Hi,

I have been on semaglutide for 8 weeks now and I had no issue with 0.25 doss the I was upped to 0.5 and that was okay until 5 days ago when I started getting diarrhoea. It has been non stop for 5 days now and nothing helps. I have had almost no full night sleep also. I start my 1mg doss on Sunday.
I contacted my GP and they said that is was a common side effect and to keep with it but I am worried for the harm this is doing plus the lack of sleep is really affecting my life.
I have told them this is not good enough but while I wait on them to get back to me has anyone who has been on this had the same issue and did it get better and after how long and I could not take another 5 days of getting up 3 times a night and worrying every time I pass gas will I soil myself.
It is starting to bring down my sugar levels I think or it could just be all the diarrhoea??

Cheers Rob
