vmars, I started Wegovy so long ago it's hard to remember. I might have been on each dose until my next Dr. appt, which I think were 2 months apart at the beginning? Or maybe only 1 month? But I moved pretty quickly to the 2.4mg dosage because my weight lose was super slow throughout (like 1 lb a month).
followyourarrow, that's great! My A1C was 5.2 at my recent blood work, down from 5.7 last year, which is down from 6.5 the year before.
I was able to get Wegovy 2.4 filled today, so I'm happy about that (to refresh, weight loss stalled on Wegovy so Dr. switched me to Zepbound, I took the 2.5 and the 5 mg doses, but then couldn't get the 7.5, haven't been on anything for the past few weeks, but Dr. was giving me some pushback about switching back to Wegovy, but I am up 6 lbs from my lowest weight, so hopefully starting the Wegovy again will help!)
If you are on Wegovy when did you move from 1 to 1.7? I had my doctors apt on Monday and she said I can move up whenever I want. I have a few more doses of 1.0 so no big rush to decide. Was there a big difference? Right now I get some nausea and my appetite is suppressed so I don’t feel like I need to go up yet. So far I am losing about 1 pound per week.
Due to the shortage I had to jump from .5 to 1.7 but once on 1.7 I stayed on til I stopped losing weight, which was like 7 months.

Anyone who is T2 start an injectable and have to come off it because of shortages? Did you just flip back to your original medicine? I was on Fiasp and Levemir (long and fast acting insulin) and my doctor took me off Fiasp when I started Mounjaro. I did have to call 20 places to find somewhere that had it in stock initially but haven’t had any issues getting the last two refills. He wanted to move me up to 5 but now neither that or the 2.5 is available. I do still have one Fiasp pen but it’s been so nice having less injections, not worrying about eating right away in the morning (since I wasn’t using the fast acting) and not worrying about keeping it warm/cool when we are out during the day. Wondering if he’ll flip back to what I was doing or something else and how your body reacted to the switch and if you were on a lower dose if you had to start over.
