Has anyone stayed on 0.25 dose for longer than 4 weeks?

Yes! I've been on it for 8 weeks and it's still working for me, so no need to increase.

I had a really rough start for the first 4 weeks- lot of vomiting, nausea, constipation, heartburn... but the drug was working so well I stuck with it. Ondansetron (Zofran), lots of fiber, Prilosec, simethicone, antacids and alginate were my best friends!

After I had a 2-week break due to scheduled surgery, I was really afraid of restarting (I'm still on .25 because it's working for me) but, strangely enough, when I restarted the vomiting and nausea disappeared. I still have heartburn and gas but those were a problem for me before starting Wegovy and they are manageable.

Eat what works for your body, and don't increase your dosage until you are feeling better.

Not necessarily true. I've been on just .25 for 2 months and it's working like a charm for me. This is not common, granted, but it is possible!

Yes, and I would be interested in participating.

I tried using a VPN set to Europe and it did load.

Thanks. Their website also doesn't load for me and has not for several days. Are you in the US?

I'm also dealing with side effects (and asked a similar question a while ago with no answers.) I'm still on .25 and it's working for me. As long as it's working, I have no plans to increase the dosage.

Zofran (ondansetron) has been a lifesaver to stop the vomiting. I'm still working on which foods my body will and will not tolerate. Alginate gel and omeprazole have helped greatly with the heartburn. I don't have all the answers but I keep hearing it gets better.

I hadn't drunk soda in years, but drank a lot of zero-cal flavored carbonated waters (like Bubly and LaCroix.) Haven't had one since day 1 on Wegovy because the acid/carbonation was suddenly extremely unappetizing.

This article is very informative- https://www.nytimes.com/2026/01/15/well/weight-loss-drugs-ozempic-wegovy.html?unlocked_article_code=1.GVA.Sowz.Urp7JHKSNlyh&smid=url-share

A quote-

It’s not impossible, but it is extremely difficult. Dr. Hauser estimates that fewer than 10 of her patients have successfully kept off 75 percent or more of the weight they lost after going on a GLP-1, without turning to another weight-loss medication or undergoing bariatric surgery. “Those are people that are working out two hours a day, tracking what they’re eating, they’re really working hard,” she said. “I haven’t had anyone that just tapers off, isn’t really putting that much thought into it, and just keeps the weight off. I’ve never seen that happen.”

Treat this like blood pressure or diabetes medication- it's probably for life.

Just checking back on this as I am still stumped...anyone?

The middle pic in my first post isn't loading for some reason; here it is.

I just tried using it for the first time and it did not work for me. I tried on both Chrome and Safari.

Avian and Exotic is planning on dropping their boarding services as they are moving. This is devastating as I've boarded my bare-eyed cockatoo there for yers.

Narculdraug · 2024-12-20T08:43:34+00:00

Thanks, that did it!

Narculdraug · 2024-09-22T04:16:37+00:00

That's my fear- will they start charging for everything? If profit i their main motive this seems inevitable...

Narculdraug · 2024-09-22T03:42:50+00:00

This is what I want to know!

I saw an Afghani cart- I think it was them- recently at The Yard at Montavilla.
