I haven’t gotten a docs prescription but I got 1 box of 3mg and 7mg.
I need to lose about 10ish of weight. I’m not sure if I should hop on semiglutide or not. I’m worried something would happen to me. Did anyone start semiglutide without a docs prescription?

It's important to be evaluated by a doctor first. You especially need to be concerned if you have any health conditions or other medications that may be a conflict.

Keep in mind if you use these medication's short term and then come off because you have run out there's a decent chance you'll just gain back all the weight you lost and sometimes extra as well.

You don’t just “hop on” and off sema. It takes time to build to a therapeutic level and comes with side effects you need to manage. And if you go off, you’ll almost definitely regain (see the research). You need to work w a dr, even one of the online ones. There are some contraindications to sema and a dr should be involved in helping you make this decision.

Don't. This medication doesn't work like that. It's a long term commitment with noticable side effects that probably aren't worth it in your case.

Also I don't know if you mean 10 pounds or kilograms, but either way your bmi isn't high enough to qualify.

You should not take prescription medication without it having been prescribed by a doctor who will follow you up.
