It’s supposed to wear off close to your dose day, sema has a half life of exactly 7 days. Many people will take their next injection a day before the half life expels. If you’re ordering from a verifiably safe company (as in, up to date 3rd party tests that are easily accessible for all products), the medication is effectively doing its job, and you’re comfortable w/the customer service/price/paymemt methods etc. then, at least for the somewhat confusing reason you’ve referenced in your question, there is absolutely no reason to shop around for another source... . This is supposed to be a weekly shot, therefore it’s extremely predictable and expected that as you near your next injection day for a new week on the medication, the medications strength and efficacy will have slowly dissipated and will do so until on the seventh day, you need a new injection ... I’m not sure if I’m misunderstanding because this is seems extremely basic information or if you misunderstood and perhaps thought that for some reason this weekly injection somehow was supposed to outlast its own dosing schedule?
Also, advice you should very much consider taking... You will be more successful in the long run with this If you try to tamper your expectations some now so that you’re able to handle days, situations, dosing titration expectations, supply issues and/or unexpectedly maxing out dose with little to no efficacy. These things might happen and they might not but if you’re panicking because you feel a bit of hunger a day or two before you next injection dose, you’re expectations are way too high! Being hungry for caloric energy is the most normal human thing our body does. As the half life of 7 days wears down and you’re a bit hungrier than you were on the 2nd day of half life, then make healthy decisions when you eat but always definitely eat when your body sends you those signals. If you starve yourself and become deficient in the vitamins, proteins and nutrients you need extra of when taking these shots, you will suffer some pretty crappy side effects, one of them being that you will lose weight much slower or not lose at all as your body desperately holds onto excess weight as to fend off starvation. Other side effects- temporary loss of reproductive potential in women still getting periods, hormonal imbalances, mood swings, significant hair loss, looser skin whose elasticity is unable to keep up with volume loss.
Take away-
the effects are supposed to wear off throughout the week, that’s why you need to take another shot.
The half-life of Semaglutide is 7 days, therefore to mitigate dissipation of meds actively in system, begin taking injections every 6 days instead of every 7 days.
Lower expectations around the idea that this medication should stave off 100% of all your hunger and that it won’t come back as long as you keep taking your dose each week. You’re still supposed to be hungry on this medication, you’re still supposed to eat. Like anything else as well, over time and with highest doses, you will can most definitely build a tolerance to these drugs and must use the time before that happens to learn how to eat smarter, smaller, and more thoughtfully so when issues arise, you’ll have made healthy habits for better decisions.
Constant fasting and/or not getting your body’s estimated daily calories for energy can make it impossible for your body to let go of excessive fat as a protective mechanism triggered by the brains response to believing it is being starved. On the other hand, this response for all of its stress can cause hair to fall out rapidly, as can losing weight too fast. Other serious problems and side effects associated with severely under-counting appropriate daily calorie intake are metabolic diseases, chronic idiopathic diseases, heart disease, stroke, kidney failure, mental health disorders, immobility, anemia, lymphedema, edema, pain, unhealed wounds, serious vitamin & mineral deficiencies higher risk of substance misuse disorder, hormonal imbalances, fatigue, and infections. So always eat between 1,200 to 2,500 calories per day with as many of them coming from protein as possible in order to avoid losing muscle.
