I'm an autist and found out I get ozempic free with disability. I thought why not, I've had weight issues my entire life. All diets have failed and I don't have the motivation to even try anymore.
Started taking it exactly 7 months ago. Was 220lbs, now 170lbs. 5'5 for reference, female.
It's actually kind of a miserable experience. I felt pretty damn ill from week 1 - 4, as if I had the flu. It eventually got better, but sometimes eating is downright impossible. I'll take a few bites of something and feel like I'll throw up if I have any more of it. It's difficult to eat an entire sandwich, the only thing that works is pacing myself over the course of an hour or two in order to finish the meal. Whether or not I can eat more of something often depends on the food, drinks and fruit go down fine but heavier stuff is an issue.
Malnutrition is also an issue. It essentially had me bedridden from weakness a couple weeks ago. I've bought some protein shakes and feel better now, but still generally weaker than I used to be. I dry-heave/vomit around once every two weeks, stuff came up the first couple times but now it's just bile, if anything. I usually vomit the day after the shot. A general feeling of nauseousness is pretty common.
The shot is once a week, I take it in the stomach, it doesn't hurt. You can barely feel it.
I am much more comfortable in my own skin now that I'm down 50lbs, but if you're able to lose weight by other means then do it that way. I'd say it's worth it to take it, but it also sucks and doesn't feel good. I wish I had the mental ability to just lose the weight the normal way, but after strict and miserable dieting several times only to regain even more weight, I just gave up because there's nothing else I can do. I don't want to feel disgust when I see myself anymore.
Something is deeply wrong if the only way for a large part of the population to stop being be obese is to drug themselves until they're sick.
