I was on ozempic and then wegovy for 3 years. It takes several months to get up to full dose. My weight loss plateaued and I started gaining. I switched to MJ last month. I have had mild abdominal pain sometimes, otherwise no weight loss. My glucose has increased because of moving from the highest dose of one glp1 to the lowest dose of a different one. Hopefully MJ will start working soon.
I tried Ozempic but when I moved up to the higher .5 dose I had awful diarrhea. Because it's an issue for me anyways, I was not able to stay on it. It lowered my blood sugars right away though, fantastically. I don't know about weight loss as I wasn't taking it for that. I had no other symptoms at all. I wish I could try the other drugs, but I'm sure it'd be the same. Good luck!
