Hi All,
I am currently on the 14mg of Semaglutide and have been taking for nearly 2 weeks now, however today I feel really nauseous and headachy. Is this normal. I am still wanting to eat but just feel off.
 
Hi Titch, I've not been on semaglutide, but googled, and it looks like nausea is one of the known side effects and headaches too.
"Possible side effects include nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, constipation, abdominal pain, headache, fatigue, indigestion/heartburn, dizziness, bloating (abdominal distension), belching, low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) in patients with type 2 diabetes, gas (flatulence), gastroenteritis, and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)"

I don't know if it wears off as your body gets used to it, or if you need to go back to your GP to ask if you can change to a different medication, hopefully someone who's had it will be able to share their experiences with you.

I hope you get it sorted and feel better soon, Sarah
