Have not had A1c yet but it will be lower based on daily readings. | This is not a drug where u can eat whatever u want. It will punish u for too much carbs, too much food, fried food. Basically the healthier u eat the less the side effects are. The loss of appetite / cravings is very strong. I have to make myself eat and nothing sounds goods. I typically eat around 800cal per day and nvr feel hungry. As a result I have lost 22lbs in 3.5 months so far. My biggest concern is the lack of calories and lack of energy to do any physical activity, which I have done almost none of. | M | 54 | 3.5 months 1X W | 6/18/2021 | 3 | Losing weight | Nausea, vomit, weakness. | I shoukd have kept the initial dose of 0,25. | F | 48 | 2 months 0,5 mg 1X W | 6/18/2021 | 2 | To lower bs levels | On the base dose.25 for 4 weeksthe only side effect was constipation.Moving onto the .50mg constipation then after5 weeks terrible diarrhea and sickness lasting 4 days till the day before taking the injection on a Saturday then from Monday sick and very ill till Thursday pm never being far from a toilet.I lost over a stone on ozempic but could not keep anything in my body it was so bad thought I was dying.If it works for you good luck I have decided its not for me need my life back so its back to the tabs now I have read it could take 5 weeks to be fully out of my body..... | F | 70 | 11 weeks .50 1X W | 6/17/2021 | 1 | Weight loss | Nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, sulfur burps, indigestion, acid reflux, Bloating, Feeling of fullness all the time, not able to eat or drink much | I've missed almost a week of work now due to all the side effects. I am stopping this medication as is horrible. | F | 40 | 3 weeks 0.5 1X W | 6/15/2021 | 1 | Lower A1C | I vomited for two days. I learned that if l ate, l would feel sick so l ate less. Even the small amount of food l ate made me feel sick: fatigued, bad pain in my abdomen especially below my left rib. I ate something 4 of the 7 days that l have taken this medication. I lost weight because l was afraid to eat. The smell of food sometimes made me nauseous. I felt dizzy and spent most of the week in bed. I had acid reflux also. | Some people can't tolerate this medication, I'm one of them. | F | 55 | 7 days .25 1X W | 6/14/2021 | 1 | Diabetes Type 2 | Experienced nausea, diarrhea, mild stomach cramps & increased acid reflux at the started dose of 0.25 mg weekly for first 2 weeks & severe gas & bloating resulted along with eye "floaters" too. After that I was instructed to increase to 0.50 weekly thereafter. Experienced severe gas & stomach cramps at night w/constipation followed with immediate vomiting. After vomiting I finally had a solid bowel movement but then had loose stools. Later in the day this happened I started to experience lower back pain. All day long had mild diarrhea & stomach cramps & fatigue. Called my internist who had prescribed this & haven't heard back. I called Ozempic's 800 number & related aforementioned side effects & to ask how long does it take to get back to normal after taking oneself off of Ozempic & they said ~5 weeks. | Ozempics customer service representative tried to tell me that the period of 4-5 weeks is the amount of time it normally takes to get adjusted to this medicine. I've not experienced any positive results at all. This has impinged my quality of life & for the sake of loosing weight it's not worth feeling lousy all the time. Am going to press my internist to take me off this gif awful "medicine." If she won't do that then I will do it myself. | F | 67 | 5 weeks 0.5 MG 1X W | 6/14/2021 | 1 | Type 2 diabetes and weight loss | Abdominal pain, severe nausea and vomiting to the point of missing work several days and even ice chips caused projectile vomiting. | I'm not ever taking this again- would have to feel better to even die at this point!! | F | 48 | 2 days .5 1X day | 6/10/2021 | 5 | Weight loss | Mild nausea and constipation. Nausea stopped after the 2 month mark. | I've been very happy with the results. My appetite has been reduced as has the amount of food I can eat at one sitting. | F | 45 | 3 months .5 mg 1X W | 6/8/2021 | 1 | Diabetes | My husband took this medicine and it caused gallbladder infection so bad it killed him . | Don't take this medicine . It will kill you and if you had trouble taking metformin you will have trouble with this also . | M | 68 | 45 days 0.5 mg 1X day | 6/8/2021 | 5 | Weight loss | Nausea only if I overeat | 45 | 2 weeks 1mg 1X W | 6/7/2021 | 5 | Endo recommended | Lots of burps, frequent diarrhea depending on what I ate, acid reflux daily. | F | 43 | 4 months . 5mg 1X day | 6/7/2021 | 1 | Diabetic and to lose weight | Stomache bad...back hurts...diarrhea 3 times a day at least! Exhausted all the time. Generally dont feel good. | F | 65 | 3 months 5mg 1X W | 5/26/2021 | 3 | Type 2 diabetic with high number | When I started at the .25 dose I felt bloated, full, constipated, extreme fatigue, didn't really want to eat and when I did I had a couple times where I vomited. That went away by week three. Week 5 I started the .50 dose and have slightly less of the original bloating, fullness of the first dose. I do have some fatigue and some cramping. I get on and off pain in the upper left hand side of my abdomen, just below the last rib. My BS numbers were lowering a lot when I first started. Some mornings I woke up with 81, 92, which is unbelievable for me. But it seems my body got use to it. I'm hoping with the newest dose (.50) I'll start seeing some lower numbers again. My biggest complaint is I have gained 6 pounds when I am eating less. I don't eat well but I wasn't when I started the medicine either so I'm very surprised at the weight gain and can't find anything online that talks about it. | F | 55 | 32 days .50 1X W | 5/12/2021 | 4 | Weight loss | The only issue has been extreme constipation. I have NO URGE, NO BLOATING and NO FEELING of bowels being full. Taking Metamucil daily and hasn't worked. Been several weeks since last BM so tonight I'll attempt Ducolax suppository. If that doesn't work then a call to my DR. | F | 50 | 7 days .50 1X W | 5/7/2021 | 4 | Type 2 diabetes and weight loss | Severe demon sounding sulphur burps, cramping to the extent that I can't lift my 2yr old, nausea/sickness, severe diarrhoea and backache. Spoken to my diabetes team and they are thinking of taking me off this due to side effects. | My blood sugars have come down dramatically. Although the scales say that I haven't lost much weight my clothes tell a different story. I have gone down 2 Jean sizes. The constant burping is becoming embarrassing because the smell isn't restricted 2 the area that I burp, it travels throughout the house. And it's embarrassing when I am out. My children run away from me when I have gassed the house out,sometimes the only way to get rid is to be sick which also stinks rancid. Thankfully the diarrhoea starts in the middle of the night or very early morning and only lasts for an hour. It is beginning to frustrate me because its doing what it should but the side effects are effecting my lifestyle. Take at your own risk is all I can say. | F | 39 | 3 months 0.5 1X W | 5/4/2021 | 1 | Lower a1c | Constant nausea and abdominal pain. Unbearable cramps in the middle of the night. Regurgitated food constantly. Every few weeks I would have a flair that would include violent retching and vomiting and diarrhea ended up in the ER twice to get fluids. Couldn't keep anything down. Would last 1-3 days I would be in bed and running to the bathroom. Had foul burps that tasted and smelled like fermented rotten fruit. But I did lose some weight so not all bad. The side effects never went away. It ruined my life. Plain and simple. | M | 45 | 6 months .75 mg 1X W | 5/3/2021 | 4 | Pre Diabetes | Abdominal pain, can't cope with food smells, loss of appetite but this makes me think its only working as I didnt have a switch to stop eating before, choosing healthier options as well. Walking everyday. Also vomiting after taking 0.500mg injection and now since starting the 1mg. The good outweighs the bad from the side effects. I have lost 25 pounds in 4 weeks! I just have to wait until my body gets adjusted to it is all. | F | 36 | 5 weeks 1mg 1X day | 4/25/2021 | 5 | Weight loss | Slightly nauseous for 2 days,a little bit of a headache but nothing a parecetomol didn't sort out,was nervous to take it after reading bad reviews but i can honestly say i feel great,decreased appetite which is what i needed as i am overweight but generally feel better than before i started on it,its different for many people i know but it has been a positive for me,very little side effects which were gone in 2 days. | 48 | 3 weeks 0.25 1X W | 4/23/2021 | 5 | T2d | Extreme nausea, vomiting and loss of appetite | 6 months of almost pure misery with the nausea and vomiting. Could barely eat and often threw up what I ate. I've lost 22 pounds that I really didn't have to lose but my A1c is 5.7 down from 7.3. After the 6 months things got progressively better and then I had 3 months where I felt almost normal and was only throwing up once every 3 weeks or so but now in the last 3 weeks I'm back to almost nightly nausea, some daytime nausea and throwing up 3-4 times a week. I'm about ready to call it quits but my A1c response has been so awesome that I'm reluctant. | F | 49 | 12 months 25mg 1X W | 4/18/2021 |
