Side effects

Question

So I don’t know if I’m being dramatic or if I’m just really weak but I cannot deal with the side effects and I think I want to get off. So this last Sunday was my third dose at 1mg, up until raising it to 1mg, I haven’t felt any side effects at all. I was losing weight but I was working out a lot and eating really healthy. I started both working out and ozempic in October. During late Jan/early Feb, I slowed down on the working out due to my work schedule and noticed my weight loss stopped, which made sense bc I wasn’t working out but I had assumed some of the weight loss was due to the ozempic. I talked to my doc we upped the dose to 1mg. The first week was fine, I was just getting full really fast but the second week was awful, I was really nauseous all the time, diarrhea everyday, nasty burps, and I threw up once. I still took the 3rd dose bc I thought my body would just get used to it. But this week has been awful!!! My whole body feels bloated or swollen like my nose looks/feels swollen. I threw up twice the other night. One time I literally threw up while on the toilet. No more nasty burps though but I’m not leaving my house bc I just feel sick. And I’ve gained like 3-5lbs.

(Ive been trying my best to stay hydrated, eating small healthy meals etc)

I guess I’m mostly curious if it’s this bad for anyone else or if I’m just being a baby about it? Like idk I can’t do this and I’d like to stop taking it immediately.
