Hi all, brand new here. My NP just prescribed semaglutide and I have a question about i stopped wanting wine and i.

Sorry if this has been asked before β€” I did try searching but the amount of information here is overwhelming (in a good way). I am on day 3 and everything is new to me.

Any guidance appreciated. You all seem really knowledgeable and I am glad I found this community.

marcus_mpls's experience with I stopped wanting wine resonates deeply with mine. I went through almost the identical process β€” starting dose, titration timeline, side effects, everything.

The main difference: I had more GI issues initially. But the overall trajectory has been remarkably similar. Down 33 lbs in 8 months.

One thing I would add that marcus_mpls did not mention: insurance coverage was a major hurdle.

Thanks for sharing this, marcus_mpls. A few questions about your I stopped wanting experience:

  1. What dose are you currently on?
  2. How long before you noticed significant changes?
  3. Did your doctor have any specific recommendations about I stopped wanti?

I am in a similar boat and trying to learn from others' experiences before my next appointment.
