I am glad to hear this. I did not see any real weight loss until after the first 8 weeks when I increased my dosage to 1.0. On the lower dose I only lost about 3lbs snd my doc told me I wasn't losing enough. I have now lost about 10lbs. I'm in my second week of 1.0 coumpound semaglutide.

I have binge eating disorder and am on semaglutide for weight loss (I'm not diabetic). When I started I had some appetite/craving suppression even on the starter .25 dose, and lost 15 lbs in 2 months. Third month I seemed to adjust to the drug and my appetite came back. Now I'm 5 months in and having no appetite suppression at all after two months on .5. I am getting ready to go to 1, but I am concerned about the possible systemic affects of the extra insulin production and lower glucose on someone who is not diabetic. I have recently experienced a few episodes of light-headedness and weakness which I think may be my blood sugar getting too low. I am also more and more fatigued. Maybe this drug is not for me?

Question: due to allergies to most anti-inflammatories, when I have dental work, I am prescribed Tylenol3– is that a problem while on GLP1 medication? Thank you.

I began ozempic 1 mg ( I had begun at 2.5 then .5 mg ) but I ended up in hospital for a broken leg and my surgeon didn’t want me to continue at this time until after surgery. My question is can I start up again at the 1mg strength or do I have to return to the lowest dose? I’m on ozempic for type two diabetes. It has been almost two weeks since my last dose, I will probably end up missing it for a total of 3 weeks. What is your opinion?
