Rybelsus Day 01

It missed out some of my words in last post;

Also I’m still finding if I drink too much, I’m sick. So I’m now staying to one max two drinks (though I had 5 on Wednesday as was put so still haven’t learnt my lesson really!!)

sounds like everyone is doing really well!

Sorry you are poorly @Londonlady365 hope you are better soon!!@Pineapplepansy at the beginning it was all I could do to get thru the day! I’m now exercising every day whether that’s steps, gym session etc etc and do find it gets easier (and I’m motivated more!) @RachelGreensHair i think you need to go up to 7mg. Let me know if you find any 🙏🏻 @Doggymummar and @RybelsusDay1x20MAR23 sounds like you are still going strong! Hope you are well. Have good rest of the week all x

I know @RybelsusDay1x20MAR23 i actually have no money to order the damn things until the end of next week and by then I’ll be incredibly close to not having any more tablets so I need to find someone with stock that doesn’t hold my money whilst they wait for stock etc! The stress is real lol

@Pineapplepansy I do the same thing with clothes, I've a load in the wardrobe with tags still on and slowly I'm fitting in to them. I tried on a dress that I have owned for over 5 years that I love and refused to get rid of or return and it fits, and will soon look ok to go out in, it's such a lovely feeling.

Sometimes I feel like they tablets aren't working and I'm hungrier than I should be, and it's always linked to my cycle, wondering if it's the same for others?

I've taken my first 3mg tablet today. I have two stone to lose, weighed today, 12st7. My weight seems to have shot up recently, no idea why, think I'm potentially perimenopausal 😔

Can I ask for some advice please on timing of taking Rybelsus. I plan to start on Monday. Bought from Numan and had telephone call from clinician who said to take it first thing and then eat 30 mins later. I am not a morning eater at all and so I said to her can I have black coffee in morning and take it later and she just said no. I don't generally eat till around 12-12.30 but I do like my morning coffee. Has anyone tried taking the tablet later than first thing and if so did it work/give side effects? Thanks

No I always take it first thing. You don't need to eat 30 minutes later though, I only eat once a day about 7pm so don't worry about not wanting to eat till lunch

So glad to have found this thread. I started yesterday. Have about four stone to lose.

@Doggymummar
Thankyou both - I hadn't realised I did not have to eat soon after the tablet. Yes I can wait for coffee!

A month on 3mg has had zero effect, pharmacist said they will send out next tablets on 1 July and they will be 7mg - hopefully they'll have them in stock and I will start seeing results :)

@olddoglover I keep the tablets on bedside drawer and cos I don't sleep well I usually wake up at 4am take a tablet, go back to sleep and wake up at 7am for work and have a cuppa at about 8am. Don't know if that's right though!!

@RachelGreensHair thanks will try that. Good luck with your 7kg dose.

Where is everyone buying their 7mg tablets from? I'm struggling to find a supplier and I'm due to finish 3mg shortly

I’ve got some 7 mg. I’ve had to abandon it all as l couldn’t sleep on the 3mg. Do you think l can send them back?

l could offer them for sale on here, but that would be drug dealing!

I don't think you can return them because they are prescribed to you, the website I got my 3mg from said that the order could be cancelled until they were despatched and after that can't be cancelled or returned

Been taking for three days and have noticed a really dry mouth. Anyone else get this?

Yes it's one of the common side effects

Just started today on 3mg. Not noticing any huge differences; not sure if it's a placebo effect but I do seem to be feeling fuller for longer / noticing satiety, and more control over snacking. Crossed fingers it'll stay this way!

I'm a month in as of tomorrow and will be doing my weigh in then. After initially not really suffering any side effects I've started to get headaches/migraines on a regular basis so not sure how sustainable taking this will be in the long term as don't want to be taking loads of painkillers every day. I think it must be something to do with my blood sugar levels.

Wah, having read on the Ozempic thread that there is now a warning until this time next year I have put in my order early. £192.33 !!!! I could only find one place with stock so I understand they have ramped up the price but gee whizz that's a lot of money. They would let you order two months but I just couldn't press the buy button on nearly £400 quid. Let's see if they let me have it 🤞

Nope out of stock too

@Doggymummar have you found anywhere? It’s on my list to find somewhere tonight as now have the funds. Need 7mg. So worried I won’t find any and will have to stop
