One friend tried ozempic, had a similar experience and stopped. Four others are using Mounjaro and doing well. An old friend and Cardiologist said Mounjaro is the best. Our doc gave my wife a months sample to start. You might try that if you want to continue. It brought her blood sugar to under 100 and A1C down. Only side effect has been weight loss.

I recently took Ozempic for weight loss. For me it was the worst decision I've ever made. I was nauseous, lightheaded, angry, constipated and fatigued. The anger is what I had the biggest problem with. I paid only $35 for a month's supply but my insurance company paid about $925 for a month's supply. I so wanted the drug to work for me, but I can't take it. I guess some people can. I did ask my primary care doctor if I could take less but it comes in a shot so I couldn't. I might take it again if it comes in a pill form.
