Having read many threads on this forum I havn`t read any from users who also suffer with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) so I thought it might be helpful to share my experience as I have had IBS since my late teens. I am 64 now. I started as most people do with a weekly injection of .25 mg to start my body to get used to Ozempic. I thought at first that I had no side effects. This was not quite cor...
the "instructions" state that I take .25mg for 1st week and then .5mg thereafter.The graduations on the pen show nothing but dashes until you reach 1mg. the instructions also state that you can only take 1mg with this pen. wtf?

After first week at .25 saw reduction in BS. now on .5 Morning glucose has been as low as 80 and highest 170 compared to 280 and 330 this is great, wondering if anyone has developed acne. not sure if this is from ozempi, but I get a new bump on my chin every week like septic acne.

I have never felt so sick in my life. I had a stabbing pain in my middle left side. Each breath felt like a knife in my side. I became extremely constipated and had absolutely no appetite. With the constipation I was unable to eat. I felt like I had bowling balls in my stomach. I went to the primary care doctor

Lost 17 pounds in 6 weeks. Dramatically decreases appetite. Started on .25 for 3 weeks, then .5 I experience burping for the first 1-2 days post injection. Extreme nausea at times. Constipation the first 4 weeks. Iâ??m sticking with Ozempic for itâ??s effectiveness and ease of use. The weight loss is incredible but I feel sick. Hoping the side effects subside over time. Would definitely recommend this drug, but prepare yourself for the side effects.

Blood sugar level hasn't changed yet still. Going to increase dosage next time to .5. Hope mild side effects but hoping more my B.S. levels come down!
