Ozempic for those a few months in - part 3

[DrMadelineMaxwell]

Thread was full so I've started a new one. 😀

That's in the US.

Here, it's one pen for the month

Well it LOOKS like my order for 1mg wegovy just went through on quickmeds.

Whether it was a glitch I dont know but other doses were showing up as out of stock and 1mg was in stock.
I'm not sure I'm still losing on 0.5 but it means it will last maybe 6 additional weeks. Last time I tried 0.75 I had the horrible sulphur burps so we will see.
It means I have maybe 10 more weeks worth of it now. I took a deep breath before paying but it is better to spend 245 for 6-8 weeks worth depending on what dose I can get out of it rather than 225 with juniper for 4 weeks.

So concerned I'll put the weight on I have lost or I wouldnt have bothered.

That's my payrise spent for the next 2 months!

My order from quickmeds was despatched yesterday and should have arrived by 1 today, according to the royal mail tracking app it hasn't moved from the depot in Birmingham. Really cross as I cancelled things this morning to wait in for it

I’ve not been lucky enough to get anything from quickmeds but I have paid an absolute fortune and got a 1mg ozempic pen from virtual slimming clinic today.
I’ve been on 0.75 for 6 weeks and I know it’s time to move up.

Can anyone tell me how many clicks 0.25 would be? I have 2 x 0.5 pen from myjuniper and want to do 0.75 in the hope I keep losing coming down from 1mg.

The conversation about ozempic making anxiety worse is really interesting. I've had some difficult weeks recently and though it was hormonal (but lasting a bit long), work stress etc. I'm now wondering if it's the oz.

@RunningAndSinging that's good to know, thanks 👍

@SwimmingFree if it is an Ozempic pen you can Google a click chart. 0.25mg of Ozempic is 18 clicks. If it is Wegovy that won’t work the same and you would have to do the maths yourself with the pen you have.

Brilliant thanks, I didn't think to google, I tried YouTube but didn't find much. It's an ozempic pen. Thank you

i know someone who has a 1mg pen from quick meds. You can’t amend the dose. I’m they don’t have clocks like the ozempic one.

Oh bugger. That's not good if that's the case....I dont fancy the jump in dose.

What checks do quickmeds do? I havent ordered from there before but have had 1mg from elsewhere.

The packaging in the pic on the 1mg page for qquickmeds says one pen and 4 disposable needles so I'm hoping it is not the fixed dose. I thought that came in 4 prefilled pens in the US.

They asked me for proof that I'd been prescribed 1mg recently, as I'd not ordered from them for a couple of months. I sent them a screenshot of my last Rightangled order.

Quickmeds asked me for a photo but no proof of previous dose

They did question my weight increase. I said it was due to not being able to source a pen for some time...

My 1.7 just arrived, it's one pen - won't be starting it for a couple of weeks.

Quickmeds asked for photo of me, copy of last order and a photo of the last pen

Can I ask how you are managing to get your hands on ozempic and Wegovy?
I just took last dose this morning. Been trying for weeks to get more ........

I logged onto quickmeds 15 mins before the time and started the consultation - was just going to keep refreshing as the time arrived but found they had stock 5 mins before

Sorry being really thick, before what time?

@montysma1 Quickmeds restock at 1pm and 6pm daily. So start the consultation at quarter to and then keep on refreshing.

Quick meds wanted info about my bmi and a photo. To know what dose I was on with who and when I last took it so I sent a photo of my latest pen. And they wanted a phone call chat to verify everything which took 2 mins.
The lady said that they generally use the one pen (like ozempic) flex ones not the US style 4 pack of one use disposable pens.

That’s interesting, did they make you start back at 0.25?

My Wegovy pen has just been delivered and it does have the clicker so you can adjust the dose as required.

@Athena51 this is very good news! Thanks Athena

Fantastic! I haven't opened mine yet but I that is great.

@greylad it was an odd one as I could only get my hands on 0.25 ozempic and I was desperate so bought it.

I then managed to get 1mg wegovy from same place.

They said I would have to do 0.5 first.

I said I was on 1mg but could only locate the 0.25 pen but did injection of 1mg and they sent the 1mg wegovy

Managed to get the 1mg of wegovy from quickmeds tonight :) hopefully it goes through without too much hassle since I’ve ordered regularly.

i did consider trying for 1.7 but I’m not sure if it’s worth it or not. I’m only half a stone from my target weight, although i haven’t lost anything for a month and a bit, so I’m not sure I want to nearly double the dose for a small amount.
