For Type 2 Diabetes "I am a type 2 diabetic, but just took my first and last dose of Ozempic 25 mg. I had been taking Belviq and Phentermine, which actually helped me lose 20 lbs without side effects and dropped my A1c from 8 to 6.8. I wanted to try something different. Never again will I use this drug. Day 4 of the first week, and I am so dizzy, nauseous, headache, I can hardly walk. Also sweating, shaky, and my heart rate has dropped. Using Zofran and Dramamine to help the nausea. Trying to push lots of fluids. Praying this doesn’t take 5 weeks to go away. Beware."

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."
