Ozempic highs and lows and having to restart
Hi all,
I started Ozempic 0.25 mg May 27th. Right away I noticed reduction in appetite, but I was so thirsty I would go through multiple bottles of water in a day which was never the case before. I have PCOS and insulin resistance and very irregular to no period. I got my period 2 weeks into my Ozempic, then again exactly 4 weeks after. I also lost 8 lbs during this time, had minimal nausea and migraine so my doctor increased me to 0.5 mg after 4 weeks. I took one dose of that, still feeling okay, then while travelling got e coli - diarrhea, vomiting, low grade fever and overall fatigue, it was awful. It took about 3 weeks to completely be free of the symptoms and I was advised to stop taking Ozempic during this time. I then got a period again 4 days ago. I just took my first dose of 0.5 mg after weeks of nothing and I just have a migraine. Has anyone felt anything like this before, specifically periods becoming more regular? Weight staying the same? I guess since I missed a few weeks of Ozempic my weight did stay the same. I don’t want to increase to 1 mg, I wonder if anyone has had better outcome with staying on 0.5 mg after a while, because technically I only had two doses before being off.
