AceShowbiz - When model Lottie Moss decided to take Ozempic, she had no idea the weight loss drug would lead her to one of the scariest experiences of her life. Now, she is warning others about the dangers of taking this medication without proper medical supervision.

Lottie, a 26-year-old model and the younger half-sister of supermodel Kate Moss, recounts a terrifying episode that landed her in the hospital after taking high doses of the weight loss drug Ozempic. Despite weighing only around 60kg (approximately 132 lbs), Lottie was giving herself doses meant for individuals twice her size, leading to severe dehydration and a violent seizure.

Speaking on her podcast, "Dream On with Lottie Moss," she detailed the grim experience. "I took it for two weeks. It comes with a pen and different doses, you take one injection one week, one injection the next week and you take every week, and I've never felt sicker in my life," she said. After losing 7 kg in an alarmingly short period, she suffered severe nausea, vomiting, and a dramatic drop in weight.

The critical moment came when she could no longer keep any food or water down, and her symptoms escalated to the point that she rushed to the emergency room in the middle of the night.

"As soon as I got into the room where I was seen by another nurse, I literally had a seizure from how dehydrated I was, which was honestly one of the scariest things that has ever happened to me in my life," Lottie revealed. Her friend had to hold her feet down while her hands and face clenched up, a scenario that Lottie described as being horribly painful and frightening.

Medical professionals were stunned to discover the high dosage she was taking, which should have only been administered to someone weighing at least 100 kilos (about 220 lbs). "Please, if you're thinking of taking it, do not take it, it's so not worth it," she advised her audience.

Lottie explained that she had turned to Ozempic after feeling unhappy with her body image and obtaining the drug through a friend who bought it under the counter. Ozempic, designed primarily for treating obesity and diabetes, has gained popularity due to its effectiveness in rapid weight loss but is not intended for individuals who are not significantly overweight. This trend among celebrities and young people has resulted in severe side effects and significant health risks.

Lottie's story serves as a stark reminder of the potential dangers associated with the misuse of weight loss medications. She urges young people to embrace body positivity and shun unhealthy trends reminiscent of the 90s "heroin chic" era, which glorified extreme thinness.

"This should not be a trend right now. Where did the body positivity go?" she questioned, pointing out the regress from celebrating diverse body types back to unhealthy standards.

As Lottie continues to recover, she hopes her experience will serve as a cautionary tale. "I hope by me talking about this and saying my experience with it can be a lesson to some people, it's so not worth it," she concluded.
