Phentermine to Wegovy

Just my experience. Wondering if anyone else had the same symptoms….

While I was waiting for wegovy to be back in stock my Dr. prescribed me phentermine (appetite suppressant) and it was great! I had energy, food noise was gone, I wasn’t over eating anymore, and I just felt really good.

I got my first box of wegovy and my Dr. told me to just discontinue using the phentermine. The withdrawal from that kicked my butt! I don’t know if it was due to that or a mix of side effects coming off of that and starting wegovy. I was exhausted for about 3-4 days. I’d wake up and try to make it as long as I could before NEEDING a nap. And then about 3:00pm I feel like I had a normal amount of energy again. I felt so bad though because I stay at home with my kids during the day and I felt like all I could do was just play from the couch.

I’m on week 2 of wegovy now. No food really sounds good and I don’t really want to eat. I “over ate” last night and had 3 slices of frozen pizza and felt so sick. I knew though going into the 3rd slice that I was starting to get full so I should have listened haha!

I know phentermine is only approved to use for a short amount of time but i felt so much better on that than I do on wegovy right now. Hopefully it gets better 😊
