I understand it’s being misused by people who don’t need it, particularly in the entertainment industry. But I’m almost 400 lbs and my eating is worse than it’s ever been and I’m just in desperate need to rid myself of this obsession with always eating more no matter what. Does anyone here have any experience with it? I’ve heard it just works by making you nauseous but I’ve read elsewhere that that’s just a common side effect. At this point I’m nauseous most of the time anyway.
I’ve lost 60 pounds in 8 months on compounded semaglutide. I had pretty bad nausea issues a couple months into it, but it might’ve been from making too aggressive of a dosing jump (1.00 mg to 1.5 mg). The other annoyance is the price, as even the compounded stuff is pretty pricey and inuseance is loathe to cover it.
But still, it’s been life-changing for me. Unless a doctor has a good reason to keep you off it, it’s definitely worth a shot
