For Type 2 Diabetes "After not being able to take Rybelsus due to the side effects, my doctor switched me to this. Started with 0.25. Did fine for 2 injections, so was bumped up to 0.50. Have had 2 injections and have been violently ill for 5 days both times. Diarrhea. Vomiting. Gas. Sulfur burps. I am lucky if I can keep water down. This is miserable. Doctor says it will stop, though it could take 3 months. Not sure it is worth it."

For Type 2 Diabetes "I’ve experienced a lot of nausea. No GI pain, no diarrhea. Lots of belching. I have lost 3 lbs the first week, although I’m only 8 lbs over my ideal body weight. My appetite is small, so I try to eat healthy foods. My average glucose (Dexcom 7) has gone from 174 to 157 in just one week."

For Type 2 Diabetes "This is week 1, and I’m already feeling the side effects: headaches, diarrhea, stomach ache, burping frequently that smells like rotten eggs. I get nauseous and gassy. I don’t have an appetite for food. I just started this medication, but I like its cleaning out my digestive system. I am reaching out to my healthcare provider to see what I can take to help eliminate the burping."

For Type 2 Diabetes "Been on Ozempic for 2 years. Now I experience stomach problems and gastro problems. Stomach pain, nausea, acid and bile issues. Diarrhea, gas, burping all the time. I think it's taking a toll on my body. It sucks. There are times I can't even function. I'm lost now. Sick of being sick."

"At first, all went well. I started at .25, then to .50, but when I went to 1, I started having issues: stomach pain, burping a lot, and strong runny diarrhea lasting for hours. Even after taking Gas-X and Imodium, it did not help. Stopping for now and will restart again in a few weeks at the lower dose. It did help me lose weight, I lost over 30 lbs in 5 months."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I have been on Ozempic for about 3 months. Started at 0.25, then went to 0.5, then went to 1.00 2 weeks ago. Had some minor side effects (a little stomach upset, fatigue) with the lower doses, but just this past week, I have started severe diarrhea. I literally can't keep anything in my system. It is working okay... I have lost almost 15 pounds, but I am going to adjust the dosage down if the diarrhea doesn't stop. I also have had a huge increase in burping, which is manageable. Overall, I have positive things to say about this medication, but I think that dosing is pretty specific to the person and should be discussed with your primary doctor if severe side effects continue."

For Type 2 Diabetes "After taking this, I was very, very unwell, ended up in ICU-fighting to stay alive. I was unable to eat for 2 weeks, unable to hold fluids down, eggy burps all the time, pure acidic stomach pains! And bloating, this time I have been put on a smaller dosage as a trial and still have egg burps, acidic stomach, and bloating with pains! Feeling sick, hopefully gets better, otherwise, I will not take it ever again! Gave me bad diarrhea this time round, unlike last time, it was all vomiting & very weak."

For Type 2 Diabetes "I have been on Ozempic for 6 months now. My weight has dropped from 134 kg to 102 kg, a loss of 32 kilograms. I was unwell for the first 2 months, but things settled after that. However, during the past month, I have started getting really bad nausea with some vomiting, diarrhea, and burping (sulfur taste). The doctor has dropped me back down to 0.5 mg dose to see if it improves. I do not take any other medication. HbA1 has gone from 7.1 down to 5.7. Blood glucose is in the 4.9 to 5.8 range. I must stress that for this to work, you have to watch what you are eating and do regular exercise."
