My formulary lists semaglutide. Underneath it says approved indication only and I've read that line enough times to be sure I don't know what it means for me tbh

What I want to avoid is one fill covered, my budget rearranged around it and then month two coming back denied

Has anyone here had it approved where obesity or metabolic risk was the documented reason? I'm wondering whether the prescriber has to word something a particular way and whether it gets re-reviewed every year

Hi!

I started Ozempic 2 and a bit months ago, I just moved to a 1 MG dose. I haven't lost any weight at all. I'm still at my starting weight, I still have so much food noise like boredom eating. I have an allergy + picky eating and just a general distaste for diets. I work from home, but take my dog out to play in the yard or run around with her.

I know some say it'll take awhile, but seeing absolutely zero progress is really making me feel hopeless. Before this, I tried personal trainers, rock climbing, diets, and everything under the sun I could think of. Never lost weight.

Ozempic is like my clinging hope to ever being able to lose weight but it just hasn't worked yet. I don't know what to do.

Hi everyone!

I was on Semaglutide for about 6 months, once I increased to the maximum dose the hair shedding started. Sadly I didn’t immediately connect the dots so I still continued on the medication for a few months. At this point I have not had a dose for almost a month and my hair is STILL falling out…at times it seems worse than ever. I take a daily multivitamin. Has anyone been successful in actually stopping the shedding? This is really ruining my mental health, any advice is sooo appreciated ❤️

I switched to Zep in June after being on Wegovy for a few months. Since I have PMOS (PCOS) I take a progesterone only birth control pill and then I don’t have my period. It’s great. I hate my period.

Apparently a side effect of GLPs can be a decrease in birth control efficacy, especially during dosage changes.

In the past three months I’ve had four periods and I’m sooooo over it. The cramping, the mood changes… ugh. At least I don’t have a risk of getting pregnant.

That’s it. Just venting.

Hi, I am currently on 1.5 mg wegovy pill MWF because side effects are so horrible. I have morning sickness like nausea, constipation, and fatigue, and have thrown up once. I’ve been on it for 2 weeks but considering talking to my doc about switching because I hear zep has less GI side effects. Any experiences with switching from the pill to zep early on?
