Genuinely never heard of increased appetite showing up on that specific medication before. Might be worth reaching out to a doctor about it.

Suddenly craving EVERYTHING?!

Third week into Ozempic, still holding at .25, and honestly the first noticeable change was how quiet food chatter got.
This small dose kept me mostly symptom-free until this past weekend when I had steak, salad, bread, and sweet potato together. Past 24 hours have been pure sulfur-heavy indigestion and bloating misery, running to the bathroom repeatedly overnight. Lesson learned, and honestly I'm fully ready to embrace not caring much about food, small price to pay for never feeling like this again.

I had the opposite. Two doses into the generic after leaving the brand Ozempic, and I am hungry! I hoped it would improve, but it is as if I take nothing. Any suggestions? I began the generic at the strength I used before.

Hey, isnt Ozempic supposed to reduce cravings and how much you eat? How would anyone eat more on it? Just curious, because I only just started at 0.25mg. A hormonal imbalance sends my cravings for food and sweets through the roof and made me gain plenty, and lifting didnt fix it, so Ozempic is my experiment.

Each time the effect faded, we bumped the dose and cravings stayed away. Sometimes I could divert myself from cravings as well. I am on 2mg weekly (the top dose), while my tricks are becoming less effective, even though I train at the gym. There's still headroom for you before hitting the ceiling.

I've been on Zepbound because last year and it feels like truly expensive bulimia in a shot. On 15 mg, half the time I do not want food at all & the other half I seriously want to binge. I am starting to think it's not worth it.

Interesting. Ive been on the generic for about as long and it feels like im taking nothing. Hunger all day, chocolate and alcohol cravings, and the scale creeping up. None of that happened on Ozempic, so im going back.
