Hi, @bhb30602 - I moved your post into its own discussion so that members could talk about specifically what you mentioned, going from brand name semaglutide (Wegovy) to a compounded version.

I took brand name semaglutide (Wegovy) personally. I lost over 50 pounds, but I was plagued by pretty severe gastrointestinal issues. So I switched to tirzepatide (Zepbound). I'm having fewer gastrointestinal issues, but still issues. I've only lost about a pound and am still going up in dosage. Trying to remain patient, especially as a friend told my husband he did not think these shots were working at all till he got to the highest dose.

How has your time on the semaglutide samples gone? Are you planning to proceed with the compounded formula?

I was on the same and nearly died. Extreme nausea and vomiting depleting potassium and magnesium in my body. Hospitalized for a week. I would NOT do this again. I now walk five days a week.
