Still pinching myself that I'm down 40 lbs thanks to this med, but the logistics of getting it here in Europe keep me on my toes. Curious how everyone's current supply situation is looking this month, especially with all the changes in availability lately. Anyone else noticing things getting easier or harder to source where you are?

Down 20 lbs on 1mg myself, so I get the pinch-me feeling. Supply here in the US has been mostly fine for me lately, but I've heard the same thing you did about Germany and the Nordics being spotty - hopefully someone from there chimes in.
Sweden here and it's been a mixed bag lately - one month my apotek had to order it in, next month it was just on the shelf. Down about 10 lbs so far so I'm still early, but the scavenger hunt part is real. Sounds like the shipment timing thing the Dutch poster mentioned is pretty common everywhere.
Down 53 lbs here and still have to hunt around some months, so I hear you. I'm in Germany and my pharmacy said stock has actually been steadier the past few weeks, though I jumped between two pharmacies last month before I found one with any. Would be great to hear how the Nordics are doing.
Netherlands here, and my experience has been decent - my GP won't prescribe but I got a script through an online consult service and my regular apotheek fills it, though sometimes I have to call two or three places to find stock. In the Netherlands it seems availability fluctuates by shipment rather than by pharmacy, so worth checking back.
Spain checking in - I've been getting mine through a local pharmacy with a private prescription, no issues so far. Would be curious how it's going for folks in Germany or the Nordic countries since I hear those are tougher.
Early days for me, down just 4 lbs so far, but supply in the Netherlands has been smooth this month. Like the German poster said, sometimes it means trying a couple pharmacies, but no real gaps yet. Congrats on the 40 lbs, hoping the steadier stock holds.
Interesting reading this from the US side - my Mounjaro situation in Florida has been painless compared to what you all describe, never had to pharmacy-hop once while getting to 35 lbs down. Makes me appreciate how much the shipment-timing lottery affects things over there. Hope your restocks keep showing up on schedule.
Germany checking in, and it's been smooth for me so far - my Hausarzt wrote the script and the Apotheke near me has had it in stock both refills, though I've only been at this a couple months and 3 lbs down so I haven't hit a shortage window yet. Sounds like timing your refill right after a shipment lands is the trick everyone's learning the hard way. Congrats on the 40, that's a huge milestone.
17 lbs down myself and I've found calling my apotheek a few days before the refill date saves the scrambling - they'll tell me if it needs ordering. Netherlands side the supply has been steadier this quarter than last, for whatever that's worth. The refill timing thing really does seem to be half the battle.
Germany here, paying out of pocket at an online pharmacy after my local ones went dry last summer. The stock situation really does flip month to month, but the 45 lbs I'm down made the pharmacy hunting worth it so far. Watching this thread to see if the southern countries have it worse than we do.
France here and this month has actually been calmer than the autumn chaos - my local pharmacy had it without me having to call ahead for once. Down about 20 lbs and I've learned to ask for the refill a week early just in case, since the one time I waited it took ten days to restock.
Spain here and it's been hit or miss lately - my usual farmacia had nothing last week but a different one across town did. Only a couple pounds down so far so I'm early days compared to you all, but I've already started calling around before my refill date because of stories like these.
Watching from the US where our supply also swung wildly before calming down, so I feel the refill-date anxiety. Calling pharmacies a week early like your France post suggests is exactly what got me through the worst shortage months here. 22 lbs down on Zepbound and the pharmacy hunt has honestly been half the battle too.
Germany here, supply has been steady the last couple months after a rough stretch last year. Down 56 lbs myself and the early refill habit saved me more than once - my pharmacy now just flags it when shipment comes in. Hang in there, early days are the hardest part of the hunt.
US perspective here too, but same pattern - my Wegovy refills got way smoother once I started asking my pharmacy to notify me when stock landed instead of chasing it myself. 66 lbs down and honestly the supply stress faded before I even noticed it had. Sounds like Germany's steady stretch is a good sign things settle down eventually.
