User Reviews for Wegovy (semaglutide)

Lost 13 lbs in 3 weeks. It tells me when I've had enough by making me feel repulsed but only when I've reached my limit, which is a lot less than I thought it would be. It also has taught me not to eat at bedtime or I will get stomach pains and have sulphur burps. This all sounds horrible but it's the kick in the butt that I needed to teach me that I don't need so much food. Had ice cream the other day, my all time favourite food, had about 4 bites and i was fine with that and gave the rest away. Not because I was trying to have will power but because I genuinely just didn't want it. The key is to make sure you eat something small if you forget to eat or you will feel sick, don't eat before bed and stop fretting about calories, just make healthy decisions, supplement with protein shakes if you really can't eat.Read More Read Less

This drug hasn’t helped me loose hardly any weight. I’m 4 months in and only 10 pounds down. I still don’t get full

Week 13 / Just started on 2.4 Wegovy having started with the lowest dose. Current weight loss at 38lbs / 17kilos. Persistent side effects - heart burn, and belching - Bad stomach pains if I eat to much in one sitting, tired / lethargic. Certainly takes away food cravings for me. Apart from that I feel fantastic, hip pain when walking has gone! Good luck to those trying

Love Wegovy! Minus the terrible migraines (which are easily solved by a BC), low sex drive, mood swings, and expensive price…. I still love it! I weighed 225 when I first started (5 months ago) and I currently weigh 135 which was my pre FIVE kiddos weight!!!!! I am able to fit into some pants I still had from my high school days (18 years ago) It’s amazing! I bought weights and exercise tools from 5 Below and downloaded a couple light workout apps. I also work at Sonic and deliver 200 or more orders a day so that may have what helped me a little too. I started eating yogurt, nuts, and straight protein and drinking a ton of water a day! On average I would lose 7-12 pounds in a month which does lead to saggy skin (not much) but hey it does work. However, weening off I feel awful…. Yes, it’s expensive but it IS worth it! You’ll get a tonnnnnnn of compliments when you start dropping weight too! ??Read More Read Less

My doctor started me off on the highest dose possible. I have been extremely sick for 5 days now. Cant eat or drink. Extremely dehydrated. Severe diarrhea. Every symptom they list I have. Haven’t been able to leave my house in 5 days. Would never suggest this medicine to anyone

I’ve been on the medicine for 4 months I’m at 1.7 mg. I have experienced some side effects. I lost 17 lbs. but at an unhealthy cost. My stomach has turned into painful cramping, nausea, diarrhea. . but I’m not enjoying life. Up all night in the bathroom. Loosing sleep no energy. I decided to stop. I want my life back. I’m at 200lbs. I was prescribed this for liver disease (fatty liver) . I’m happy for the people who are taking this and having positive results. But I’m just miserable.

0.25 did nothing. 0.5 omg! It’s like my body has become intolerant to ALL junk food! Even just 1 bite of junk food and my stomach is in knots. I now crave fruit and water! I’ve actually become repulsed by junk food and I’m only on day 2 of 0.5. And in Australia it costs me around $200 for a month. I say definitely go for it. I’ve lost 4 kilos in 4 weeks so far.

This medication works. I've gone from 184lbs to 155lbs in 19 weeks. I'm pre-diabetic. Dieting and exercise never worked for me. I was miserable in my own skin. I couldn't lose weight - even after months on a 1000-calorie /day diet. My side effects are minimal (occasional nausea) now. I did have a lot of nausea to start with - but 'morning sickness' home remedies worked. The benefits are amazing! I used to be so out of breath when I'd do anything strenuous - not any more. I'm comfortable in my own skin again. My BP is down! I'm completely satisfied with small portions and have zero cravings. If this doesn't work for you - or if you have bad side effects - perhaps Wegovy isn't the right treatment for you. Perhaps the side effects are due to another medication you take? After losing 20 lbs, I was lightheaded and dizzy. It wasn't the Wegovy - it was because I no longer needed BP medication. I stopped the BP med and immediately the dizziness was gone. I hope my review helps you! Read More Read Less

I received a second box of Wegovy 0.25mg. Three out of the four syringes did not work. Wegovy helpline would not give me voucher for replacement syringes because their policy is the prescribing physician must increase your dosage every four weeks. Since that not happen with my doctor (I have kidney disease & fibromyalgia) so he wanted me on 0.25mg for 8 weeks. As this is against company's prescribing policy, I am out of luck. Will have to pay for med myself as I know the insurance company would not cover an issue with the product. Or be without medicine for 3 weeks. Wegovy is spending millions of dollars on advertising & making billions in profits from Wegovy, but won't give me a voucher for their defective product over difference of opinion on prescribed dose.Read More Read Less

59 yr old female. Starting weight 194. 16 weeks in, lost 32 lbs. Averaging about 2 lbs a week. Love this product. Had to switch to Seniglude after 8 weeks. Much cheaper. My insurance would not cover it. Could not afford $600 a month. Should be cheaper so that everyone is able to acces this medicine. Has been a real life changer. So glad I tried this!!

Im on day 4 of week 1 so far Ive been feeling fine, today I started itching and Im getting a rash. Today is also the first day I wasnt hungry. No other side effects.

I have been on Wegovy now for 4 months. I list 5 pounds. In the beginning it made me not hungry. In month six it’s doing nothing and dose increased. I’m thinking about giving it one more month. Gave me dry mouth, do sleep and always feel weird like something is wrong with me. Pass on Wegovy. Not worth it so far.

Just started on Monday night of Sept 16. I have not felt anything. Still eating the same. Do you need to wait and if so, for how long until it start to kick in??

Week 1. About the 5th and 6th day of taking it, I cannot express the extreme body pain I had in the mornings when I wanted to get out of bed. I had to call for one of my kids to help me and I am not even 50 yet. It hurt to move and it was impossible to even get into some form of motion. 2 Weeks and a day past the injection of the first shot and I have like this boil where the injection site was. It is still there and it is purplish read. Thank goodness I never took shot #2. This is definitely not for everyone. Be very aware that this will either help you or feel like it is killing you. Those are the extremes I am reading in reviews. I win the bad lottery on this one. Good Luck if you take it.Read More Read Less

If you want to die take this!!!! I took this for less than a month…still suffering 6 mths later…I have been to the ER 26 times with this pain that is killing me…there is no structural damage or reason why or what the pain is coming from This is a slow death!!!!!

This is terrible. Around 3 AM you will wake up with an obnoxious commercial screaming at you. WEGOVY!!!?? Stop. Please with the ??

I am one week in and down 3 lbs. I have only been eating chicken, veg and fruit and some crackers. As for negative side effects, once bit of a headache and OTC worked. Some heart burn but antacids worked. One thing I noticed on my last day the appetite suppressant effects seem to have dwindled and I have to make sure I stick with my diet. Over all, after 1 week use, I am quite pleased.

I'm 46 years old and I was 89kg and I'm 166cm in height. Had appendix out and lost 3kg over that week. Started wegovy 13/08/2024. Easy to use. I recommend the thigh. Had a bit of a rush, slight headache afterwards. Almost immediately I had no appetite. I only have to eat a little and I'm full. I have to force myself to eat something. Drinking loads of water in the mean time. Taking magnesium as side effects said constipation may happen and magnesium always helps me to go. It is Thursday and I have already lost 2.3kg. I'm now 83.7kg. I'm so happy and excited and can't wait to get back to 69kg where I've always been prior to having my son who is 2. Oh and once I heal, I'll be back in the gym again which I have not been in for awhile. So that will speed up the process. So far so good. Read More Read Less

I experienced nearly all physical side effects listed as common but also had neck pain and sinus issues.

Starting taking this med back in February of 2024. Had to stop because insurance stopped paying for it. Now 6 months later I am having tingling in my hands and feet. All blood test are really good and nothing has shown up that has changed. Didn't have any tingling until I took Wegovy. It's a shame because I lost 35 pounds in just that short time and stayed on the low dose. Tingling is awful. I wouldn't recommend taking this med.
