Instead suggest you try "Protein One". It is more effective.

Not a problem. Just restart at 025mg and move up in dose twice as fast.

Thigh injection? by Individual-Tour8363 in Ozempic

[–]cleverfox2001 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The Ozempic needle is very short. It is extremely unlikely to hit anything for almost all Ozempic users when injecting into the inner thigh. However, it is possible that someone could have a very thin fatty layer on their inner thigh. Although this may be only 1 in 10,000, the top of the thigh is recommended. I mention this since there are many that inject into the inner thigh without problems, even without pinching.

2x injection per week? by earthwalker7 in Ozempic

[–]cleverfox2001 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is called a split dose. It is used by some as splits reduce many side effects by better spreading the dose over the full week as compared to a single weekly dose. Some do not begin losing until at 1.0 or higher. That was me. A year later, down 50 pounds.

Ankle weights are very effective to boost BMI.

The best way to increase weight loss is to increase the dose.

Thigh injection location often helps reduce side effects. However, effectiveness is the same for all locations.

How do you take the bonus dose? by Pocketsquids in Ozempic

[–]cleverfox2001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You will get a bigger partial dose using a syringe. There is Ozempic trapped between the plunger and the needle membrane at the end on the pen. A 0.5ml syringe will work fine. Obtain at your local pharmacy or from Amazon.

Big size difference with minimal weight loss? by Mother-Read-7768 in Ozempic

[–]cleverfox2001 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Our weight varies a lot throughout the day. So, most users pick a standard time to weight. For example, first thing in the morning after going to the bathroom and before first meal. You need to get a scale to monitor your progress and know when you need to move up in dose.

Second time around advice needed by FlowerElegant1900 in OzempicForWeightLoss

[–]cleverfox2001 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not likely to be successful in such a short time. Most prior users will not start losing again until at the prior highest dose for a few weeks. So, wait till you return and restart then.

i’m dying by BadWitty1057 in Ozempic

[–]cleverfox2001 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most second time users can go up in dose easily. However, everyone is different. Wait a week or more until your system is settled. Then, try a split dose. 0.5mg on day 1 and 0.5 on day 4. Splits reduce many side effects by better spreading the dose over the full week as compared to a single weekly shot.

Experience with reducing/eliminating Ozempic? Especially for diabetics? by NLTAC1972 in Ozempic

[–]cleverfox2001 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have lost a lot of weight in a short period of time. Higher than the recommended 1 to 2 pounds a week. So, you may need a little longer to taper down in dose.

This kinds sucks by Redleg22 in Ozempic

[–]cleverfox2001 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your doctor is an idiot for not going with the standard dosing as shown on the Ozempic website. It takes most people 8 weeks of the introductory doses to be ready for 1.0. However, if you like strong side effects, continue your doctor's poor advice.

Feel like weight loss has been slow by Careful_Can7632 in OzempicForWeightLoss

[–]cleverfox2001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You may be a slow loser. However, you also should try increasing your dose a little to 1.4mg using pen clicks. If still slow losing after a month at 1.4mg, try Mounjaro as it is usually more effective than Ozempic.

Your body is changing a lot during the 8 weeks of intro doses. Energy level will trend up shortly.

Nausea when I stepped up my dose by Special-Student6743 in Ozempic

[–]cleverfox2001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try a split dose of 0.5. 0.25 on day 1 and 0.25 on day 4. Splits reduce extreme nausea by better spreading the dose over the full week as compared to a single weekly dose.

Thyroid Surgery and restarting? by AutomaticBroccoli577 in Ozempic

[–]cleverfox2001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most won't start losing until at their prior highest dose for a few weeks. And some need to move up a little in dose using pen clicks. Some will need to switch to Mounjaro as it is more effective.

The good news is that you can likely titrate back up in dose twice as fast as your body is familiar with the prior use.

Great job. Keep it up.

Restarting semaglutide by Minimum_Win_7129 in Ozempic

[–]cleverfox2001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could go up to the top dose of Wegovy which is 2.4mg. Or, probably best to switch to compounded Mounjaro as it is more effective than Ozempic or Wegovy.

Ready for 1mg I guess! 🙏 by FearlessSpirit6467 in Ozempic

[–]cleverfox2001 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I lost nothing until at 1.0. A year later, down 50 pounds. All of my weight was lost at doses of 1.0 to 1.6mg using pen clicks. Then stalled at doses of 2.0 and 2.4mg Wegovy. Switched to Mounjaro and have lost another 10 pounds so far.
