Switching from Zepbound to Ozempic

Been covering zepbound entirely out of my own pocket and it's worked really well, lost 15 pounds in two months. However, might need to switch over to ozempic since that one's actually covered by insurance. Curious if anyone's made this exact switch and seen comparable results between the two. Worried the new one won't perform quite as well. Late thirties female here, current weight sitting in the high 200s. Not interested in compounded options at this point.
 
Moved from Wegovy over to Zepbound a year back, having done a full year on Wegovy beforehand. Both worked great for me, though Wegovy gave me nausea every single titration bump while Zepbound never did.

Had to restart Zepbound back at its lowest dose, fine by me since both meds kicked in right away for me. Dropped 2 lbs weekly from day one through roughly the first 16 weeks on Wegovy, then eased to half a pound to a pound weekly. Was nearly at my original target when I switched over, figured I'd just aim for maintenance on Zepbound, ended up shedding another 20ish anyway and I'm basically back at my high school number now (50 years old here).

Food noise never returned, a year into Zepbound and I'm holding steady at just 10mg.
 
Switched from 2mg Ozempic over to Zepbound last month. Insurance dropped coverage for Ozempic, so I'm paying out of pocket for Zepbound through WW instead. Started at 2.5mg and so far, no symptoms at all, but also zero weight loss yet. Bumping to 5mg this Wednesday, hoping that's where I start seeing something.
