What about extrem tiredness
Yes, absolutely, fatigue can be a side effect of this medication.
I’ve dealt with fatigue but it’s not bad enough that I want to stop taking the meds. Down 60 pounds and I don’t want to regain it. I have also had a drippy nose the entire time I have been on the meds. ?
Fatigue is definitely a common side effect. Congrats on your amazing transformation!! Rhinitis (runny nose) can be a strange side effect of the medication too.
I am surprised that statistics do not analyse the "extreme tiredness", while in the comments, it seems so ordinary; what is the main side effect in a placebo group to reach 86%? Perhaps they said it doesn't make you lose weight. I have doubts about the reliability of that video.
There were numerous “side effects” reported by the placebo group, not one single one. All data in our video is directly cited from the published peer-reviewed STEP clinical trials, which you may find useful to further your education.

For me, the main side effect is fatigue and tiredness. What can I do to help this?
Unfortunately this is a common side effect, many of my patients report it. Other than drinking plenty of water and eating lots of protein, there is no way to reverse this. It does tend to improve with time. Hang in there!!
What about hives... I been itching and having hives since i started
A rash can be a potential side effect of just about any medication. I suggest that you contact your prescribing physician to discuss.
I have not experienced any side effects on Semaglutide. It seems that effects vary from person to person.
Good to hear! The majority of people do tolerate it very well 😊
Don’t do it. Side effects I experience ; constipation like never before, nausea, dizziness that won’t go away and depression. It is simply not worth it.
Losing the weight is great but the old fashion way is better. This stuff makes digestion so slow that pooping is next to impossible as is eating we do have to eat but
there is no way and nutrients are not getting into the body. Hence, you feel like crap.
Sorry to hear that you're having a difficult time. Sounds like maybe this medication maybe isn't the right fit for you. As with any medication, the results can be variable from patient to patient. I hope that you find something that works better for you.
Same . Exhaustion , dizziness and panic attacks . I never call 911 and had to call them several times while on this . Not continuing
So what about the muscle loss nearly 1/4-1/3 is muscle loss. And longevity you lose years
Studies show a greater relative reduction in fat mass, but to maintain muscle mass, try to do at least 2 days per week of weight training
You always lost some muscle when you lose fat. Do some strength training and hit your protein goal to lessen muscle loss.

Nothing about elevated resting heart rate?
While there is a very small increase (2-4 bpm) it was not found to be clinically relevant
The gas pains and bloating is so so so awful
So sorry to hear that you are struggling. The side effects can be uncomfortable for many people. You could try talking to your pharmacist about OTC remedies that might help.
My main side effect is gas.
This is a very common side-effect, Steve.
omg yes!!!! I’m having horrible horrible gas pains and SOOOO bloated I look 9 months pregnant!!!!
@@sarasotamermaid oh no!! Sorry to hear that. There are OTC meds that can help with that if you want to chat with your pharmacy. Hope you feel better soon!
