nibblezzI experienced a serious setback while taking Ozempic on week 13. I was going to finish my last dose on my pen, but I just couldn't do it. I was having severe gastrointestinal issues (vomiting, nausea and severe constipation) while on 1 mg. It got so bad I had to stop injecting it.
The 1 mg dose WILL shut down most of the cravings, but the problem is it also made me less thirsty. If I attempted to drink more water I would either get very nauseous or just vomit. When the vomit gets going it's hard to stop, because it smells so nasty after the food just sits in your stomach, fermenting. One whiff of that and it's over. I'll be vomiting for hours.
I may start up again, but it's going to be at the lowest dose, which is 0.25 mg.
Oh well!
