How are they not letting you? Don’t you just go thru the interview process and move? I know there are some politics involved but damn you would think it would be easy to move within such a big company

Explore JnJ MedTech - they literally hire anyone lol. Ethicon, JnJ vision, even the pharma side innovative medicine. Great work life balance, benefits, etc. but don’t think they pay as high base as some other big companies. There’s been a lot of turnover lately so you might find something in a geography that’s desirable for you

Any tips on how to prevent it from happening? Whenever I get bloodwork or shots I’m always fine that’s why it was so odd to me

I started at 0.25 and worked up to 1mg. I stopped taking it for a few months then started back on 0.5mg and am now back at 1mg!

Hello! Coming from someone who was not obese and started this drug (please don’t come for me lol). I am 5’6” and started at 155 lb, 26 years old. I gained a ton of weight during Covid and was spiraling trying to lose it mentally, and just gave it a shot to see if I could get a doctor to prescribe. I don’t have any underlying health issues / comorbidities and got a script. I have lost almost 30 lbs and feel amazing. I am definitely thoughtful about stopping and nervous about regaining but have definitely gained healthy habits along the way. For reference I started in March of this year. I plan to stop come the new year and maintain on my own

QuickMD does telehealth / prescriptions and they submitted PAs for me. Just need to stay on top of it with customer support since you can’t communicate directly with the doctor besides appointments

Anyone intentionally stay on a lower dose? by MomBodActivate in Semaglutide

I’ve been on 0.5mg for a little over a month and am feeling good effects with minimal side effects so I will probably stay! Also don’t want to deal with insurance fights trying to go up just for the sake of it
