[quote=Anonymous]I got an Rx for Ozempic from my doctor, which my insurance covers with a $25 copay. Because you need to taper up on the medication, the box lasts for more than a month. I lost 7 lbs fairly quickly without doing much of anything, exercise-wise due to a flare up of plantar fasciitis in my foot. I am not diabetic, but I have high blood pressure and she was able to fudge somehow to get it for me.

The nausea is a bummer, but it gets better as you become accustomed to the dose. I do take Zofran, which sort of helps. I inject it into my leg, which is supposed to help, and do it at night.

I’m not doing any kind of a program, as those tend to be really triggering for me; I come from a family with eating disorders and get totally freaked out by anything that feels restrictive or that dictates foods I can or can’t eat. The plus side of the medication is that I simply don’t want to eat anything.

Like all medication, taking it is serious. I would not recommend for someone who just wants to lose a few pounds or who is a reasonably healthy weight but wants to be skinny. I need to lose 30-40 pounds to be at a healthier weight, so I feel like it makes sense for me, especially for my metabolic health. [/quote]
