I would suggest this too. Much cheaper and works really well especially when you don't need to be on it for long. Probably a better option for you. Qsymia worked really well for me and I lost a lot of weight.

How did it help you. Did it suppress your cravings for carbs/sugar? Did the medication give you brain fog?

Yes, it really reduced my appetite and allowed me to make better choices. Honestly, I'm on Ozedmpic now (I can't take Qysimia again because of various antidepressants and anti-anxiety medications I'm on) and I had a lot more brain fog on Ozempic. Side-effects with Ozxemipic are so much more severe.

Maybe that is why is isn’t authorized for active duty military. Brain fog and active duty aren’t compatible.

Also OP, if you start taking drugs you don’t have a script for and it comes up on a random drug test, well..you know what happens.

I had really bad side effects with Ozempic. Every time I post that here, some Ozempic lover comes on here and says I'm lying. I assure you that I'm not lying. Side effects are real. There may be a small percentage of the population that gets them, but that means there are people who get them and I was one of them. The abdominal cramps had me doubled over in pain, at one point I was on the floor. I went to the ER for a CT scan and was told to stop it immediately. I stopped and about 6 months later the abdominal pain was completely gone, but yes, it looks SIX MONTHS after I stopped the medicine.

I don’t think you’re lying but side effects that severe are just super rare. However overall side effects in general are extremely common. Probably like 99% of people will have some kind of unpleasant side effect at some point.

There you go, minimizing my experience again.

I'm the one that suggested Qysimia and the doctor does have to prescribe it though I doubt it would be covered by insurance. it wasn't when I was on it and I had kick ass private insurance. It's also a lot cheaper if you have to pay out of pocket (I think i paid less than a $100 each time with a coupon).

I'm not the PP above but just because you didn't have severe side-effects doesn't mean they are as rare as you want them to be. Geez. I thought many times about quitting because I was miserable. Luckily they kind of went away about about 3 months into it but Ozempic is no walk in the park for many of us.

I’m on Ozempic. It hasn’t been a walk in the park at all and I didn’t say so. Very severe incapacitating side effects like what PP describes ARE rare. I’m not minimizing her experience to say that but I don’t want people to be afraid for no reason. I literally said that probably 99% of people will experience unpleasant side effects so I’m definitely not claiming that there’s little risk.

FWIW my doctor said side effects like constipation, gas and even vomiting from
Overeating are normal. She said pain is absolutely not ok and indicates a potentially more serious reaction. So my take away is that no one should be muscling through pain on these drugs because pain could indicate gall stones or pancreatitis.
