For Type 2 Diabetes "Nausea on a regular basis over two years of having it. Severe weight loss, even when not needed, as unable to face food. Blurred vision and pain in the eye. I don’t recommend it just for weight loss. I started on 0.25, going up to 0.5. Constant headache because of eye pain. I came off insulin, but am now stopping Ozempic, can’t put up with eye and headache. I would rather have insulin four times a day."

For Type 2 Diabetes "I started on this drug 4 weeks ago. First 2 weeks at 0.25, a little bit of headache and appetite totally gone. Second 2 weeks I went to 0.5, and that's when I felt bad. Bad headaches, double vision, dizzy, and I feel like I have the flu. The upside is that I lost weight, but it's not worth the side effects... I am going back to Saxenda despite the price."

For Type 2 Diabetes "My doctor prescribed it as a miracle drug, bought a 0.25 mg kit. My doctor gave me instructions, but I found better instructions on YouTube, so the next day I was ready with all that info. I cooked a light soup, no carbs, no fat, etc. I drank water, washed my hands, cleaned my belly, and did the shot. All was okay. After a few hours, abdominal pain, my eyes started to itch, then blurry vision. I went crazy, wondering what happened to me, went to bed, then the nausea came with a headache. The next days I was sick and did not go away, so I phoned my doctor. She said it's all in my mind and I will get used to it. Now I am afraid of the second injection, is it worth it? Why pay for an expensive drug to get sick? The only positive was that it lowered my morning blood sugar from 100-110 to 88. I take 1000 mg of metformin twice a day. For others, do not use it for the first time and go to work, it's good to do it when you do not have work the next day."

For Cardiovascular Risk Reduction "I am on day 4 after taking this and now bedridden. I have never been so sick in my life: nausea, vomiting, gas, headache, terrible smelly burping, dizzy, blurred vision, the list goes on. I hope this wears off soon, I have to go back to work. I am so disappointed in this product, very scary how it's destroying my body. I can't eat, sleep, barely move, just sipping water. Terrible stuff."
