Having read many threads on this forum I havn`t read any from users who also suffer with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) so I thought it might be helpful to share my experience as I have had IBS since my late teens. I am 64 now. I started as most people do with a weekly injection of .25 mg to start my body to get used to Ozempic. I thought at first that I had no side effects. This was not quite cor...

the "instructions" state that I take .25mg for 1st week and then .5mg thereafter.The graduations on the pen show nothing but dashes until you reach 1mg. the instructions also state that you can only take 1mg with this pen. wtf?

Started taking this .25 dosis injection for my first week. On 04/17/19 I have lost a total of 4.5 pounds so far, I am on my second week of Ozempic. The first week I didn’t had stomach pain, headache or any side effects. But I notice that my appetite had a big change. I am not hungry all day. I am eating small meals now. I been drinking more water than normal, but after reading all the reviews I was really scared too. I wasn’t sure if this was going to be the right medicine for me. But it works!!! No side effects yet! I am a T2DRead More Read Less

I am on 3rd week at .5 having completed .25. I was on long term insulin 70units and short term 14units. I am now totally off insulin. My glucose monitor (Freestyle) has worked great with this medication and helped to keep me at great levels though sometimes low. Side effects are not good. Depression has gotten bad. constant nausea and no appetite. Lost 15 pounds in past 12 wks. I'm willing to give it a chance hoping side effects will subside.

This medicine made me so depressed I found joy in nothing. Couldn’t get out of bed to do chores because of crippling depression. Had no appetite had to make myself eat. I couldn’t do it anymore. I only took 4 weeks at .25 that was enough. I stopped it 12 days ago and I’m still depressed.

I have never felt so sick in my life. I had a stabbing pain in my middle left side. Each breath felt like a knife in my side. I became extremely constipated and had absolutely no appetite. With the constipation I was unable to eat. I felt like I had bowling balls in my stomach. I went to the primary care doctor

Lost 17 pounds in 6 weeks. Dramatically decreases appetite. Started on .25 for 3 weeks, then .5 I experience burping for the first 1-2 days post injection. Extreme nausea at times. Constipation the first 4 weeks. Iâ??m sticking with Ozempic for itâ??s effectiveness and ease of use. The weight loss is incredible but I feel sick. Hoping the side effects subside over time. Would definitely recommend this drug, but prepare yourself for the side effects.
