GLP-1 Side Effects Quiz
Eleven questions to help you understand your side effects, manage the mild ones, and know when to call your prescriber.
GLP-1 medications like semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy) and tirzepatide (Mounjaro, Zepbound) are effective — but they do come with a well-documented set of side effects, especially in the early weeks. Nausea, fatigue, constipation, and appetite changes are among the most common, and for most people they ease over time as the body adjusts.
This quiz helps you take stock of what you're experiencing, how much it's affecting your daily life, and whether any of your symptoms might warrant a conversation with your prescriber sooner rather than later. Knowing the difference between expected adjustment symptoms and signals that need medical attention is genuinely useful.
Please note: this quiz is for educational self-reflection only. It is not a substitute for medical advice and cannot tell you whether your symptoms are serious. If you are experiencing severe or unusual symptoms, contact your prescriber or seek medical care promptly — do not wait for a quiz result.

Frequently asked questions
Is this side effects quiz free and do I need to sign up?
Yes — all 11 questions and your result are completely free with no account or sign-up required.
Is this quiz medical advice?
No. This quiz is a self-reflection and educational tool only. It cannot diagnose you or assess the severity of your symptoms. If you are experiencing severe, worsening, or unusual symptoms, contact your prescriber or seek medical care immediately — do not rely on a quiz result.
How accurate is this quiz at identifying serious side effects?
This quiz can prompt you to reflect on how bothersome your symptoms are and flag that some warrant a prompt conversation with your prescriber — but it cannot replace a clinical assessment. Always err on the side of calling your doctor if something feels wrong.
What should I do with my result?
Use it as preparation for your next prescriber conversation. Log your symptoms consistently in Trimm — a detailed, date-stamped record is far more useful than trying to remember things at your appointment. And if the quiz suggests your symptoms are significant, reach out to your prescriber sooner rather than later.
