For Type 2 Diabetes "I have taken a smaller dose than prescribed (0.25) and anticipate increasing it if I tolerate it well. So far in my first week, I have felt some nausea, weakness, and dizziness. I plan on cutting back on food intake, in particular, my carbs, and will also increase my exercise routine to include walking or jogging for 60 minutes daily."

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."

For Type 2 Diabetes "I took one injection of 1 mg as prescribed. I have been sick for a week with severe constipation, nausea, dizziness, stomach upset/pain, acidity, gas bloating. 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 "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."
