I have been on Ozempic since Dec 7 firstly at 0.25ml/weekly, didn't feel too bad, but as I progressed through Christmas I began to feel quite ill, on my fourth injection of 0.25ml I became very very ill, raging stomach pain, sweating vomiting, diarrhoea.
At first I didn't suspect the ozempic thinking I had tolerated three doses, and put it down to a gastric bug, but starting my first 0.5mg dose quickly disadvised me of that opinion.
Within 24 hours I was in severe abdominal pain,sweating diarrhoea, chills and vomiting big time.
I had the doctor out, he did some bloods and the results showed my pancreas had suffered a severe allergic reaction and I was told to stop immediately. ( I had already decided the cure was worse than the ailment.)
Ozempic has a half life of 7 days, so injecting 0.25ml is metabolised to 0.125ml in 7 days, then the next 0.25ml dose increases your load to 0.375ml, a week later that has metabolised to 0.187ml then you add a further 0.25ml which brings it up to 0.4375ml
so you can see its an increasing load, when my first 0.5ml dose increased it to 0.8375ml which dumped my pancreas over the edge.
I'm sure it may be fine for others but just be aware of these symptoms.
