Has anyone tried Wegovy for long-term weight management?

I was trying crestor for 6 days (LDL 106) and it made me super sick (nausea, muscle aches, felt like the flu!) I stopped because I could not handle feeling so sick. I was scared of crestor raising my blood sugar even more. Now, I qualified for Wegovy (Medicare bridge program/$50 month) Scared to start it because of the nausea/other side effects. And I need to lose 20-30 lbs.

Anyone have experience/side effects from Wegovy? I am SUPER sensitive to all medications/suppslements, as I have never taken any drugs at age 75.

Thank you.

@jojobee267 - yes, I've had diarrhea, nausea and random vomiting, and gut pains from semaglutide (Wegovy).

I have found that having a doctor or pharmacist allow me to stay on the same dose and not go up to the next dose till I am doing okay on the current dose has helped.

Have you talked to your prescribing doctor about potential side effects and how they would suggest dealing with them?
