One year on Wegovy!

For those of you on Ozempic, what dose are you finding effective? My doctor started me at 0.25mg, then 0.5mg, increased to 1.0mg, and now I'm at 2.0mg. It seems high, especially since I was seeing results at a lower dose. I've lost 15 pounds in 2 months. I'm a little worried about side effects at this level.

Good question! I'm on Wegovy not Ozempic, but the dosages are probably similar I would guess? Hopefully someone with more experience can answer!
 
I was on semaglutide before and lost about 28 pounds, which was my goal. Then I stopped the shots for maintenance, but gained it all back. I should have realized it's a long term thing!

That's a common experience. Many people find that these medications are most effective as a long-term tool for managing weight. It's great that you're back on it!
 
I'm also starting a second round. The first time, it worked great, but now I'm not seeing any results. Anyone else experience this?

Yeah, that happened to me too. You may have to increase the dose. I'm on my second time around as well, and I'm at 1.25mg when the first time I never needed more than 0.75mg!
