Anyone had good effects on lowest dose of Semaglutide (Wegovy/Ozempic)

I've been using Semaglutide 0.25mg for two weeks, just taken my third injection. I didnt think it was supposed to work at such a low dose, but I feel stuffed all the time after eating very little. I walk past the fridge, and am aware of all the yummy things inside, but I just don't want them. Ive lost 2.6kg in two weeks just from eating (much) smaller portions because I feel full so easily /not wanting snacks. I'm almost scared to go up to a higher dose because this is working so well!

Has anyone else had such noticeable results so early on?

Yes I lost plenty on weeks and weeks of 0.25mg. I never moved past 0.5mg and when it started to run out I went back down to 0.25mg to eke it out and still lost weight.

Overall in 8 months - only 5 months of them were on ozempic (I stopped 3 months ago) on 0.25mg mainly I’ve lost 2st 7lbs in total

However the low dose doesn’t combat hunger as well as a higher dose at all. 0.5mg was very noticeable difference - no appetite and nauseous and I did really struggle when I went back down to 0.25mg but I did get used to it again. You will have to work harder at weight loss than if you moved up the doses but IMO it worked for me as I was able to sustain the cost and low side effects and still lose weight, just more slowly.

At the start I could lose 10lb in a month now it’s 2/3/4lb a month

I've lost nearly 4st and never even got up to 1.0. Most of it was on 0.5 and towards the end I was on 0.85 (I half-dosed a 1.7 pen).

Hoping to reignite this thread if anyone is around! I've been looking for answers to this. I'm on the 3rd 0.25 jab and very little effect. I'm working hard to make the right food choices but my appetite is still there. For cost reasons I'm unlikely to be able to go beyond 1mg, will I see results at that dose or do I need to go higher?
