Why am I not losing weight on Trulicity?

If the scale isn't moving, the usual reasons are: you haven't reached an effective dose yet, protein and movement are too low, or you've hit a natural plateau. It's rarely that the medicine 'stopped working'.

Does Ozempic cause low blood sugar (hypos)? What to do about it

On its own, rarely — GLP-1 lowers sugar in a glucose-dependent way. The risk rises sharply if you also take insulin or sulfonylureas, so those doses are reduced.

Does Ozempic cause muscle loss? What to do about it

It can, if you don't eat enough protein and don't do resistance training. The fix isn't avoiding the medicine — it's protein plus strength work to keep muscle while fat comes off.

Does Ozempic cause gallstones? What to do about it

Uncommon but possible, because any rapid weight loss raises gallstone risk. Keeping some healthy fat in your diet helps the gallbladder empty; severe upper-right belly pain needs review.

Does Ozempic cause burping and bloating? What to do about it

Does Mounjaro cause dizziness? What to do about it

Sometimes — often from dehydration, low blood sugar (if on insulin/sulfonylureas), or blood pressure dropping as you lose weight. Worth flagging to your doctor if it persists.
