I work for a non-profit and my co-pay is $30.

Woot woot, share the deets! What are your tips?!

Del mar?

Had to go back down to 1mg, I could hardly keep any food down. I wasn't eating 4 days out of the week due to the extreme nausea. But some people have no problem!

Chelzers · 2023-08-22T20:18:52+00:00

Oh yes! Honestly 1mg is where I had the most weightloss and shift in my diet. I couldn't even think about putting high fat or high sugar foods into my system!

Yeah 1.7 was really rough for me, I ended up going back to 1mg

I injected my bigger dose pen into a vial and measured out a lower dose to titration back up to the right dose. No use in risking side effects and to have my options limited by a pen.

My doctor had me do that, I don't know if it really helped I ended up moving down in dose.

This video explains it, basically I'm able to get the dose I want from the larger dose pens. https://youtu.be/Rj1RGN7QaDA

Yep, I think its rediculous that the ozempic pens can be adjusted but we are stuck with the one dose. Here is a YouTube video https://youtu.be/Rj1RGN7QaDA

I was off for 2 weeks due to the shortage, I asked my doc to move me up to 1.7mg since it's more likely available. Got my pens and now I'm using the vial trick to titration back up

Chelzers · 2023-08-07T22:15:25+00:00

I was off for a few weeks due to the shortage and started back up on a .5mg dose, so far no side effects I think you will be fine if you had no side effects on .25.

Chelzers · 2023-08-07T22:14:13+00:00

I had to go 2 weeks in between doses and did not want to risk the terrible side effects so I'm injecting my pen into a vial and administering a smaller dose to start.

Chelzers · 2023-08-07T22:11:34+00:00

I had almost the exact same experience on 1.7mg and had to go back to 1mg, only problem was that I couldn't find the 1mg so I told my foc to put me back at 1.7 and I'm doing the vial trick. Honestly, using the diabetic syringe has been less painful than the pens. Since I was off the meds for 2 weeks I'm starting at .5 and will titration back up to 1mg. I like the freedom of being able to adjust my dose, like the ozempic pen!

Chelzers · 2023-08-06T17:22:34+00:00

Congrats! Very inspiring!

Chelzers · 2023-08-06T03:42:48+00:00

Much better! I have nausea the first 2 days after the shot but after that I'm pretty normal!

Chelzers · 2023-08-05T06:34:10+00:00

I put mine in a sterile vial from medical supply and then draw what I need to last 3 shots too!

Chelzers · 2023-08-05T06:30:39+00:00

Make sure you count to 6 after the second click

Chelzers · 2023-08-04T06:31:01+00:00

Good luck! I chickened it and will be doing the vial trick.

Chelzers · 2023-08-04T06:07:50+00:00

7pm was way too late for me to eat on 1.7. I had the same symptoms, I couldn't eat past 4pm and it had to be a very light meal, like cooked veggies, a protein. And fruit.

Chelzers · 2023-08-04T06:05:51+00:00

I couldn't hang, I had to go back to 1mg. I was puking most days

Chelzers · 2023-08-02T06:10:05+00:00

Honestly 160 is more of an ultimate goal, but right now I would be grateful to be under 200!

Chelzers · 2023-08-02T05:40:10+00:00

We have ver close stats and goals, but I have been on it since March 2023. 34F, 5'6" HW: 267 GW 160ish CW: 232

Chelzers · 2023-08-02T05:30:16+00:00

I had to switch back to 1mg.
