[@hockeyplayer28]

Same type of semaglutide which you should discuss with your general physician or endocrinologist. Just different brand names. Ozempic is the brand that's only approved indication (reason for prescribing) is for those with Type-2 Diabetes. I've read that health insurers are now monitoring and flagging people filling prescriptions for Ozempic that they are a Type-2 diabetic. I think this is a great idea.

[@bobboscarato1313]

OZEMPIC is good and it works; I have no side effects at all.-

[@Iba1204]

My Dr recommended me this. He said u need to inject .25 once per week for 6 weeks. I bought it. I thought I understood the instructions but i didn't. I inject all the 6 weeks at once. Then, i realised i did wrong. I started to feel very thirsty. Then, i got a panic attack because I thought something bad would happen to me. I calmed fown and called the poisons centre. They reassured me it wont affect me but I would have side effects. Now i feel sick in the stomach, extremely tired and I'm vomiting. So now, I'm not sure if i want to inject myself, this time the right amount .25 next week.

[@marcelhaik8035]

I would be very careful with ozempic if I were you. I had one injection of .25 and I was sick in bed for a whole week and never thought I would be back to normal. My doctor laughed at me and didn't believe me. I actually called the manufacturer and told them what happened.I will never ever take ozempic again.

[@judygonzalez7647]

Very good information my question is i dont have diabetes can i still take this treatment

*Im on my 2nd dose of 2mg Fantastic overall results till now seen the real effects of weight loss naturally*

[@hockeyplayer28]

There continues to be a U.S. shortage of Ozempic nationwide, due primary to continued off label prescribing by physicians for weight loss. For the past year, diabetics cannot get the medication reliably or on a predictable basis. It's frequently sold out and back-ordered, and frequently diabetics who must take this medicine to manage their condition are waiting several months before being able to get it. IMHO doctors prescribing Ozempic off label for weight loss while there are shortages like this are professionally irresponsible. Diabetics like me depend on this medicine for our lives. If you are unable to lose weight on a diet, through low carb/low sugar food choices, professional counseling and more exercise, and need to lose weight on a semaglutide, you should be prescribed Wegovy, not Ozempic. Alternatively, your doctor can speak to you about 8 other weight loss medicine alternatives.

[@SarahtheDietitian]

Wegovy is not available. People with obesity should be able to get treatment too.

[@303asmr3]

@@SarahtheDietitian then they should wait for it to be available. People who are truly diabetic need this medication. I was on Metformin before and had severe side effects. Thankfully Ozempic is working for me. However, it is frustrating when my local pharmacy is out of stock and I have to hunt for it all because ppl want to use it off label.

[@darlalove8863]

Not true, there’s a shortage on a lot of medicine. My blood pressure med and my daughters birth control.

[@hockeyplayer28]

@@darlalove8863 Agreed about shortages in general of medicine. But the point of this conversation is about doctors prescribing Ozempic for off label, weight loss uses, at a time when real diabetics cannot get it to save their lives. Simply put - it's irresponsible. Being overweight, while a super serious issue, does not have near the disastrous immediate effects as not being able to properly control blood sugar. There are 8+ other medicines for weight loss, not to mention the more traditional forms of weight control (diet and exercise).

So in my situation I have the CYP2C19 enzyme that helps me metabolize certain medications fast. In my case I just completed my second injection. My first injection within 10 minutes I could feel the effects of it as my taste buds were tingling. It didn’t feel like my mouth was burning by the end of the night but yeah my receptors were tingling. Also I did get nausea my first night and felt high for the evening I took it and my personality sort of changed the second day with me feeling high. Anyways throughout the week I began to notice it slowed down my hunger completely (I took it Monday night) by Tuesday. The night before I had a big meal and yeah this day I felt great. I started to notice my weight go down as a I have a digital scale. Anyways it got to the point where it didn’t take much to reduce my hunger by Thursday. Monday morning I had lost 8 pounds since I started. I just took my second dose today and yeah my taste buds are starting to tingle again. Now in terms of nausea if I try to eat to much my body will become very sick feeling and I will not be able to keep going.
