For Diabetes, Type 2 "At first, I was disappointed with how it was working. I had side effects: heartburn, constipation, some stomach pain. My glucose levels weren’t dropping at .25 or .50 doses. It wasn’t until I was in the full dose for three weeks that things are improving. Blood sugar is down and I look forward to weight loss. I don’t have much to lose so am actually more interested in the glucose levels. Don’t give up on this drug until you are on the full dose for at least three months. That was my pharmacist’s recommendation. I am Canadian so the cost of the medication is minimal."

For Diabetes, Type 2 "Oh boy oh boy. This was my second time taking this. Why I tried again is beyond me. Haha. Actually my Dr talked me into it again. Plus side, I lost 15 lbs, not the plus side, made me super sick. Burps that smell like rotten eggs and puke that smells the same, constant heartburn and belly aches. Never could poop which isn’t healthy. Not worth it to me. Not worth missing work over and my life. I’ll diet the natural way before I ever do this again."

For Diabetes, Type 2 "My BSLs were out of control but almost immediately came under control with Ozempic, with the bonus that I also lost weight. THEN the shortages began, and I think I only managed to get hold of one, maybe two packets over the past year or so - they say it was because so many people were taking it for weight loss........Didn't notice any side effects at my first start, but have just started again, and the first night I had terrible heartburn, and also seem to have completely lost my appetite. Bought some Gaviscon for the first, and meal replacement shakes for the second and now all good."

For Diabetes, Type 2 "It's not working. I have been on it for over 8 weeks on the same dose 0.25 mg and my doctor has not increased it. No changes in blood sugar noticed at all. I have heartburn and I'm belching and constipated like never before."

For Diabetes, Type 2 "I’m in my second month of Ozempic. The first dose level (.25 mg) wasn’t difficult. I felt good, with minimal nausea, mostly fatigued and gassy. Moved up to 0.5 mg 3 days ago and oh boy, nausea ++ heartburn ++ have vomited twice. Holding out because I had been running with very high blood sugars due to poor diet and med compliance, peeing every 2 seconds, and drinking the well dry but now I sleep all night, have to remind myself to drink so those are the symptoms I prefer. I feel lighter and my clothes feel looser, haven’t weighed myself yet."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "All I can say is, watch what you eat. I find the side effects (nausea/heartburn/gas) are because of what I ate or ate too much of."
