Have the side effects stopped? Or have you only been on it 3 months? My wife has been on Ozempic for longer than three months and the side effects haven't stopped. The nausea is typically bad for a few days after taking each dose but some of the others linger most of the cycle. For some I can see that tradeoff being okay but I can't see non-obese, non-diabetic folks making that trade-off for longevity. I know I wouldn't.

for me, the side effects lessened over time, and are pretty low now. Everyone reacts differently though.
could you elaborate on the trade-off for longevity? is this based on the supposition that dieting is good for longevity?
