For Diabetes, Type 2 "Ozempic is DANGEROUS!!! I started to get unbearable stomach pains, bloating, diarrhea, increased heart rate, increased blood pressure, and a host of other problems. It got to the point where if I really had to go to the bathroom, I almost couldn't hold my stool because it was frequent urgent diarrhea. I suffered through a nightmare. One day I went to visit NY and I forgot to take my shot of Ozempic. My symptoms ALL disappeared after a few days. OZEMPIC was the culprit. My blood pressure, heart rate and everything else went back to normal. I was so happy and felt great again. Doctors ARE NOT GOD. My doctor gave me the Ozempic even though he knew my insurance didn't cover it and it would cost over $550/month. He kept giving me the free samples so I wouldn't have to pay. What kind of doctor puts you on a long term med knowing you can never afford it? Bottom line is.... DO NOT TAKE THIS DRUG. YOU'LL REGRET IT."

For Diabetes, Type 2 "Ended up in the emergency room on the day of the second dose. Triggered a gall bladder issue and ended up elevating my liver enzymes. Symptoms mimicked a heart attach of pancreatitis. Hard to tell the difference. Severe abdominal pain radiating to the back, elevated heart rate, nausea gas, bloating. For some people, this type of medication is very very bad medicine and totally not worth it. I lost 10 pounds in two weeks because it made me so sick I could not eat or drink. One day this will also have FDA black box label on it like Byetta. A class action lawsuit will be on your TV commercials. I would be seriously careful if you plan on taking this medication for anything, weight loss or glucose control. Not worth it. Once you get sick you will be longing to get the stuff out of your system and will be physiologically impacted by the experience. No antidote. Have to wait it out. Never again. The Russian roulette of diabetes medication. Taker beware."

For Cardiovascular Risk Reduction "I always had some side effects of Ozempic. Mainly exhaustion, nauseous, occasional throwing up after eating, constipation. As month 3 came and the dose increased to 1mg, I ended up in the Emergency room. I was vomiting and had liquid diarrhea for 4 days. My heart rate was elevated and my potassium was dangerously low. At the time, I thought it was a stomach bug-until the next injection caused the same effects. I've been on ant-nausea medication since. I can see why it takes the appetite away-being exhausted and nauseous 24/7 is terrible. Potassium is still not where it should be. Hoping this gets out of my system fast."

For Diabetes, Type 2 "I am a type 2 diabetic but just took my first and last dose of Ozempic.25 mg. I had been taking Belviq and Phentermine which actually helped me lose 20 lbs without side effects and dropped my A1c from 8 to 6.8. I wanted to try something different. Never again will I use this drug. Day 4 of first week and am so dizzy, nauseous , headache I can hardly walk. Also sweating, shaky and my heart rate has dropped. Using Zofran and Dramamine to help the nausea. Trying to push lots of fluids. Praying this doesn’t take 5 weeks to go away. Beware."

For Diabetes, Type 2 "I have been on Ozempic for about 3 months. At first, it was great. I wasn't hungry and felt so much better. Increased to 0.5 and I feel terrible. I've gained 15 lbs, I'm bloated and sick, constipated, exhausted, elevated heart rate, Ventricular Tachycardia, my period was on point every month but now it's messed up, I feel full but hungry and it never stops, have dexcom, sugar between 250 and 390 always but my a1c has dropped from 8.4 to 6.4 (I don't understand that). I hate milk but since I've been on Ozempic, I crave it and have become addicted to it. I drink a gallon a day. Literally. On the 0.25, I was very hopeful and thought this would be great for me but it is not. I see my endocrinologist soon to discuss other options. Overall, I'm exhausted, sleeping all the time, elevated heart rate, weight gain, milk addiction, messed up period, constipation, increase in physical pain and depression, headaches for days after injection.... just not worth it to lower a1c only 2 points."

For Diabetes, Type 2 "please stop taking Ozempic . I have been taking it for 12 weeks started with 0.25 for first 4 weeks than moved on to 0.50 . First 4 weeks minor side effect but my pulse rate started to go up resting from 65 to nearly 80. Once I started 0.50 dose I started to lose weight lost 1 stone in 8 weeks but suffered so much, vomiting, constipation, stomach pain, dehydration, depletion of magnesium in body and resting heart rate to 94. Was hospitalised last week and was on drip for 2 days . I have decided to stop taking it my next injection is due in 2 days. I am hoping stoping does not cause other issues I will revert to taking insulin . SO Please do not start this drug There are other options to manage your diabetes."
