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.
That is so amazing that it is getting easier to listen to “hunger and fullness cues” and avoid snacking on sweets! Sorry to hear about the fatigue, that is certainly a common side effect. Make sure you are consuming an adequate amount of protein and check in with your doctor if it does not resolve (which is usually does for most people!)
I did ozempic for one month and I quit because of stomach ache im going crazy to check my self because I soon as i finish eating my stomach will start hurting and I don’t like that, would you be able to help me out please did this happened to you ?
@@vasquez2228 I’m now approaching month 4. I’m at 1mg. Feel I need the max dose next. I’m still pretty hungry. The stomach issues mostly disappeared for me. Maybe they started you at too high of a dose?
Hi, with your fatigue do you feel like you are still able to work? I'm going to be starting a part time job in 2 weeks & my semiglutid is in the mail to me
@@JenM.-vs3wp I’m going on my 5th month. Down about 20 pounds. Not really feeling fatigue anymore. I do often get an afternoon crash but that’s probably not the med.
I've had acid reflux in my sleep, to the point the discomfort wakes me up. a strong probiotic negates most of it and chewable calcium carbonate tabs help with the rest
@the brand I use is called "shape" by a company called Altman. the active ingredient is: Bifidobacterium animalis ssp. lactis B-420 and supposedly each capsule has 10 billion microbes
I had slight nausea when starting ozempic but nothing discouraging. After months of taking 2MG I now have experienced sulfur burps, a lot of gas, diarrhea and some vomiting in the last month. This is not fun at all BUT my doc said it’s normal and basically everything this doctor in the video said. Smaller meals, eat more frequently, avoid certain foods (fatty, fried, sugar, sulfur rich foods, and alcohol), and eat slower. I take ginger gravol when I have nausea and the sulfur burps - at least makes the burps come up with a ginger after taste instead of sulfur/rotten egg. I take Imodium for diarrhea. Tums for heartburn and acid reflex. And occasionally pepto. Peppermint tea really helps! I could never do this for life - I lost 10% of my body weight in 5 months, so it does work but this last month has been hell. I plan on using it to get close to my goal weight and then stopping and maintaining with strict fasting, diet and exercise. I do think it is worth it to get a start on weight loss if like myself where I really needed the assistance but not for life.
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!
@@kathrynn3936 sorry to hear that! Lots of people find it best to take it more slowly that the standard dose titration. Hope you can find that balance and it is sustainable!

Me too I noticed that if I inject opposite thighs I don’t get those bad feelings. I still feel a little tired a day after but not fatigues and nauseated. Glad I’m not the only one!
Fatigue can be a result of the medication itself, or as a result of rapid or significant weight loss. There isn't really a quick-fix but it usually resolves over time. Lots of protein and hydration can help, but you should speak with your doctor to address your specific needs. Some of my patients find vitamins can help boost their energy.
@ismaelyoblonski3510 It can, but how can you know that if you're not treating the person? I'm sure they're eating fine. If the person is doing this for weight loss, it's doubtful that even on medication they're not eating enough. It's just adapting to eating the correct amount and the effects of the meds on insulin. No one is starving.
So sorry to hear that, the fatigue can be intense for sure. It does resolve for most of my patients. You can ask your doctor for advice on how to manage it, such as optimizing nutrition.
Hi I took my first microdose injection of 1.5 mg of tirzepatide I am not nauseous but I have so much G.I. upset!

I’m on day four after my first injection. Does this get any better, and if so, what is the general range of time after which it should be all better? I’m thinking next week or maybe in a couple weeks I should cut down to actually .5 mg if I am this sensitive
@@ddddddddd98 hi, so sorry to hear that you are struggling with such unpleasant side effects! Sounds awful. For most people, as your body gets used to the medication over the next month, it does get better, but a lot of people do benefit from starting at very low doses, or staying at a low dose for longer than 4 weeks until you start to feel better.

Im feeling anxious about taking this , can you please help me? Thank you.
@@doralevitt2879 hello, if you have not been on this medication or a similar one like saxenda, the dosing recommendations are usually to start at 0.25 mg for 4 weeks, then 0.5 mg for 4 weeks before increasing to 1 mg
Hi! Great question, because in the clinical trials “psychiatric disorders” were higher in the placebo group (the patients who did NOT receive Ozempic) than those who received Ozempic…… but I do have a couple of patients who report the side effects you mention.
I took this in 2023 and only took 2 shots. I think it messed up my gut degestive my stomach makes noises now and is so embarrassing I have to take degestive enzyme to calm these noises. I wonder if this the side effects. Now I have constant anxiety cuz my stomach and being worried when I’m in quiet environment. Now I gotta make sure what type food to eat and not to eat.

my doc recommended this for weight loss AND borderline diabetes so I am willing to try it. just gotta get the nerve up to use the needle i know its not supposed to hurt. I'm just that way about needles
Totally understand! That is very common - the first injection is always a bit scary. You could always ask your pharmacist or doctor to give you your first one or walk you through your first injection. Good luck!!
You don’t even feel it and I’m terrified of needles, but it has started to make me very nauseated and difficulty eating even small portions of food. I’ve been on it for three weeks and im about to throw it in the trash. I don’t feel I need it. I had already started eating healthy and working out and lost weight without it. I don’t feel as worth going through all this eat healthy workout and stay hydrated.
@@wissab2398 great question! While I can’t give specific individual advice, it is super important to consume adequate protein for energy and to maintain muscle mass, while keeping added sugar content to a minimum. Also make sure to drink lots and lots of water.
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?

@@elw423 glad to hear things are going well! A small lump is normal after an injection and it is also totally normal not to have any side effects at all :) How long it takes for them to kick in varies, but usually within ~3 days after the injection
So sorry to hear that! Severe pain at the injection site is not normal - I would speak to your doctor. I have a few patients who have trouble sleeping after their injection too.
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.
So sorry to hear that! Most people start at a lower dose, usually 0.25 mg. For some people, they feel sick for a few days after their injection but it does tend to subside over time when your body gets used to the medication.
Have you explained that once you are on this Drug you cannot come off it? Once a patient does they gain more weight back then before they took Ozempic , you should not be on this drug unless you are diabetic and have multiple diabetic conditions
So sorry to hear that - you often don't hear about headaches, but it is definitely a known side effect with this med. I always remind my patients to make sure they stay very well-hydrated, especially with the summer heat months coming. If your headaches persist, let your physician know. Best of luck!
Reduction of severity of side effects is a way of managing them. As I mention, there are over-the-counter remedies that are available too. Is there a specific side effect that you are struggling with?

@@mikehankins4513 every medication on the planet has potential side effects. Dietary changes are not sufficient for a number of people to lost significant weight. The placebo arm of the STEP trials literally was diet and exercise….and on average people only lose ~2% of their body weight.
@watkinsmetabolic Not a proper human diet.. Only side effects are good healtj..Animal based..as it was intended...All this diseases didn't exist until we created the poisonous western diet..
Made me puke like crazy
So sorry to hear that, sounds awful. Unfortunately nausea/vomiting is one of the most common side effects. Did you try injecting in your thigh instead of abdomen?
Be careful of the Foods you’re eating.
Gives me 2 to 3 days of diarrhea after I take it
The number one way to stop these side effects is to NOT take this drug.
All medications have side effects.
@@watkinsmetabolic exactly.
Shut up
@@watkinsmetabolicCorrect!
With certain diseases you don’t have a choice
People are so lazy🤦🏻♀️
@@akferren1 comments like this only serve to highlight ignorance and lack of understanding of a chronic genetic and hormonal disease. Please try to be kinder!
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?
The drug monograph says: “the day of the weekly administration can be changed if necessary as long as the time between 2 doses is at least 2 days (> 48 hrs)” Hope that helps!
