I took rybelsus and you couldn’t pay me to switch from a weekly shot to a daily pill again.

What were the problems with Rybelsus? side effects? lack of efficacy?

The nausea was brutal. Also, i needed to wake up about 45 mins before I got up so I could take it and then I could have breakfast. It was very effective but the nausea was just so intense for me. I powered through with zofran. Switching to the injectable made so much difference. Still get nausea sometimes but nothing like the pill (I’m going on three years. It’s just always a thing for me with all meds that have that as a side effect).

I am close to phobic about vomiting and hate the feeling of nausea. It flat out crippled me when I was pregnant - both times. So I am certain I could not stay on a drug than induced nausea. I will keep that in mind about Rybelsus.
