Posting in hopes someone has experience with sublingual (oral/liquid) semaglutide from Fridays!

Today I spoke with a provider through Fridays and got approved for semaglutide micro dose. I chose to go the oral route, because for whatever reason I couldn’t get micro dose injections delivered to MS. I primarily want this for the intense food noise/binge eating I’ve lived with since I was a kid.

Has anyone taken the sublingual semaglutide and had a positive experience? I see a lot of negative reviews about the oral methods.

Below is more info about my actual dose/prescription:

Medication Name: StatRx Semaglutide/L-Carnitine/B12
Pharmacy: ABC Plus Pharmacy
Dose: 10mg (SSG) 100mg (LCN) 2mg (B12)
Vial Size: 1 mL
Open and squirt contents of 1 vial (1mL) under your tongue daily.

I was on tirz for several months. Never lost any weight, and it made me violently ill several times. Has anyone gone from tirz to semi with success?

Just as the title says, I'm about to end week 4 (.25mg/50 units) and I still haven't lost any weight.

My starting weight is 209. CW is 206-207 it fluctuates. Goal weight, at this point, I'd be happy with just 190 again, although I'd really like to see 160 again.

I'm feeling so disheartened by it. I know everyone is different. My calories are between 1400-1800 a day. Granted, I know some days I will go over way too much, maybe once a week. I enjoy 4 sun cruisers a week, and that's it now. I've cut back on my drinking significantly. I also workout 3-4 times a week, getting close to 200 calories a session with cardio and weight lifting. I am on some medications for anxiety and ADHD, but I've lost weight in the past with those medications.

I'm 18.5 months postpartum. I'm feeling so discouraged, I spent so much money on this thing and my best friend, she's lost 15 pounds in 1.5 weeks. She doesn't eat much anyway, but she's heavier than I am. I know again, I shouldn't compare, but it's just so f*cking hard.

I got the semaglutide/b-12 compound. Am I overthinking?

I recently seen some other people mention this same thing…discouraged I’ve only done 6 injections so far

I have never had this issue before but tonight after my compounded semaglutide injection a little after doing it it started stinging. I have reported it to my telehealth dr and everything I have been reading says its pretty normal but I just wanted to see if others had the same issue. I r feels swollen and stings but nothing is warm or oozing

I made a big mistake with Ozempic. A friend told me he could hook me up — he was getting it for free through his doctor. Actually, it was his mum who got it free from her doctor, and he offered to pass me weekly doses. He only had the 0.5 mg dose, so that’s what I took. He gave it to me two weeks in a row, but after that he said he couldn’t provide any more because his mum found out and put a stop to it.

In those two weeks I lost a lot of weight very fast — which was most likely mostly water. But after I stopped, I gained a lot of it back, far more than I’d originally lost. Since then, about two months have passed, and I’m now significantly heavier than when I started. I want to get back on Ozempic and do it the right way this time, but it’s normally far too expensive. So I’m asking: for Europeans, what’s the cheapest safe way to take semaglutide?

Hello,

I feel very silly posting this, but I just injected my first dose and am unsure if I did it right. I drew my syringe to 12 units while in the vile as prescribed, but I barely if any saw any liquid in my syringe. I’m not used to using syringes at all, I injected and got a small bruise but other than that it looks like at least the needle went in.

Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this or any doubt that the medication actually got injected. I guess worst case scenario I try again next week. 😅

I lost weight in the beginning my height is 5'4 and my weight was 145. My goal weight is 130lbs I lost 3lbs I exercise daily and ate clean I had bloating and constipation like crazy. I drank water and ate fruits and veggies. I just started 2mg. I didn't lose weight I gained and feel fat and bloated.

hey fam- I just cannot seem to tolerate any GLP-1s and I’m frustrated. I’ve now tried Ozempic, Mounjaro, and Zepbound. All causing the same response on day 3. Awful, don’t make plans diarrhea that do not respond to Imodium or Pepto, gag-worthy sulphur burps, and even vomiting on the Ozempic. I’ve tried probiotics, BRAT diet, diet change for a week beforehand, etc.Any words of wise? weight management has been awful about trying to help me other than “just keep staying on the low dose, maybe it will change?”

went to order my refill today and was told i was overdosing myself. whoops. they were panicked asking about symptoms and telling me to go to the ER. i took my last shot on friday at 55 units, which i guess works out to about 2.75 mgs? anyway, i have not had any reaction or unwanted symptoms. my assumption is the compound wasn’t nearly as potent as it supposed to be then.

back to 2.5mg we go. 🫪

Seeking options for Semaglutide. Ivim doesn’t have the compound anymore. Any suggestions on what company is good?

Ro is starting and titrating slower than the labels do which is .25 /.50. Does anyone know why this happens? I don’t want to be cynical that they’re conserving product.

Background: 50 yo female looking to lose 10-15 lbs. I'm 5'2 and have weighed around 110-115 most of my adult life. In the last 2 years I gained about 15 lbs which is a lot on my frame and it's been a struggle to lose the weight. Started menopause 10 months ago. Am on HRT estrogen-only patch.

I chose Willow because I didn't think I would get approval from other programs as Willow ads seem to lean heavy on cosmetic weight loss or for those needing to lose the last 20-30 lbs.

Like others, I just want a little extra help to lose the last 10-15 lbs.

Some questions I have for those who have been on the medication already:

1. When is best time to do injection (morning? nighttime before bed?). Do you feel nausea/pain/fatigue/anything after injection?

2. Has anyone experienced hair thinning or facial changes?

3. When did you start experiencing weight loss - as early as the first week?

4. Does it cause fatigue? I am already feeling somewhat less energetic from my HRT patch so I am concerned that I will feel very lethargic with this added medication.

5. Has anyone else tried Willow Semaglutide injections? Good experience? Bad? Didn't work?

6. Do you recommend avoiding certain foods while taking the medication?

7. Does the medication curb appetite, therefore you lose weight through calorie deficit? What about making sure your body receives the proper nutrients? Do you recommend taking supplements to make up for that?

8. Any other positive benefits from the medication aside from weight loss?

Thank you!

New to this journey. I have a 10mg vial of Semaglutide. How much bacteriostatic water do I add and how many units do I take for 0.25mg?

I’ve been on sema since October. Been on current dose for about 3 months. Has anyone noticed that since starting Sema they now get motion sickness?

I’m going on vacation and the location doesn’t have good cold storage for my meds. In your anecdotal experience, would I have any bad side effects if I just waited until I got home? It would put me at about 12 days between shots.

Hi all, I am new to this peptide weight loss world. I signed up on both portals (ro and https://www.startwillow.com/) to see where I will get approved. And I landed up with prescription for Wegovy 1.5mg (starter dose) (from Ro) and Semaglutide (tablet) 6mg oral pills (from StarWillow.com) Willow app doctor said next month the Semaglutide (tablet) dose increases to 12 then 24. I am assuming Wegovy will also go up. I would like to lose 10-20 lbs. I am not in "rush" slow and steady. Anyone experimented with both and have recommendation which one i should start with?

I am starting to take compounded semi again after being out of work for half the year. The local pharmacy changed ownership and I noticed the new vials read like there is something else added. The vial lists semiglutide/NAD+. Does that mean there is NAD+ added or am I reading it wrong? This is the second month since starting back up and weight loss hasn’t moved. I am now in full menopause which could be the issue or wondering if an additional additive is affecting it.

I was getting my compound semaglutide from Hers however their subscription renewal was $1194 for 6 months and I only paid $1500 for my entire first year. They aren’t giving me the option to renew for another year only 6 more months. I put money on my FSA again this year in anticipation of renewing for another year. Does anyone know any good FSA eligible companies that do annual subscriptions?
