Mounjaro wrecked me, Ozempic next?

[Morris]

Just want to hand you a little hope here - ozempic made me unbelievably nauseous, throwing up pretty regularly. Three months into mounjaro now and haven't had a single wave of nausea!!

Had to drop one medication and switch to another. Night and day difference, almost complete relief from the stomach-related side effects. Different formulations clearly hit people differently.

Only managed 10 pounds in six months on ozempic, plus rough side effects! Making the jump to mounjaro this week, hoping for better results and less weekly puking than I had on O!

I gave Mounjaro a shot roughly eighteen months back, not long after learning I had type 2 diabetes along with elevated blood pressure and a failing heart. Managed to drop 40 pounds but the side effects wore me down. Constant diarrhea, nausea, you name it. My appetite disappeared entirely and even looking at food made me queasy. Eating turned into something I had to push myself through against my will. Eventually I gave it up. All that weight came back, plus some extra. Just took my first Ozempic shot yesterday, hoping for the best!

Same thing here honestly. Couldn't sleep at night and the diarrhea ran all day long. Didn't let up at all until I finally quit Mounjaro.

Ozempic made me so constipated I was miserable. About three or 4 months, then I stopped. A few months later I started mounjaro and had hardly any side effects, and manageable ones when they came. Almost 3 years on it now, 205 down to 145.

Quick update since I really appreciate everyone checking in. My doctor called back and figures it's probably not the mounjaro at all, more likely just a stomach bug, since why would it only start happening now out of nowhere. He suggested taking imodium and stepping the dose down for a week, and he didn't seem concerned in the slightest. That said, I'm thinking about getting a second opinion elsewhere, since losing total control over my bowels like this is something I've never experienced before, not from ozempic, not from any bug. Really grateful for all the advice everyone's given.
