I purchased a pen weeks ago its been in the fridge since, I have heard lots of positives about this but I can't help but feel anxious.

What is the general consensus for or against?

    I don’t think anyone can make that choice for you. The best bet is to educate yourself about the risks and benefits. I personally don’t find the risks acceptable, given my personal health history. On the other hand, I know people that have used it successfully with no problems.

    I'm using it successfully, expensive as I have to self fund currently. I'm a very slow loser. It's not cheating in my view as still need to calorie count to get best out of it. Just shuts down food noise which is helpful.

    if you’re concerned check with your doctor first.. and is it from a reputable source? Will it affect other meds you’re taking?
    I’m all for it if it’s prescribed for diabetics because it works well.

    You know, there’s a lot to be said for intuition.

    Hopefully, you got the single one lurking in the fridge from a legit source. So many deaths tied to counterfeit pens bought online, and I saw an article last year about some women up north who went to a “Botox party” that had bowls of Botox and semaglutide. A couple died.

    We tell our kids not to try random stuff in that setting. It’s shocking grown women would do it. Are we that beholden to our appearance?

    if you do go that route, do it via your doctor and a real prescription.


    im not hating on semaglutide users Had it been available when I started, I would have considered it, but I would have researched it up one side and down the other first, since it’s a long term commitment.


    Had it been available for my Mom, I would have been all in for her. Even with risks and side effects, it would have been far more helpful than nothing at all for the raft of weight related issues she passed from., and the (obvs ineffective) drawer (chock full to bursting) of weight loss pills I discovered when she went in the hospital.


    Just be safe

    We are all different with various opinions. Personally I recommend chatting with your GP about your concerns. I did make the decision to self fund myself on mounjaro but spoke to my gp first. I buy it from a reputable pharmacy and so far so good. As advised by others weigh up the pros abd cons of taking it against not taking it and trying another weight loss route. I've tried so many ways to lose weight and I would get bored so easily and give up. Now the appetite is reduced and I follow a calorie deficit and the only side effect is a bit of constipation, but that gets resolved. Good luck in your decision.
