I Would Like To Know If Anyone Has Experienced Problems With Ozempic ?

I was on Ozempic once a week for a few months, it worked fantastic with levelling out my sugars, however made me very sick. I would take my shot on Tuesday, Wednesday was fine Thursday started getting nauseous, Friday and Saturday projectile vomiting. As I mentioned I was like this for roughly 6 months until we discontinued it's use.

I am taking Victosa along with treshebia once a day. I have nova log as my short acting insulin but rarely use it anymore.

I felt nauseous when I first started Ozempic. The thought of food turned my stomach and eating anything made me sick. I then discovered I am lactose intolerant. Dr put me on a lactose free diet and the sickness stopped. I am now on the highest dose and I've had no side effects at all. I have lost almost 2st since Oct.

I was on it 5 months and it was awful! Nausea, headaches, painful cramps in legs and stomach, severe fatigue, loss of taste buds, bloated all the time. Got so I would be in bed sick for 3 days after taking injection. Did not work for me in that the side effects made it so not worth it. Took a few months to get out of my system after.
