You won't be able to return the medication, obviously, but if you're truly set on quitting, maybe try reselling it. Someone might reach out through the forum or you could list it on Facebook Marketplace...

It was likely just a stomach flu... though it probably felt worse because of everything else going on. I stopped taking Wegovy per the doctor's advice and planned to restart once I felt more stable...
Once I settled down, I felt better—enough to find the courage to start over. I lowered my dose from 3mg down to 1.8mg. I just took my second shot, and honestly, I'm feeling off again... I think I might be done with this. The side effects—nausea, abdominal pain, and constant burping—are exhausting. I'm really hoping I don't end up vomiting. Before the flu hit, everything was fine, aside from some mild, passing nausea... nothing major.
Since I've already opened a new box, if anyone happens to have a prescription and finds the pharmacy prices too steep, feel free to message me. I keep them refrigerated so they're perfectly safe, and we can certainly talk about a fair price.
Hang in there, ladies... I'm not giving up. I just have to find the specific method that actually works for my body so I can finally hit my goal.

Greetings.
I am also a newcomer to this whole ordeal, so there are a few things I'm trying to wrap my head around... I’ve been on Wegovy for five and a half weeks now. Based on my doctor's advice, if I started experiencing nausea, I was supposed to stick with the starting dose for an extra week. Everything seemed fine initially—until yesterday. Then came the nausea, the vomiting, the diarrhea... the whole unpleasant trifecta. I contacted my physician immediately, and her assessment was that this sounds more like a stomach flu than anything else. Her instruction? Stop taking the medication until I feel better, then restart at the lower dose once the symptoms subside.
The situation escalated last night; I felt so wretched that I ended up calling emergency services. They suggested it could very well be a side effect of the Wegovy and told me to come in so they could administer something to settle my stomach—mostly because I was losing fluids far too quickly. So, there I was, heading to the ER in the middle of the night, only to be sent straight back home. Apparently, there wasn't enough "need" to justify it. I was told I’d just have to endure the wait for someone to confirm it’s just a virus and that it will eventually pass. Today, the second morning after the episode, I’m feeling a bit better for the time being. To be honest, I've developed such a grudge against Wegovy that I'm hesitant to continue, though I can't deny its effectiveness—I've already lost about 15 pounds. It just so happens that I just purchased a new box, but since I haven't opened it yet, I'm wondering if I can return it for a refund.

You ladies are wonderful...
