@drmakkani: Nausea, reflux, constipation, and diarrhea are common GI side effects of GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, and Zepbound. GLP-1s affect appetite, stomach emptying, intestinal movement, and signals between the gut and brain. That’s why GI symptoms can be especially noticeable when starting treatment or increasing the dose. Save this and follow for more GLP-1 education.

i’ve been on 2.5 going into week 17 I have dropped nearly 30+ pounds had a little nausea in the beginning. Constipation is my big thing and I do everything I can. Thanks for your expertise.🥰

Stacey Renae :

I take my first Monday and i am prone to constipation and I’m nervous so I’m hoping I have a good experience.

Debb_z :

I felt super weak got migraines, nausea but only when I ate “too much” maybe the first week. 2nd week I changed the injection site and no more symptoms. :)

Username :

The only time I’ve ever had diarrhoea on GLP1 was when I ate something that I shouldn’t have. I think I had a serving of mashed potato with mashed Swede/carrot. I.e. carbs. I rushed to the loo after that. It’s like your body only wants you to eat stuff that is good for it, and it can no longer tolerate the nonsense you put in it.

Phat G :

Why do so many doctors orecribe GLP-1's for patients who do not medically need it - people who want to lose 3-5kg , already skinny think Sharon and Kelly Osbourne, Ariana etc yet those that require it morbid obesity, high blood sugars, sleep apnea, inflammation

Tania | Beginner Runner | :

This was a great explanation, my doctor just said it's common with no additional details. Thank you for this

dozey23 :

Thank you for this! I wanted to lose the weight I gained with an SSRI and perimenopause. I was told to do four weeks at lowest and then increase. I wish I would’ve known to just stay with low dose since I saw results. I ended up in the Er with horrific stomach cramps and couldn’t eat or drink for almost a week. I stopped of course and have been off for almost a month and half. Plan on going back on next week but, low dose and staying at.

Tess :

i cant take the fatigue im wiped out
