Achiness Due To Wegovy?

Updated

Has anyone experienced achiness from taking Wegovy? About one month ago as my dose increased to 1.0, I started to notice and overall achiness. I assumed I was coming down with a virus but one month later it persists.

Just wanting to know if anyone else is feeling this or whether I need to see my healthcare provider more urgently.

The FDA doesn't list this as a known side effect of Wegovy, but we are all different, so not everyone experiences the same reactions to any given medication. The typical side effects are listed as possibly including nausea, dizziness, flatulence, diarrhea, and bloating.

Ref: Medscape Wegovy

Are you on any other medications?

When it comes to such issues, it is always best to consult your doctor to be sure of what's going on.

YES!! I CALLED THE WEYOVY HOTLINE AND THEY ASSURED ME THAT IT WILL SUBSIDE OVER TIME BUT IT'S BEEN OVER 1 YEAR. MY JOINTS FEEL"RUSTY". NOT SURE IF I SHOULD STOP SINCE I LOST 30 POUNDS AND WOULD LIKE TO SHED A FEW MORE. I WILL SAY THAT THE NAUSEA, CONSTIPATION AND HEARTBURN ARE GONE.

I am one month in on the lowest dose and I just started to experience the aching, mostly in my neck/shoulders/arms/fingers. Not too bad but it is strange.

My skin is extremely sensitive also. Started after taking Wegovy about 6 or 7 weeks so I'm not sure if it's related or not. My doctors are working on it to see if its a side effect or if something else is causing my skin sensitivity.

Yes, I am having this same experience also. It seemed to start with the higher dosages.
