I’m 1 month in. Some stomach discomfort, some diarrhea. Starting to even out. Had my first person say I look thinner (and no one knows I’m on it). However, the last few days I’ve had miserable fatigue. To be fair I have had issues with that here and there in the past. I’m still hungry but I can only eat 2 full meals per day. It’s easier to fast. It’s easier to stop eating as opposed to my usual overeating. It’s easier to not have as much of a sweet snack at night. I used to get low blood sugar bouts if active while intermittent fasting. Since getting on semaglutide I have not noticed that. Edit: just weighed in at my 1 month mark- down 5 pounds.

I did notice that injection in my thigh gave me less side effects.

[philosophicaltrucker]

Ive had hardly any side effects, a headache, maybe some constipation i thought maybe what i got was bad or something but i do notice i feel full quicker and reduced hunger and I get nausea if i dont eat for long time but thats about it no where near what I was expecting reading people's experiences

How would I be able to change my injection day to Friday evenings if it’s currently on Sunday? Do I need to wait the entire week plus 5 days to inject again?

Does this go away..

What should I eat before and after my workout while taking Ozempic?

[julieandrews]

Can you take supplements while on this medication? Like daily vitamin, Vit D, etc?

[carriebizz]

All of the above but I have chronic diarrhea problems since my gallbladder was removed 22 years ago. I have to use gastro stop alot like several times a week.
I have been on ozempic about 9 weeks now I've lost abit of weight and I take it on a Friday night

Please address the unrelenting fatigue

[kathrynn]

Ive been on it 2 weeks. Im very tired, but I can only extremely small portions, then I feel full/nauseas. I am eating heathy foods. I am going to wait 8 days to take the next injection and take a smaller dose. Ive lost 7 pounds, but I have hardly eaten! Not sustainable yet!

Hi. I just started .25mg on yesterday, Sunday, and I'm doing pretty well except for one concern; is anxiety or insomnia a side effect?

[doralevitt]

Hi, ive been looking through videos to help me figure out how to take this, i just received my ozempic today and my doctor wants to to take a 1mg dose once a week for 84 days.
I've seen videos where they say to start with a lower dose for a month and increase it until the third month where they should take the 1mg. Im feeling anxious about taking this, can you please help me? Thank you.

I’ve been on Ozempic 1mg over six months never felt any side effects.

[elw]

I do my injection every Friday night. I just finished my 1-4 weeks 5 units, I only had one time stomach pain on my 2nd shot on my thighs. Now I'm on 5-8 weeks and I just started my first 10 units and I did it in my stomach, I got a small lump after shot is this normal and how long the side effects kick in after injection? If I don't feel any side effect is that normal?

[toralmehta]

I m having severe pain in tummy where i injected the pen. 😮. Little bit of nausea. Grumpy lack of sleep.

[Gabbyynka]

Will this medicament help with my insulin levels, which are high alongside with the weight loss?

[LaurennR]

So I can rotate from one thigh to the next one skipping arms?

[krishlabiaga]

After taking ozempic, I vomitted three times the following day🥺 I felt fatigue and headache too. Due to that, the portion I ate was minimized almost up to 1/4 of what I usually eat since I had a trauma puking from time to.time especially since I am at work. Does that symptom last throughout while taking it or it is still just for a few days after first dose? I was given 0.5mg by my doctor since this was still my first time.
