How do I stop side effects?

[Ashleigh755]

I’ve been taking Ozempic for weight loss during 2 weeks now and still can’t deal with the negative effects. I have nausea and can’t sleep at night. Many say that you just need to endure about two weeks, and everything will pass. But two weeks have passed, and nothing has changed. You have to act, but I don’t know how. Please don’t text me to go or do more sports. I know that physical activity tires and then easier to sleep. Believe me; I move a lot. I can walk 10 kilometers a day. But I still suffer from insomnia. The only thing worse than insomnia is nausea. And the worst part is that I can throw up at the most inopportune moment. I take medicine in the morning, and at the same time, I do everything according to the instructions. I tried to eat quite a bit to avoid nausea. But this seems to make the problem worse. What to do about the side effects of ozempic? I want to continue my treatment because I see positive results. But the side effects are killing me. I can’t sleep, and that’s why I can’t work. It can’t go on like this forever. Please advise me something if you can.

I have been on Ozempic for months. I started with the .25 for weight loss and diabetes. I only lost a couple of lbs the first few months, even though I experienced the side effects of nausea, vomiting and lack of appetite. I graduated to 2mg and have been on it for several months. My side effects have not lessened, in fact they are stronger than with the lower doses. I have lost 20 lbs, from 158 to 138, and that is wonderful. However, I am nauseated most of the time, am almost never hungry or enjoy food and the real killer is I can’t drink wine. Drinking almost any alcohol makes me feel ill. Not a lot left for the senses to enjoy. If the side effects were going to lessen, they should have by now. When I meet with my physician I am considering going off Ozempic. I see by posts that people can gain the weight back quickly. That is not good, but tired of not enjoying anything and feeling sick. Oh, I am 76 and active. I take Rolaids and Emetrol to help with nausea.
