Ya, you are still ramping and the smaller doses are to see if there will be problems before you hit 30mg. You should notice something when you hit 10mg though.

Oral Wegovy is dispensed in higher doses than injection presumably because uptake via the gut is lower.

Yeah, came here to say you can't compare dosages across drugs—they are in some cases an order of magnitude different.

I misremembered the dosage, it’s 25 mg, not 30 mg. It’s pretty standard for oral, since absorption is different from injection.
Even 10mg is very, very high, beyond the trials maximums (though preliminary small escalation trials tested that, even reaching 16mg, I guess the participants really didn’t enjoy that) and would have serious side effects if not result in a hospital visit as well.
Please be a lot more careful dispensing advice on a public forum on matters where people could get hurt.
