For Type 2 Diabetes "Ended up in the emergency room on the day of the second dose. Triggered a gallbladder issue and ended up elevating my liver enzymes. Symptoms mimicked a heart attack or pancreatitis. Hard to tell the difference. Severe abdominal pain radiating to the back, elevated heart rate, nausea, gas, bloating. For some people, this type of medication is very, very bad medicine and totally not worth it. I lost 10 pounds in two weeks because it made me so sick I could not eat or drink. One day this will also have an FDA black box label on it like Byetta. A class action lawsuit will be on your TV commercials. I would be seriously careful if you plan on taking this medication for anything, weight loss or glucose control. Not worth it. Once you get sick, you will be longing to get the stuff out of your system and will be physiologically impacted by the experience. No antidote. Have to wait it out. Never again. The Russian roulette of diabetes medication. Taker beware."

For Type 2 Diabetes "Ozempic is dangerous! I started to get unbearable stomach pains, bloating, diarrhea, increased heart rate, increased blood pressure, and a host of other problems. It got to the point where if I really had to go to the bathroom, I almost couldn't hold my stool because it was frequent, urgent diarrhea. I suffered through a nightmare. One day I went to visit NY, and I forgot to take my shot of Ozempic. My symptoms all disappeared after a few days. Ozempic was the culprit. My blood pressure, heart rate, and everything else went back to normal. I was so happy and felt great again. Doctors are not God. My doctor gave me the Ozempic even though he knew my insurance didn't cover it and it would cost over $550/month. He kept giving me the free samples so I wouldn't have to pay. What kind of doctor puts you on a long-term med knowing you can never afford it? Bottom line is... do not take this drug. You'll regret it."

For Type 2 Diabetes "I have been on Ozempic for about 3 months. At first, it was great. I wasn't hungry and felt so much better. Increased to 0.5, and I feel terrible. I've gained 15 lbs, I'm bloated and sick, constipated, exhausted, elevated heart rate, ventricular tachycardia, my period was on point every month, but now it's messed up. I feel full but hungry, and it never stops. Have Dexcom, sugar between 250 and 390 always, but my A1C has dropped from 8.4 to 6.4 (I don't understand that). I hate milk, but since I've been on Ozempic, I crave it and have become addicted to it. I drink a gallon a day. Literally. On the 0.25, I was very hopeful and thought this would be great for me, but it is not. I see my endocrinologist soon to discuss other options. Overall, I'm exhausted, sleeping all the time, elevated heart rate, weight gain, milk addiction, messed up period, constipation, increase in physical pain and depression, headaches for days after injection... just not worth it to lower A1C only 2 points."
