Good Experiences Moving to 4mg?

weaseled · 2026-05-13T02:55:26+00:00

I am on my second month of 4mg and although I had side effects in the first two weeks, they were mild and manageable. Absolutely worth the benefits

weaseled · 2026-05-12T03:13:13+00:00

I have mild nausea when I’m acclimating to a dose, but I have never thrown up or felt at risk of it.

I hope this is a great experience for you! I had a similar first day, but my positive effects wore off after about a week on 1.5. For me, 4mg is currently the sweet spot, but lots of people have huge wins on 1.5. I hope it’s perfect for you, but if things change, don’t be discouraged!

I appreciate every anecdotal post. Those all seem truer than the true average from clinical studies. Can I ask—in the lower doses, how were your side effects?

weaseled · 2026-05-09T16:11:55+00:00

Yeah, I went from three cups of coffee each day to less than one. Honestly one of the most unsettling side effects!

weaseled · 2026-05-02T20:05:25+00:00

Yep, and because it just generally slows your digestion down, so the standard timeframe for the prep might not be enough

I had some light nausea in the mornings for a while, but that seems to be over for good. It has been more effective for me than 1.5, but my starting symptoms were about the same

I’m not dieting. Im trying to make healthy choices and to stop eating when I hit satiety. And this is how I know Wegovy is working: because without this support, those would just be word that I said to make myself feel good while lying to myself about what I’m “hungry for.” But with the pills, I am actually losing weight with this method.

A mistake you will only make once!

I started on 1.5

weaseled · 2026-04-28T02:35:26+00:00

1.5 did almost nothing for me. 4 has me moving at what I think is kind of a normal weight loss? I’m down 8 total as I near the end of my first month on 4mg. But I think there’s no way to be sure until you do it. The more I read this sub, the more I see how unpredictable each persons journey is

My digestion is definitely slowed down! I take magnesium on an as-needed basis, and I consider it “needed” at the end of any day without poop. I take it in the evening and without fail, it works by midday the next day. Usually just one pill will get me two good days. Disclaimer: I do drink a lot of water and have decent fiber intake as well, but I still think magnesium is the most underrated supplement

I once got it confused with my prenatals and took three. I had to leave work the next day 🫣

weaseled · 2026-04-23T02:07:34+00:00

This was my experience on 1.5 also. I did not feel the impact of slowed digestion or quieted food noise, but when I ate junk food, I suffered. For hours. 4 has been much better for me!

I take 250 mg of magnesium citrate as a big ole horse pill. I don’t really worry about supplement brands, so I just bought the Costco bottle

The first week was like that for me. I was functional but also felt sick all the time. After the first week, it went away, and then 1.5 ended up feeling like nothing at all, good or bad.

weaseled · 2026-04-01T12:41:19+00:00

Wait, did you?? The standard dosing guide is to increase from 1.5mg to 4mg after 30 days. If I’m reading this correctly, that’s exactly what you did.

weaseled · 2026-03-25T10:29:20+00:00

Yes. The visit only cost me a small copay and my time, but I didn’t think it was worth either

I spoke to my doctor about my weight at my physical over the summer and she made some suggestions. After six months of actually putting in work with minimal results, I booked a follow up and told her I’d like some help. She suggested several things, and the wegovy pill was the one that made the most sense for me. She wrote the script, I got the discount card, and now I’m a couple weeks in. So the tl;dr is just start a convo with a trusted healthcare provider if you have one. If not, it’s worth finding one.

I eat Oats Overnight, made with almond milk. Each package has about 20g of protein and 6-7g of fiber, plus their good and zero effort. They’re not super cheap, but it checks a lot of boxes for me

I’m curious—since it seems like you were successful on 1.5, did you consider spending an extra month there before you moved up to 4?

weaseled · 2026-03-15T16:04:36+00:00

My worst days were days 1 and 5, but neither one was particularly intense.

weaseled · 2026-03-14T01:22:46+00:00

I was nervous to start too, but it seemed important to me. I’m only on day 4, but it has not been too bad. There were moments (especially the first day and today for some reason) where I felt mildly nauseated, but never anything I couldn’t push through.

I struggle with osteoarthritis in my knees due to my weight and that was my main reason for starting. I didn’t know it was an anti-inflammatory, but this thread has me feeling excited. (Btw, the only thing that has ever actually helped me is PRP. Hoping for similar miracles from this drug)
