Finally seeing results on 1.7mg. But now I get really bad side effects

I switched from mounjaro to wegovy at the start of this year. I couldn’t justify the cost of mounjaro anymore, because I’d moved up to 15mg and it felt like it was barely working.

0.25, 0.5 and 1 were pretty bad for me. But all of a sudden, 1.7 is working really well for me. I think I’ll do another month at 1.7 at least, until it feels less effective. I’m using it differently to mounjaro though, because I started at nearly 25 stone and needed to just shed the weight on Mounjaro. Now I’m in a much better place, nearly 10 stone down, and I’m going to the gym with a PT and running regularly.

But my god. I get really bad constipation on wegovy. It was never this bad on mounjaro. I get 30+ grams of fibre a day and it’s still tough for me. Has anyone found ways to beat it???
