User Reviews for Wegovy subcutaneous

In hindsight, all was pretty tolerable until the second week of 1.0mg. After 14 days of feeling increasingly worse (extreme and sudden depression and crippling anxiety, weakness to the point I can barely walk across the house, fatigue, massive brain fog, confusion, dizzy, cold and chills with no fever, rash on arms, swelling in neck, headache, eye pain, blurry vision, jacked up blood pressure) I went to the ER. All sorts of abnormal labs for kidney function, electrolytes, metaboloc acidosis and messed up red blood counts. Prior to that dose, I was doing great, exercising daily, sticking to my lifestyle changes and happy with the results. Now I'm weak and unable to exercise, work, concentrate, feeling unmotivated, tired, moody, and anxious. It feels like I'm literally dying and there's nothing that helps. It's everything I can do to force myself to eat and drink a little bit. This med doesn't help that much to justify feeling like absolute hell, mentally and physically for weeks after stopping it. I see that many people experience the same gigantic kick in the face at the 1.0 to 1.7 mg dose . I wish there was an antidote, I would pay anything to end this torture. I'll do this my dang self once I can muster the strength to move, think clearly, and get out of this quick, hard hitting depression. Sorry brain, sorry kidneys, bye-bye sanity. Read More Read Less

I have been on Wegovy for just over 2 months. I have lost 15 pounds, so I will say it is very effective. I am currently at the 1mg weekly dose, and it is rough. Since the start of this medication, I have had a general "queasy" feeling almost all the time. My appetite is definitely decreased. I have also had some dizziness and fatigue and it has interfered some with my workouts. I was eating low carb and exercising regularly before starting Wegovy, but was at a weight plateau. I started this because of my A1C (prediabetic) and triglyceride levels, and I believe weight loss will help both these numbers. I know to avoid weight regain, I will probably have to be on this indefinitely. At this point, however, I don't think I will go above the current 1mg dose, at least for a few months, because the side effects on this dose are pretty bad. Queasy all the time with intermittent nausea, constipation, fatigue, some dizziness during my workouts. I am hoping with time these will get better as the weight loss continues. I don't want to take Zofran, miralax, and colace forever. Read More Read Less

I have been on Wegovy for a year and a half, minus 4 months when my insurance was denying the claim due to a misunderstanding. I’m giving a review because mostly people with bad reactions leave reviews here and my experience has been overwhelmingly positive. It was working so well for me that I did each dose for a few months before increasing to the next level. I’m just now starting the 2.4mg dose and although I’m nervous, it’s worth it because the results are so good. I had a bmi of 31 when I started and now it’s is 24. I’ve lost about 28% of my body weight and now look and feel great. All my arthritis is gone! I did have some pretty significant nausea and constipation for a few months, but I only vomited once. Some headaches too and just not feeling great. But the longer you’re on it, it seems to get better and I mostly don’t have any side effects anymore. We will see with this new highest dose. When I had to stop for 4 months, I gained back about 14 lbs, so that’s why I started it up again. I intend to stay on it so that I can keep the weight off. Totally worth it, for me, and just hoping I don’t get any serious side effects from long term use. I recommend people try it if they qualify. You never know how your body will tolerate a new medicine and you might get lucky!Read More Read Less

Wow! I'm so glad that I started on Wegovy! I'm on the 1.7 and have lost 31 LBS. I didn't get sick or anything. I do have dry mouth. Please don't let the reviews scare you! It feels amazing to finally loose the weight! In the first .25 dose I did have bathroom problems but that went away.

Starting treatment weight was 302 currently at week 10 of treatment, dose 1.0, weight is 268, intermittent fasting, cardio, and weight training daily. That is 34# in ten weeks and 11% of my total body weight...! Minimal side effects. Excessive dairy and alcohol are not a good idea. This product eliminates cravings... could not have changed bad habits without wegovys help.

The Folks out there that write Negative Reviews against Wegovy. You guys NEED to understand that everyone is built different. If you experienced negative side effects, well , Wegovy is not for you then. But don't trash Wegovy with your negative side effects. I am on my 10th week using Wegovy and Yes there were side effects but after time they do go away. Fatique, tiredness, constipation etc. Give the meds the chance to work first. And YES, you will definitely LOSE WEIGHT. Regards.

I am not obese but have not been at a good weight for 9 years. Have tried all the diets, lost weight but have not been able to keep it off. A friend suggested Wegovy, since she lost weight on it. I asked my doctor and she prescribed it. In the first month I lost 10 lbs. When my prescription went to .5, I started losing weight a lot more slowly and having my first side effect, increased resting heart rate. I don't have any other side effects. With the increase in dosage however, I never feel full. To date, I'm on Wegovy for 7 weeks and have lost 13 lbs. I don't feel any different and am a bit disheartened that the weight loss is not as quick. I work out with a personal trainer twice weekly and go for daily walks. So far, I'm not really impressed.

I have been on Wegovy since the end of March 2023. In 10 weeks I've lost 22lbs, which is over 2lbs a week. This is a TOOL to help you lose weight. I workout 5 days a week, including strength training. I eat around 1200 calories, but that isn't hard, since the medication does curb cravings. I'm one of those people who has always eaten well and exercised, but after years of dieting and excessive restriction (even Anorexia), my body didn't want to work effectively anymore. For the first time maybe ever, I'm able to eat things I wouldn't normally eat, and not gain weight- but in fact, lose. I don't restrict things, but as an overall healthy eater and Vegetarian, this works wonderfully for my lifestyle. People really need to do their research, though. You are meant to slowly titrate up the doses so that you can eliminate or reduce the side effects. There are ways to deal with the side effects when you have them- drink more water, eat plenty of protein, etc. The therapeutic dose doesn't even start til 1.0mg-1.7mg and many do not lose anything until then, so you have to be patient. I'm one of the lucky ones whose had great success from the beginning, but I do lead a healthy lifestyle. I feel like my body is finally working the way it's meant to. Exercise, choose foods to fuel your body, eat lots of protein so you don't lose muscle mass, and be patient. Don't compare your journey to anyone else's. Read More Read Less

I’ve been on this medication for 2 months now and have lost 26lbs. Nauseous and vomiting during the first 2 weeks. My doctor does well with keeping up with my progress and since day one has mentioned increasing my fluid intake. By reading other reviews dehydration seems to be a big issue for people. Hopefully this continues to work for me and I reach my goal with only 24lbs left to lose.

Do not take this. I took the .25 dose at 8:30 and by midnight I have continuously been vomiting. Diarrhea and extreme stomach pain. This is horrible!

I do not recommend Weygovy. I only did the initial shot and was sick soon after and for weeks after (even though I only did the one shot; I discarded the other 3). Im talking relentless nausea, vomiting, fatigue, weakness, zero appetite Which isn’t healthy! I did lose 6lbs in 6 days bc I physically could not eat or drink without being immediately in the bathroom. I ended up in the ER on day 5 and 6 due to dehydration ??

I took my first dose of Wegovy and had some manageable symptoms. Diarrhea, fatigue, cold sensitivity. It did decrease my appetite, but my energy level is so low I can’t exercise. Second dose was worse. I have felt like I have had an ongoing stomach bug for two weeks. I can’t eat anything that’s not clear liquid. I didn’t, and won’t take the third dose. I just hope this goes away!

This sent me to the hospital with dehydration and severe abdominal pain. I have a pretty high pain tolerance, but this abdominal pain was by far the worst I have ever dealt with. I took 4 weeks of 0.25 followed by 1 dose of 0.5 (the correct dose schedule according to manufacturer) and 6 days later I was in the hospital. I have not taken another does since. But- my GI tract is still not right. It took at least one week to deal with the aftermath of the hospital visit, and now, 3.5 weeks out from my last dose, I still get queasy/nauseous 1-2 times weekly, so much so that I have to take Zofran, which barely touches it. And BTW- the nauseousness lasts for at least 12 hours, it's not a quick, passing thing. This "medication" is dangerous even when used correctly. I did read all these reviews before starting so was hesitant but went ahead anyway, and thought after a month that I skirted around any side effects, but I was totally wrong. Never again and don't do it. It's not worth it. Read More Read Less

This has been the worst day of my life. This morning at 7am I did my first shot of .25, but 3pm I had called 911. I have been vomiting non stop since about 2 hours after the injection. My heart rate when EMS arrived was 155, I was having chest pain and palpitations. I was dizzy and delirious. My local EMS said they see this a few times a week from wegovy, the ER dr said he sees it daily. I had focused on hydrating the 4 days before the injection and was even fasting I took it. Please reconsider taking this Read More Read Less

Let me first say that digestivelly, I have never been more miserable in my life than I was on this "medication." Wegovy gave me abdominal cramps so bad I had to go an ER. I was very dehydrated and in so much pain. Luckily my CT was normal, but my WBC was elevated. Maybe this is some other side effect that will start being reported more often now that half the population seems to be taking it. I started at the 0.25 and did that weekly for 4 weeks. During that time, I was ok but constantly felt somewhat bloated and would burp way more than what would be considered normal. Then came 0.5, one dose. 6 days later I was in the ER. It's now 1 week later, and my GI tract is still not normal. I am glad some people had success with this but for me, my life was way better before this medication. I'll take 15# overweight and feeling great to this any day. My next visit is to a GI doctor. I just hope there is no permanent damage.Thanks for the misery, Wegovy. Never again. Big pharma can take their bogus, fabricated BMI and stick it.Read More Read Less

This drug has helped me to reach a healthier weight. I have not had any side effects. I could not have done this without this drug.

I was terrified to start this because of the reviews I read. So far I have had minimal side effects. I’m more sensitive to the cold, sometime have indigestion and definitely have constipation that I need to take colace for but besides that I have no other side effects. I have loss 14lbs in 4 weeks. I am combining this with weight watchers so I am pretty careful about what I’m eating. Wegovy seems to make it possible for me to avoid the cravings I generally have. Part of it has been fear of getting sick from all the reviews but I think it’s also that it makes me feel pretty full longer. I do still experience hunger but I am definitely able to eat way less and still feel satisfied. my insurance covers it and it’s working so I’m happy to continue on the same dosage for another course (4 weeks). My doctor sees no reason to increase as it’s working and not making me sick. Read More Read Less

So I just started 1.7 today. I think the is a great TOOL for weight loss. I am down 50 lbs. I call it a tool because its still a lot of work. I have been on this 12 weeks. I started at 320 and am down to 270 with not many side effect. I have twice overate 2 times while taking this medicine first time bad heartburn through the night last time was last night even though I knew better. I had acid reflux and 1/2 way into the night I through up. You would have thought I learned my lesson. So I have had a few headaches and diarrhea bur nothing to hard. Losing 50 lbs I feel so much better and with the 1.7 I have noticed I don't feel hungry at all today. I am so glad I started this and my wife is on it she felt nauseous her first day on .50 dose but at a little and was fine. I am a believerRead More Read Less

I did one month of each MG and have lost a total of 24 pounds. I initially lost 9 pounds the first month while on the .25. During the second month while on .50 I lost nothing(I also didn’t exactly give any effort). After starting the 1.0 I started losing weight again, towards the end of the month my weight loss started to slow down again. I am now on my first month of the 1.7 and am losing weight again. For the first time I have a side effect of fatigue. But what do you expect when you don’t eat? This will be my last month as I have hit my goal. Overall I am happy and would recommend. Only negatives is the price and the fatigue once I started the 1.7.Read More Read Less

At first I was nervous about the needle, but the first time I used it I didn’t feel a thing. Very easy to use. The appetite suppression began right away, no nausea, no constipation, no diarrhea. I just took my second dose, and so far I am down 8 pounds. This is just after my first week. Could be a fluke, could be a difference between scales, I am going to weigh myself again at the doctors office using their scale where I initially weighed in, for a more accurate comparison. Overall I’m very pleased. No insomnia. No cravings. I’m definitely eating less and feeling better. My clothes are also telling the tale, fitting much better with no bloating. Read More Read Less
