i heard it gives u mad diarrhea bro but my doodies aren't great anyway so i'd try it tbh

[burnbook31]

me too! but I stopped using Ozempic as well not bc of the side effects (I actually never got any of those) but because it's just too expensive for me. $100 isn't sustainable for me.

It can give you either diarrhea or constipation. Most commonly I've seen diarrhea because it slows your GI tract down (hence why appetite tends to decrease and why there is weight loss associated with it)

it does more than just stomach slow down. it curbs obsessive/addictive traits. people find they don't think about food constantly, alcohol, and weed. it alters something in the brain.

I agree it does more than that. But I was saying that specific in relation to diarrhea and constipation. There are several mechanisms by which is works.

I have to take it for medical reasons and I'm counting the day until I can stop because it's TERRIBLE. You have to be careful on what you eat, but also on the dosage with constant blood tests to ensure that your kidneys and thyroid are doing OK. My doctor and I have become best friends. She calls me on the weekends to check up on me (she's amazing), because it's just so dangerous and requires so much attention.

I have no fucking idea how these actors are doing it without medical supervision, but I suspect that many will end up with severe medical problems.

I'm on Saxenda ( once a day injection for weight loss) and it actually causes constipation.

I'm on Wegovy and I've never had diarrhea (while on it). I've been constipated a few times, but whether that's Wegovy or just my normal hormonal stuff, I wouldn't be able to tell because my stomach is always weird around my period.

can confirm from secondhand experience from a family member...they took it for legit reasons but had to stop they got soooo sick they ate nothing but toast and applesauce for like a week -_-
