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?

@olson25 I am prone to major depressive and anxiety disorders. I've been taking Ozempic for a couple of months and cry all the time and am extremely anxious. My endocrinologist and my kidney doctor say it's not the Ozempic. I think it is, but it helped bring my A!C down dramatically after a low dose. I've read about the mental side effects but my doctors won't acknowledge them so I don't know what to do.
