If I reacted very badly to Saxenda am I likely to do the same with Wegovy?

Felt perfectly good before first injection and 10 mins after first, lowest dose sexenda I felt nauseous, which built up over 20 minutes into vomiting with stomach cramps.

This continued in 1 hour cycles for about 12 hours before it ran out and I felt better.

Is it the same ingredients?

I'm tempted to try it but if I do react the same, the drugs last 165 hours vs 13 so I wouldn't want that happening again for so long obviously!

It seems the main ingredients are different but they do the same thing? So may cause the same reaction?

There's no way to know. Just like someone might react to one antibiotic but not another that does the same thing. You might not have any side effects but from the threads it seems a lot of people have nausea, diarrhoea, sleep problems, sulphur burps, cramps. Some vomit, some get gallbladder problems and have to stop. Only you can decide if it's a risk you want to take. Maybe have a read of the ozempic/Wegovy threads and let them help you decide. Good luck with your weight loss.

I don't have a gallbladder.

I think I'll keep going alone. I don't think it's worth the risk.

Thankyou.
