick?

Sadly not … am losing weight without weight loss drugs but its painfully slow.

I’m sorry to hear that but congratulations on keeping going and keeping losing 💪

Aw, thank you 🙏🏻

I was fine on 1.5 just started 4 and feel like i have a hangover. Bit dizzy and bit sick just lightheaded upside is i dont feel like eating much. Does it get better as you get used to the pills or worse as you go up? I have 9 next month and two lots of 25 after that scared i wont be able to tolerate them and will lose all my money!

I’ve been taking one 9mg every OTHER day to try and mitigate sickness

The only time I ever had an issue with feeling very sick was on Mounjaro when I went from 2.5mg to 5mg. I bought some sugared stem ginger from Grape Tree to suck and felt much better.

I have a very bruised and stingy reaction everytime with Wegovy, which I never had using Mounjaro. Weird.

Was the 4mg no longer working for you?

Im trying to stay on the 4mg as long as I can as I have felt a bit rough on it at times and I know the accumulation effect is worth considering too. I feel suppression still on the 4mg so even though my prescriber would naturally have put me up, I’m staying put.

If you feel suppression on the 4mg I’d consider not moving up, that’s what I’ve done and still losing albeit maybe a bit slower. I’m not in a rush.

I felt awful when I first started but I'm now on 9mg and feeling fine. I found I felt better when I had a small breakfast an hour after taking it even if i dont feel hungry. I've been having fruit and a yogurt. If I skip breakfast I feel bad all day
