For Cardiovascular Risk Reduction "Started at 0.125. The first two weeks, I experienced dizziness and nausea. My nausea was mainly at night, I would dream about being sick. I was slightly less motivated than normal. I'm normally a healthy eater, but eat big portions. Not sure if it was the nausea, but I find myself eating slightly less healthy but smaller portions (for example, I used to eat big salads, and that sounds gross to me, so I might eat a small portion of pasta/bread, etc. I have lost 6 pounds in almost 4 weeks, but I am on the smaller side. I am not sure if it is related or not, but I have experienced more frequent headaches since beginning, and I have also experienced more side effects from alcohol (normally, I can have a few glasses of wine without a hangover, but I feel slightly hungover if I have more than one drink). I am excited to continue, and I would recommend trying! Just know the nausea does stop!"

For Cardiovascular Risk Reduction "I took my first injection a week ago. I've already lost 10 lbs but feel horrible. Headaches, dizziness, and feel like vomiting. I'm going to keep trying. I'm not a diabetic but was willing to try anything for weight loss. Any advice?"

For Type 2 Diabetes "My doctor told me about a wonder drug called Ozempic. I am on the first dose, 0.25 mg. The first day had eye problems, stomach aches, dizziness, etc. The next day, I was not happy: eye problems, chest pain, cannot concentrate, afraid to drive my car. I will try all four doses, if problems remain, I will stop it."

For Type 2 Diabetes "This drug is helpful in maintaining a good blood glucose level. It has helped in lowering my overall weight, which was not working before by diet. At this time, I am on a 1 mg injection, but I feel I am having reactions of nausea, dizziness, bloating, burping, some abdominal pain, and constipation."

I could not eat or sleep comfortably at night. This is very strong and mainly suppresses the appetite. I never had this much sickness from a drug."

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 "I am only on week 2, so I am going to give it a shot, even though I am experiencing some side effects. I am a DMII with an A1C of 11.0. I have experienced a lot of dizziness, (I have BP issues as well), feeling bloated, diarrhea, and blurry vision. I can only hope these effects go away with time, as I really want to be on this medication for DM and weight loss."

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."

For Type 2 Diabetes "I’m 55. I was on Metformin 500 mg twice a day for 1 year. I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. This medication was making me sick, my sugar was not stable even though I was very careful about what I ate. I was feeling tired, body aches. I explained to my endocrinologist, she suggested I should stop right away. I was on Junivia 100 mg once a day, very same family as Ozempic. It cost the same, I lost 10 lbs. Then I switched to Ozempic injection 0.25 for a month, after 0.50. I didn’t feel any side effects, my body aches and tiredness were gone. But when I started 1 mg Ozempic injection once a week, it changed everything. I started to feel very tired, acid reflux, I felt extremely tired, no energy, dizziness. But now I’m thinking of talking to my endocrinologist and stopping after 3 months of use. My diabetic level is always stable at 6.2, 5.4, but I don’t like to feel very tired all the time. I hope my experience will help someone. But Metformin is not suitable for me."
