Hi everyone! I'm new here ☺️ I am so happy I stumbled upon this thread because I have a few questions, and it looks like we’re all facing pretty much the same struggles. Following my doctor's recommendation, I started taking Ozempic 0.5 once a week about 15 days ago. To be clear, the reason I'm doing this is to tackle excess weight, specifically concentrated around my midsection. After the very first dose, I felt fine on day one, but then the side effects kicked in. I've dealt with mild nausea, occasional weakness, and some bouts of blurred vision. I've even had a dry throat and trouble swallowing at times. I read the manual and saw all of this listed as potential side effects, but I want to hear from you—how did you actually feel? I've finished two doses now. My appetite has definitely decreased and I'm watching my diet closely, but these side effects are seriously getting in my way. Are they just temporary? How long does it take for the body to adjust? My doctor thinks this is just the adjustment period and tells me to push through, but honestly, I'm right on the edge of giving up.
Thanks in advance for any advice or experiences you can share with me.
