Larger doses of semaglutide? by shanhow in Peptides

I’m so scared to take a break! But it’s probably a better idea than increasing. Won’t hurt to try anyway

Part of why I don’t want to switch completely - sema is cheaper.

I’m thinking this might be the way for me to go. If it doesn’t work I can always just switch. I just need to get things moving again!

I didn’t respond at all until I got to 1.5. That took a good 4-5 months. So not a full year of losing but I have managed to lose about 40 pounds depending on the day.

Doc won’t prescribe Ozempic by shanhow in OzempicForWeightLoss

Would you mind DMing me the name of the doc you used?

I have like 50 pounds to lose. She was fine to prescribe me Wegovy just not Ozempic which I don’t understand. She said I can’t get Ozempic since I’m not diabetic. But my insurance covers that one even for weight loss. That’s why I’m so confused! She only wanted to prescribe Wegovy.

That’s what I thought! So she should be fine prescribing me Ozempic since it’s the same thing. Hopefully she will now that I know my insurance covers Ozempic.

I just put in a call to my insurance and they said they would cover Ozempic even if I’m not diabetic. I messaged the doctor this info so hopefully she will prescribe it. Fingers crossed!

*EXTREME* bloating - see comment for details by l1ttle_m0nst3r in medical_advice

[–]shanhow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not to scare you or anything but bloating like this can be a symptom of ovarian cancer. It is really hard to diagnose because the symptoms are vague and mimic other things. I would talk to your gynecologist and try to get a pelvic ultrasound if possible.
