I was very nervous about starting this medication due to some reviews I've read on other websites. I started Ozempic this week due to Metformin no longer working for me. The shot itself was painless other than a little tenderness after the medicine went in. I don't have much of an appetite but I don't have the cramping or diarrhea that others are experiencing. My sugar has already come down so...

I have been on semaglutide for 3 weeks and I am down 8 pounds. I take one shot weekly in my stomach. So far so good, I have had zero side effects from it as well. :)

I've lost 54 lbs. in 20 weeks. I am about half way to my goal. The medicine lessens my cravings for food and alcohol. This drug is a tool, not a silver bullet. You still have to do the work, but the medicine makes it a struggle you can win.

I have type II diabetes and am overweight so it was prescribed for me. I had 2 shots and then my son found me on the bathroom floor passed out. I was inpatient for 1 week with low blood sugar, low blood pressure and kidney failure. As I was stabilized, my kidneys came back. I would not recommend this medication to anyone. Ever. Not even Rybelsus.

I have been on Semaglutide Subcutaneous for over six weeks and haven't lost a pound. I have lots of folks around me saying how great this product has been for them. I have been taking the shot in my hip, my daughter suggested it needs to go in the stomach. I am going to try that and hope for better results. I am very lethargic for 2-3 days after the weekly and I have brain fog. I am constipated first thing in the morning for the entire week, but I work through that. I do find I have a reduced appetite, but I still have not lost a pound. Very frustrated.Read More Read Less

I started this medicine last week. I lost 9 lbs over the weekend. I am experiencing nausea and diarrhea. I am on the starting dose. I am also having body aches, however, that may be due to my RA or fiber myalgia. Feels like little bit of the flu. I am at work with no problems. I did however, make myself eat some scrambled eggs this morning for protein. I will update my journey. Best of luck to everyone on this journey.

People I only I had one shot I was eating healthy. I was glad I stopped snacking candy at night but the side effects are worse. It's been 3 weeks no shots my hair still fall. I hate this med. I don't recommend it. But everyone it different. Take it at own risk. AND I had diarrea after the shot clear from my body. I had to run for my life. Yes people. Many times. God Bless!Read More Read Less

The med made me feel very sick, cramping, nauseous, bloated and an overall unwell feeling but I was determined to stick with in order to lose the weight. I had very minimal weight loss.

I use it for weight loss. The first 2 weeks of injections I got waves of nausea for about 24 hrs. and was very tired. By my 3rd week all that resolved and no side effects. After 3 weeks I've lost 11 pounds. It really does reduce your appetite.

Semaglutide has not helped me lose even one pound (I weigh 300+ pounds) during the first 4+ weeks.

My sugar has already come down some and it's nice not having to take two big horse pills a day, just one shot a week is awesome. So far this medicine has been a win win for me!Read More Read Less

in study for weight loss using this drug. Lots of side effects: nausea, gas, heartburn. You feel full most of time, less appetite, uncomfortable if you eat to much or to greasy. But I lost 20 pounds in 5 months.
