Well my Dr. started me on ozempic , i had lost 25 pounds he was giving me samples from his office but when that ran out i had to quit taking them due to the high cost of it .Who can afford the high cost of that??? I was down to 20 units a day but now im back on tojeo and up 35 pounds and at 70 units , no energy can only work maybe 2 hours max and need to lay down .
