| 1 | Weight loss, pre diabetes | Horrendous persistent nausea. | The med did not decrease my appetite so I still continued my compulsive overeating. | F | 66 | 2 weeks .25 1X W | 7/25/2023 | 1 | Type 2 Diabetes | blood clots, macular degeneration, severe constipation, hair loss, stomach pain, bloating, nausea, headaches, trouble sleeping, dry mouth, depression, brain fog, confusion, forgetfulness, loss of appetite, loss of interest in life. | My doctor gave me a sample of Ozempic in the office and sent me home with it without any warnings. That started a year of some of the worst times in my life. I was constipated so badly that my doctor sent me to the ER where they gave me the same prep that they give for colonoscopies, it did NOTHING. Even the ER doctors were worried. Finally, one doctor said that he heard that if you give it to yourself if the upper arm rather than the stomach or leg that the constipation goes away. I stayed in the ER for 24 hours and finally had a tiny BM but they sent me home. I had headaches, upset stomach (with no diarrhea) bloating, burping, dry mouth that never went away no matter how much I drank. Then around month 4 and moving from .5 to 1 mg the brain fog started. I would be in the middle of a sentence and couldn't finish it. My doctor assured me that it would go away. Then came the sleeping issues, It would take me 4-5 hours to fall asleep (even with prescription sleep meds) only for me to have to wake up and go to work. I was in hell. And I have to point out that my A1c numbers NEVER went down. In fact they went up. The doctor again assured me it would take time. Then my hair started falling out in clumps. I read this about everyone and the doctors and the people who want to believe in Ozempic because they want to be skinny no matter what, "Oh your hair falls out because you're losing weight too quickly." That is a lie. I never lost a single pound on Ozempic and my hair f | F | 50 | 10 months 1 MG 1X W | 7/23/2023 | 1 | Type 2 Diabetes | blood clots, macular degeneration, severe constipation, hair loss, stomach pain, bloating, nausea, headaches, trouble sleeping, dry mouth, depression, brain fog, confusion, forgetfulness, loss of appetite, loss of interest in life. | I had headaches, constipation, bloating, burping, dry mouth. brain fog started.

Then my hair started falling out in clumps. I read this about everyone and the doctors and the people who want to believe in Ozempic because they want to be skinny no matter what, "Oh your hair falls out because you're losing weight too quickly." That is a lie. I never lost a single pound on Ozempic and my hair fell out in clumps. Then one morning I woke up and my eyes were full of blood. I rushed to an emergency ophthalmologist who did tests. Turns out I had lots of tiny blood clots in my eyes. Some had burst. He asked me, "Are you taking Ozempic?" I wasn't his only patient who had this problem. A week later I was in the ER again I had a blot clot in my arm. I was done. Today starts my 4th month off of Ozempic. My blood sugar are still crazy no matter what I do. My bowel movements are still messed up. I stil have tiny blood clots in my eyes. And my hair, which I lost about 75% of it on Ozempic is just now starting to come back, but it is very, very slow. My blood sugars on Ozempic were worse than before, they are still high. I joined a forum and some people who did not have diabetes before they started it now have it. | F | 50 | 10 months 1 MG 1X W | 7/23/2023 | 1 | Type 2 diabetes and weight loss | Heartburn and acid reflux while sleeping. Experienced the throw up into mouth acid surprise even if my head was elevated. Over the counter and prescription reflux aids didn’t help. Extremely slow digestion causing a bloated, stuffed feeling for hours after mealtime. Fitful sleep pattern started from night one. On day four of the sixth week, I became nauseous for a couple days, then threw up for a couple days several times and then developed diarrhea for the following four days and counting…Ozempic seems like a poison for me and the weight loss (12lbs.) verses quality of life is not worth it. I was instructed to begin by injecting .025 and increase to .5 the following week if there were no serious adverse effects. | My PCP during the appointment when she prescribed the Ozempic for me said she has over 125 patients using it and to guess how many of them had any significant problems while on it. Her answer was zero. I hate to be the streak buster. | M | 67 | 6 weeks .5 MG 1X W | 7/22/2023 | 1 | Weight loss | Horrible nausea and fatigue. Severe constipation and weakness all over. Lost 12 lbs. Side effects not worth talking this drug. | F | 67 | 3 weeks .25 1X day | 7/16/2023 | 4 | Prediabetes, weight loss | Only started experiencing side effects now that I'm up to the 1 mg dose. These include severe diarrhea, sulfur burps , nausea , and vomiting. | I hope I can ride out these side effects as my glucose levels are in the normal range and I have lost 23 pounds so far. | F | 53 | 9 weeks 1mg 1X W | 7/14/2023 | 1 | Lower A1C and weight loss | First week not so bad, 2nd , 3rd ,4th weeks terrible nausea vomiting could not keep anything down. My blood pressure dropped to dangerous level, shortness of breath , slept most of the time was dizzy ,lost 20 lbs from not being able to keep food down, food did not taste good and terribly constipated , I stopped taking it but still in my system , I do not know for how long. I do not recommend anyone taking this medication! | F | 74 | 4 weeks 0.25 1X W | 7/11/2023 | 1 | weight loss, insulin resistance | Heartburn, nausea, severe constipation, bloating, burpin, fatigue, dizziness | I started at 0.25 mg and expected the nausea, but didn't know about the other side effects and this medication made me sick! Heartburn literally all day, terribly constipated, the nausea comes & goes, but I can not be fatigues and dizzy at my job. Sure, it suppressed my appetite but who wants to eat anything when you're on the verge of throwing up. This is not a healthy way to lose weight. Maybe for obese it may be worth it. | F | 47 | 3 weeks 0.25 - 0.5 1X W | 7/9/2023 | 1 | weight loss, insulin resistance | Heartburn, nausea, severe constipation, bloating, burpin, fatigue, dizziness | I started at 0.25 mg and expected the nausea, but didn't know about the other side effects and this medication made me sick! Heartburn literally all day, terribly constipated, the nausea comes & goes, but I can not be fatigues and dizzy at my job. Sure, it suppressed my appetite but who wants to eat anything when you're on the verge of throwing up. This is not a healthy way to lose weight. Maybe for obese it may be worth it. | F | 47 | 3 weeks 0.25 - 0.5 1X W | 7/9/2023 | 4 | Diabetes A1C improvement | On the .25 & .50 dose's absolutely no side effects. Started 1.0 1 day ago & have had severe heartburn. I haven't been able to eat today. I was also up 3 times in the night because of low blood sugar. Thankful for my Dexcom. The 1st low my blood sugar was 44. | It's been a blessing for my A1C but haven't lost any weight in the 3 months I've been on it. My endocrinologist says that's normal on lower doses. Has anyone experienced the same thing & did you start losing when you went to the 1.0 dosage? | F | 68 | 3 months 1.0 1X W | 7/1/2023 | 1 | T2DM | Provider failed to monitor properly and attributed every side effect to something else. Been off of it for over 2 months and my body is in shambles. Still waiting to see a new provider and have been for over 3 months. ER also attributed nausea, diahrreha, constipation, severe gut pain, dizziness, brain fog, weakness, diaphoresis, and tachycardia to panic attacks, ran no tests, and sent me home without treatment. | This stuff is dangerous. Monitor yourself and advocate for yourself because nobody deserves to live through this. | F | 43 | 0.5 1X day | 6/25/2023 Patient History | 1 | T2 diabetes | At .25 starting dose had constant heartburn and fatigue. When raised to .5 dose after 4 weeks fatigue and heartburn continued and also started having dizziness. Also, started having stomach cramps and constipation. Now I'm on the 1.0 dose and in addition to the side effects I've already been having, I now have sulphur smelling burping, gas, and severe diarrhea to the point that I can't go anywhere. I'm seeing my Dr on Monday for A1c and labs. So hopefully they have improved. I've only lost 5 lbs. | I'm going to discontinue taking this because the side effects are not worth it. | F | 69 | 3 months 1.0 1X W | 6/23/2023 | 1 | Diabetic and weight loss | Extreme nausea, vomiting, spent the whole first day in bed. Also cold chills | I don't know how I could do another dose of this in a week, I'm too afraid now after getting this sick. | F | 69 | 1 days 1 1X W | 6/18/2023 | 4 | Weight loss | I have had nausea daily, constipation, fatigue. Developed extreme body aches and ended up in ER with dehydration and a CK over 400. Needed IV fluids and Toradol. The dr ordered Zofran for nausea. | I've lost 15 lbs. my appetite is suppressed and can only eat small amounts at a time. Some foods don't taste the same. Have belching and hiccups. Another commenter said "shame on those taking Ozempic for weight loss"ť but in defense, my blood pressure was elevated, as was my cholesterol level, have a family history of diabetes. I have tried other methods of weight loss that did not work for me. Even though the side effects are difficult, I'm going to keep trying the injections. | F | 65 | 2 months 1mg 1X day | 6/10/2023 | 1 | Diabetic | Nauseous Acid Reflux Fatigue | F | 58 | 5 days 1 1X M | 5/25/2023 | 4 | Type 2 Diabetes | Itching...after two months. Stopped taking. | M | 52 | 6 months 50 1X W | 5/4/2023 | 1 | Type 2 Diabetic | 1st shot was okay but I slept a lot first eeek, some nausea 2nd week-profuse vomiting, became severely dehydrated ended up in ER in IVs. Worst side effects ever! Missed an entire week from my job! No more of any weekly injections, I will do the insulin, no side affects like these weekly shots! | F | 57 | 2 weeks 2 mg 2X W | 5/4/2023 | 1 | Pre diabetic | Started Ozempic @.25mg x4 weeks, on this dosage noted sxs of nausea & vomiting the day after injection. Week 5 increased to 0.5mg dosage, next day experienced sudden onset of severe nausea & vomiting. Over the next few days, vomiting became so severe & uncontrollable, I was seen in ER & hospitalized x3 days, discharged back home & nausea & vomiting continued. After 4 days of these sxs & severe dehydration, went back to the ER & hospitalized x4 days. Required IV fluids, &other replacement supplements due to severe vomiting that required 3types of anti-nausea meds to control the sxs. Day 12 following the dosage 0.5mg injection, I was finally able tolerate eating & drinking by mouth. This medication may be okay for those with chronic diabetes but for me it was a living hell especially with the 0.5mg dosage. | How long does this medication stay in your system? | F | 22 | 5 weeks .25-.5mg 1X W | 4/3/2023 | 1 | Type 2 diabetes | Diarrhea, no energy, severe weight loss, no appetite | F | 62 | 16 days . 25 1X day | 4/2/2023 | 1 | Insulin resistance/obesity | Took it Sunday evening. Monday morning early I was so sick. Very nauseous, fatigued, bad headache, face pressure, & sore throat. I had a vagel response 3 times that day until evening. To the point of almost passing out. Flu like symptoms. I stayed in bed all day & most of next day. During this past week I have been nauseous all day, no appetite, fatigued. Belching & felt bloated. I have been taking Zantac & baking soda water. Had a good bowel movement the first morning and none since then(7 days). I have more pain than usual with my autoimmune disease. Today I am Suppose to take my 2nd dose. I am not taking it. With my side effects & reading others side effects this medicine can not be good for you. | I had told my Dr. That I was starting the Carnivore diet in 2 days. I do not know why she would put me on this knowing that. After reading up on this med. and says foods to avoid is greasy/fat foods. That is a big part of Carnivore diet. You know you just can not trust anyone and need to do your own research. | F | 70 | 7 days .25mg 1X W | 4/2/2023 |
