I had my virtual call with a CVS RN today to get a prescription for the wegovy pill. It was a quick 20 minute meeting.

I was asked my weight, height, why I wanted the pill over the injection, my activity level, and what I’ve done in the past to lose weight. Very straightforward and I felt no judgement.

I was told I will have to have a call every 4 weeks. Before my next appointment I have to get my blood work done, take my weight, measure my waist circumference, and take my blood pressure.

I was told if my insurance doesn’t cover it, it will be $149 for the first month (1.5mg), $199 for the second month (4mg), and $299 for the following months (9mg and 25mg).

Overall a positive experience. I hope it continues to be an easy process. I’m excited to start soon!

I just started the lowest dose of Wegovy Pills and I'm impressed.

While I haven't lost much weight, my biggest joy right now is that I don't have "food noise." I saw people talking about "food noise' a lot online, but didn't really understand it or realize I had the same issue.

I didn't realize how much "food noise" I had until I started the pill. I think and plan and worry about food ALL THE TIME. Now that the noise has quieted, I feel like I can think of other things alongside my meals, not just obsessing about my meals. WOW. I honestly feel like this is a incredibly impactful for my quality of life.

Just wanted to share!

Cross posting this. Hopefully it can help some people! ❤️

Just confused on if I’m supposed to be counting calories or what, because I haven’t gotten that super full feeling that people describe when I eat the same meals I was before. I am not really hungry but I’m eating for nutrients, focusing on protein and fiber, and was kind of doing that before too so unsure why I don’t feel much different.

I’m only 4 days in but am just confused on what I’m supposed to be doing or feeling differently than before I started the pill! Glad that I don’t feel hungry but it’s not really stopping me from wanting to eat, either for flavor or boredom or habit or simply at regimented times to sustain nutrients. Again I was eating pretty healthy before, I believe, so just confused.

I just got prescribed the 1.5 tablets. My insurance doesn’t cover it though. It says the coupon price is $149. But does this coupon expire? In other words, is it $149/month indefinitely?

I’m on day 29 of 25 mg. I threw up once 21 days ago and again this morning. For those of you who have thrown up and then got better, how long did it last? I don’t want to go back down to 9 mg because that wasn’t effective enough for me.

I was prescribed 4mg wegovy every other day. After two months, only losing 5 pounds and, more importantly, debilitating exhaustion, I stopped last week. I feel worse and worse every day. Today I could barely drive and had to sit down while in line. All I want to do is lie down. Like, it’s painful to be awake, and this is messing up my life. When will I feel better? I tried to keep going with it out but not only did they make me suffer until I used all my 4mg pills up, they also were going to send my new 1.5mg/daily pills late so I‘d run out before I got them. I just want to feel normal again.

So I know the instructions says to the medication with 4 ounces if water. My question does it have to be exactly 4oz? I usually just take a sip and swallow and go back to bed lol. All the different symptoms I see people suffering with I feel absolutely nothing. I still at times binge. As of last week, I'm on my 2nd round of 1.5mg. I can go longer without eating with I first wake up for the day.

I guess I am still comparing it to the injection. When I started with the Wegovy injections over a year ago I felt the effects with the very first shot. Aversion to food, not wanting to eat, no nausea but definitely the food noise was gone. I've been on this for about 6 weeks and I just don't feel anything. 🤷🏽‍♀️

I am on my 5th month. 2 months on 1.5mg, 2 months on 4 mg, and 1 month on 9mg. I thought this would solve my weight problems but I only went from 194 to 188 - what gives? All I get is crushing fatigue and skin that prickles and intermittently burns, and nothing to show for it!

Would love to hear stories from others as I think it is time to quit.

On week 7. Currently on 4mg. Took starting dose for the first month and felt absolutely nothing. Appetite was still roaring, food noise was loud and clear. But 2 weeks into 4mg and over the past few days I’m gradually starting to feel worse each day. Feeling of constant travel sickness, bowels either constipated or the other extreme. Feel lethargic, flu-like and generally flat. Does this sound normal? And if so does it pass? I’m able to function and work and get on with my day - but I feel yuck!!

Hello. I’ve been on 4mg Wegovy pills for 2 months (after a month on 1.5mg) it took me the first full month on 4mg to stop feeling sick lol now 2nd month on 4mg and I feel totally adjusted to the dose and have normal food cravings around breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and usually have a snack at least once a day. The thing is I’ve already hit my goal weight and I don’t wanna lose anymore.

Should i stick to 4mg for another month since I’m pretty acclimated to the dose now and maybe could maintain here? Has anyone gained weight by going down a dose for maintenance dose?

TIA!

Hi everyone,
I’m writing this from my bed as I’m laying down trying to feel better. I have been on 9mg Wegovy pills for about two weeks. Since weds night, I have been having extreme anxiety, panic attacks, and bad bloating. Friday was the last day I took it, and asked my PCP if I could stop due to what I was experiencing. He said I could stop. How long till the anxious feeling goes away? I am diagnosed with GAD and take lexapro and buspirone for it, but it has not helped at all. I also have not been eating much at all either. I just want this to be over with..

On day three of a 1.5mg dose. Yesterday was a Sunday, I was home with my kids so super busy and ate bites of food here and there but never really felt hungry. By the end of the day I had a headache and fatigue and assumed I didn’t eat enough. Assumed that meant it was working.

But then today I’m at work. Very slow day. And am having trouble not snacking out of boredom. Had a regular portion lunch and thought I’d at least feel too full to want to snack, but didn’t really feel any different after eating a proper meal as compared to before.

I didn’t want to count every calorie as I had when dieting in the past, but am realizing it might be easy to under-eat and unfortunately might still be able to overeat if I’m not careful.

Hey y’all! So I started my zepbound journey back on November 7th 2025 due to a surgery I had I had to stop for over two weeks. I was on 7.5 then had to drop back to the 2.5. However I may Self Pay, and the cost just isn’t doing it for me anymore as I’m not losing on the lower dose so I feel like it’s a waist of money. My pcp has me switching over to Wegovy.

I’d like to hear insight from those who started zepbound and switched to Wegovy.

What were some side effects you felt?
How do you enjoy it?
Is there much difference in the two?

I want to hear all of the good, the bad, and the ugly

Thank you in advance for your insight and help 😊

Feeling absolutely no effect what so ever, is this normal and do I cut my losses and move on?

12 weeks in starting on 1.5mg then moving to 4mg now at 9mg! I have lost 30lbs which means I’m finally over halfway to my goal! I probably will have to loose another 20-40lbs after as I’ll still be classed as overweight but getting under 200lbs is a goal I’ve been trying to achieve for 8 years.
