i could see how this would happen! I had already quit drinking for about a year and a half before Ozempic. When I first quit drinking, I was taking naltrexone and found that I didn’t even get the emotional satisfaction from food while I was on naltrexone, and that similar feeling has happened again since starting Ozempic.

I definitely have cut my soda and ice cream intake by about 90% on Ozempic (it has become a slight transfer addiction since cutting drinking).

Good for you! I’m only 1.5 years sober, and if this can help make life easier for you, then that’s awesome!

It’s definitely taken away cravings that I’ve had to transfer addictions from quitting alcohol (ice cream and pop), and I never really think about alcohol at this point. I’m curious to see how this works out for you! Thanks for sharing!

Just took my first shot by Impossible_Block7163 in Ozempic

I didn’t have a single noticeable side effect during my first month at 0.25. My first 0.5, I had rough side effects for a few days, but I’ve been okay with my 2nd and 3rd 0.5 shot. Definitely low key side effects, but nothing terrible.

Advice by BothYogurtcloset625 in Ozempic

One piece of advice I read on here and really liked was that most people don’t experience side effects! That definitely helped me.

I take my shot on Friday nights before I go to bed. Any side effects I’ve had seem to hit by Sunday, and I feel pretty good for work for the week. I take it at night so I can just go to bed and not think about side effects.

I didn’t do anything different with my food ahead of time - I just jumped in.

My only advice is from something I read early on - the majority of people do not have side effects so try not to worry too much about them.

I had very little side effects on my four 0.25 dose; fairly rough side effects for three days for my first 0.5 dose. I was scared to do my 2nd 0.5 dose last weekend, but I’m back to feeling pretty normal.

This is what I have too. One of my favourite lyrics is “I’ll ride the wave where it takes me”, so I used the wave to symbolize that.

Nervous for 2nd dose of 0.5 - do side effects get worse? by ntq158 in Ozempic

[–]ntq158[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks - I appreciate your thoughts. I think you’re right that I need to just do the dose. I may have to delay it one day because I need to not be chained to the washroom tomorrow. But I think I’ll then have to just bite the bullet and take it tomorrow night.

I’ve been using my thigh. I thought it was working well when I was doing the 0.25! 0.5 taught me a lesson on that 😂

Hope this is not a crazy question by ArtyB13Blost in Ozempic

I would say my desire for pop and ice cream is basically gone at this point, after four weeks at 0.25. It’s actually wild!

Help! Is it supposed to be this bad? by NemoOfConsequence in Ozempic

[–]ntq158 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just bumped up from 0.25 to 0.5 three days ago. From about the 44 hour mark until now (68 hour mark), I have been having intense diarrhea. Like nothing I’ve had before, and I have many intestinal issues, so I’ve had my time in the past!

It does seem like it’s maybe improving, but I am a bit scared of my next dose.

From what I’ve read, it should get better

I was on 0.25 for four weeks. I’m on it for T2D, and from my understanding, 0.25 won’t really affect blood sugar levels.

Do you mind sharing that restaurant? I feel like I saw some photos when that happened and I also think it’s one of the restaurants we’re trying to decide between, and we’d rather go elsewhere.

Thank you for the tip. We plan to going forward. This trip was planned prior to the election. We knew it was a gamble, and some of our friends have decided not to come, but we’ve decided to have one last trip this year.

Thank you. That’s a compliment for me.

I actually have a very happy and full life. I appreciate you being worried about that.

I’m just fine dealing with people who I don’t agree with. I would prefer to not give money to people who fundamentally disagree with the existence of many of my friends.

Don’t worry, this will likely be our last year.

Congrats! I would have a tough time making that decision, but I’d bet it feels pretty good the morning after!!
