Severe Ozempic Side Effects

Posted by labgirl @labgirl, Nov 16, 2023

I am new to taking ozempic and just started 5 days ago. The prescribed dose was 0.5 mg and I have been so sick ever since I injected that dose.
I'm experiencing nausea, dry heaves, and most unexpectedly, severe anxiety. I feel like I'd like to crawl out of my skin and can't wait till this drug clears my system. I can't eat, but I know it's not healthy to totally forgo essential certain vitamins and minerals. I snack on pretzels because they are bland and have salt.
Has anyone else had an extreme anxiety and sickness response to starting Ozempic?

I was tapering off of another anti anxiety med so I thought my increased anxiety was from that but when I quit taking Ozempic I felt so much better. I am now sleeping better and my anxiety is better. I had extreme nasal congestion too! Now to find something for my increased blood sugars!

I have had a runny nose and extreme anxiety. I had no idea it was a side effect of Ozempic. Thanks for sharing this. I have stomach cramps this week and think it maybe time to quit this drug.
