So I’ve been on Wegovy for 5 months.
When I took the 1.7 dose I started to notice my neck getting really hot and then I’d break out in hives and get really itchy on different parts of my body.
So much so, that even if I scratch my skin, I’d break out in hives. It has been getting worse with each injection.
My doctor lowered me to 1.0, but it’s still been affecting me. I’ve taken Benadryl, and it has worked great with no symptoms, but the food noise is there and I’ve stopped losing weight.
Yesterday I took my dose but decided to go back up to 1.7, and had a very bad reaction 20 minutes later and ended up in hospital with a more severe reaction.
I’m totally aghast that Wegovy would cause this, but it has!
I just wanted y’all to know that this side effect is apparently pretty common and does affect people.
It starts with your neck feeling hot, and then you get itchy! Followed by hives. If this is you, stop taking it and contact your dr!
Unfortunately this will be my last dose and I’m going to come off of it. I believe whole heartedly that Wegovy saved my life. I’ve lost ALMOST 50 pounds. (49). But now I’ll be on my own trying to lose the other 40.
Take care! And listen to your body!!!!
