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."

For Type 2 Diabetes "I just started taking the 0.5 after taking the 0.25 for 4 weeks. I'm experiencing nausea, some vomiting, and bad stomach cramps, so I really don't know if I'm going to be able to keep taking it. It has curved my appetite some."

For Type 2 Diabetes "I am not sure if it has been very much help, as my sugar levels have been running high and would need to have my A1C checked to see if it has lowered from my last visit. Have not experienced side effects like others: headache, stomach cramps, vomiting, or excessive diarrhea. Only experienced slight stomach cramps and diarrhea when I consumed greasy foods."

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 "I had my first 0.25 injection on Monday morning. I have had nausea from about 2 hours after injection, then the severe stomach cramps started, followed by vomiting. I have not eaten a meal since Sunday evening. Today, the cramps have been the worst, and now the diarrhea has started. I work full time, and this is the worst drug ever. Anyone know how long it takes to leave your system?"

For Type 2 Diabetes "My A1C's have dropped, and I have so far dropped 28 lbs in 4 months. I feel much better physically and mentally. I started out at 0.25 and am up to 0.5 mg. I did have an upset stomach and constipation, but it's not as bad now. My body must be getting used to it."
