For Type 2 Diabetes "I have taken 7 doses of Ozempic. The first week wasn't too bad. A little nausea and fatigue. I did feel like my food stuck in my throat, and every time I burped, there it was. As I continued to take it each week, the side effects got worse. I was just diagnosed with diabetes in May, and since then, I've been able to come off of my insulin on my own, before Ozempic. I still take Metformin twice a day. This past week, the seventh dose made me so sick! If I wasn't nauseous every day, I was running to the bathroom at all hours of the day and night. I had horrible heartburn, gas, burping, jitters, and dizziness the whole time and thought I could continue, but after this past week, my doctor said to come off of it. It will take a while to get out of my system, I know, but I hope it does so quickly. I need my life back!!"

For Type 2 Diabetes "Coupled with continuous glucose meter, improved A1c down to 5.8 and lost some weight. Have experienced some apparently common moderate side effects including intermittent nausea, bloating, gas, heartburn, constipation/diarrhea, dizziness. So far, benefits outweigh bothersome discomfort. Easy to use weekly."

For Type 2 Diabetes "Not impressed. Have been on it for 6 weeks, has not lowered my blood sugar significantly. Gone down from 10.2 to 8.0, sometimes 7.7. Side effects outweigh the benefit of lowering my blood sugar. Side effects are bad, and I don’t want to go on with taking Ozempic. I used to have regular bowel movements, now I can only go every 4 to 5 days; I get bad tummy pain and in the stomach region too. Heartburn is bad too. Runny nose drives me crazy; it’s like a dripping tap. Nausea is a problem too. Not to mention bad smelling farts. It’s just too much to cope with. I would not want to go on with this treatment. Dizziness and tiredness are part of my everyday experience. My dosage is only 0.25 mg."
