Switching from Wegovy pills to MJ jabs due to side effects - anyone got any experience?

Hi, I’ve got about 1.5stone to loose and been on Wegovy pills for almost 2 months. I can’t manage the fatigue.

Also at 1.5mg it got rid of the ‘food noise’ but on 4mg it completely stopped my metabolism meaning no appetite at all and no bowel movements for a week. At which point I stopped for a few days.

Spoke to my provider and plan is to switch now to MJ jabs and as I don’t have much to loose I’d like slight appetite suppression ideally and not huge and I really can’t cope with the fatigue.

Has anyone got any experience of similar and any advice please. Thanks

I switched from Wegovy pills to Foundayo tablets. I did MJ previously.

very happy with the Foundayo but hated hated Wegovy tablets so maybe that’s worth trying?

Thanks for commenting presentlysleeping - good to know I’m not the only one who has not got on well with Wegovy tabs.

can I ask what you struggled with - for me it has been mostly the fatigue and too much suppression and making my metabolism totally stop.

All your side effects are very common on the jabs too.

@Madamlulu I hated the restrictions around timing of taking the pills and no tea for 30 mins after waking up! I also had a sort of ‘catch’ feeling in my throat which reminded me all the time that I was on the pills.

I didn’t actually get much suppression (totally different from MJ suppression) and started fancying quite unhealthy foods (+ put on 3lbs in the month I was on it - by that point I’m not sure if I was deliberately sabotaging it though 🤷‍♀️). I was very tired too but that may have been more to do with general life etc. anyway it def wasn’t for me!

On Foundayo I have similar suppression to MJ although can eat more I think than when I was on the jabs (although was v motivated to control any eating more)
