Actress Shares Toll of Rapid Weight Loss from Ozempic
5 Oct
Summary
- Lost 30 pounds quickly on Ozempic but couldn't function
- Criticized other stars for not being upfront about using weight loss drugs
- Felt the results weren't worth the impact on her lifestyle

In a recent interview, actress Amy Schumer shared her experience with the weight loss medication Ozempic. Schumer, who is known for her work on the show "Inside Amy Schumer," explained that while she lost 30 pounds quickly after taking the drug, the results weren't worth the impact it had on her lifestyle.
"I lost 30 pounds so quick," Schumer noted. "I looked great and I couldn't lift my head off the pillow, so what's the point?" Schumer's comments suggest that the rapid weight loss came at a significant cost, leaving her unable to function normally.
Beyond her own experience, Schumer also called out other celebrities who have not been as forthcoming about using weight loss medications. "Everyone has been lying saying, 'Smaller portions,'" she told Andy Cohen during an appearance on "Watch What Happens Live" in June 2023. "Shut the f--k up. You are on Ozempic or one of those things, or you got work done. Just stop."
Schumer's candid remarks highlight the growing controversy around the use of weight loss drugs, particularly among public figures. Her willingness to share her own struggles with the medication and to challenge the narratives of others suggests a desire for more transparency and honesty in the discussion around weight loss and body image.
