Started Ozempic at .25 as recommended and have taken my 4th dose. Feeling off....jittery and anxious with heart palpitations. At times, I feel a bit better if I take a sip of pop and wait. Feeling nervous about increasing my dose in 4 days and how that may affect me. Anyone else with the same challenges?

@alley1 Due to the 7 day half-life you have a body dose of .47 now. Another .25 jab will bring that to about .49; if you increase it to .50 the body dose will be about .74. If uneasy probably should continue at .25 (is it still a .25 /.5 combo pen?). Escalation is hard on the body. It is a minimum of 4 doses at .25. Never heard of a doctor that set a maximum.

@alley1 Hello. I guess I am one of the lucky one's. I get a side ache toward evening. Sometimes a little light headed. I don't think about the injection every day. Almost forgot my last one. I have been concentrating on a healthier diet. Making plans ahead of my meals. My daughter had to take injections and she actually got panic attacks fearing she would get terrible side affects. I so hope your body gets in tune with the med. I know there are more meds out there, but i know nothing about how they work. Good luck
