So easily lead. Berberine ordered.

Pineapplepansy · 21/07/2023 17:32

@Doggymummar lol me too but I'm hoping even if it doesn't work the placebo effect might still convince me I'm not hungry......

ElsaMars · 21/07/2023 17:58

Ha ha @Doggymummar I'm going to as well!

SilkySuky · 21/07/2023 19:05

I'm going to try the athletic greens as well as berberine, someone posted on an Oz thread that the prebiotic and probiotics also help with GLP

JaffacakeJanine · 21/07/2023 20:19

Feeling low that I potentially won't be able to continue on this miracle drug due to shortages. Maybe we can hope for Wegovy becoming available?

I've just tried to order an additional 3mg from Bury (somebody on the ozempic thread seems to have had some success with you) as the 3mg seems to still be working with me pretty well. I also have 1 7mg pack left. I do hope Numan will dispatch the next batch (due beginning of August) but like others have said on the thread, not feeling massively hopeful!

Pineapplepansy · 21/07/2023 20:50

I'm not sure when this thing comes into effect where they will only prescribe it to people on the NHS rather than to those with private prescriptions. It may be that we can get it for a little while longer yet. Does anyone know?

Cjgdjkf · 21/07/2023 21:41

Haha @Doggymummar i was exactly the same, googled and currently in the basket lol!

I don’t know @Pineapplepansy but when I googled earlier I can’t remember the site but it had on it that it was only prescribing to NHS patients for diabetes..

@JaffacakeJanine i know it’s quite depressing to find something that works to then be told you’ll have to stop. Fingers crossed for Numan for us!

Londonlady365 · 22/07/2023 11:08

So no dispatch or delivery updates so I assume its not coming.

Starryeyes17 · 22/07/2023 11:14

I’ve not yet started on Ozempic or Rybelsus yet.
my question is - I’m going on holiday at the end of August and would love to fully enjoy it (eating all the food :) and drinking cocktails). Am I likely to feel awful if I start and then stop with either the tablets or injections? Or should I just go away the weight that I am and start when I’m home? I’d love to lose a few pounds first

BangingOn · 22/07/2023 11:38

Numan have 7mg in stock but not 14mg. Pill Doctor have all strengths but crazy prices and only supplying to new customers.

After nearly 3 weeks the 14mg has definitely kicked in and I’m feeling a huge difference, not sure why it took so long to feel different from the 7mg. Anyway, back from holiday early hours of this morning and I’ve lost 1.2lbs whilst away, which I am very pleased with all things considered.

Doggymummar · 22/07/2023 12:24

Wow well done @BangingOn losing weight on holiday is some commitment

BangingOn · 22/07/2023 12:32

Thanks @Doggymummar I am not quite sure how I did it as I felt like I was eating loads, but I was swimming a lot and I think my perception of what loads of food is has really shifted.

Doggymummar · 22/07/2023 12:45

So I have just spoken to Samantha at numan and she said all existing customers will get their tablets. New customers have about a 4 week delay. If it changes we will be emailed. I still don't feel reassured but I have a month in hand so hopefully it will be ok.

Londonlady365 · 22/07/2023 13:20

@Doggymummar thanks that's interesting. If they are prescribing maybe others are too. I have enough to reach my target weight. But I want to continue at a low dose because I just feel better on it. Less bloating and food cravings.

Londonlady365 · 22/07/2023 13:30

@Starryeyes17 everyone is different. Some people notice the effect straight away, others have felt nothing and some have had terrible side effects. The one downside on holiday is have to take on an empty stomach and 30 mins before food ( at least ). It very expensive to then block absorption and waking early to take it might ruin your holiday. How long until you go? You could start and maybe lose a few lbs but then take a break during holiday? It takes around 4 days to start wearing off.

JaffacakeJanine · 22/07/2023 14:59

@Doggymummar thanks so much for chatting to Numan and sharing here, that reassures me a little that there is a possibility I might get it next month!

Doggymummar · 22/07/2023 15:34

I just hope she wasn't fobbing me off 📴

Starryeyes17 · 22/07/2023 19:27

I’ve got 5 weeks until holiday

NotABeliever · 22/07/2023 22:16

Is click2pharmarcy any good to buy Rybelsus? They seem to have some stock

SilkySuky · 22/07/2023 23:08

@Doggymummar that's reassuring. At least you have had a response from Numan

Pineapplepansy · 23/07/2023 07:01

@Starryeyes17 you should be able to lose 10 pounds before your holiday and you will be used to it enough to make a call on whether you'd want to carry on taking it on holiday. You'll still be able to eat and drink the things you like but you'll probably be satisfied with less.

BangingOn · 23/07/2023 17:53

@NotABeliever I have used Click Pharmacy before with no issues but not sure whether that is the same as Click 2 Pharmacy or not.

NotABeliever · 23/07/2023 18:45

@BangingOn thank you
They are really expensive on click2pharmarcy though. Are websites charging more because of the shortages?

BangingOn · 23/07/2023 18:48

I have bought from Pill Doctor this week and they have put their price up hugely, they said that they are unable to buy at trade prices anymore. I assume anywhere that has stock can basically name their price.

RachelGreensHair · 23/07/2023 20:17

I tried to cancel my rubelsus order with manual and got this back which I think is a copy and paste response.
