SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA - AUGUST 01: Roxy Jacenko arrives ahead of the Birkenhead Point Outlet Centre High-End Precinct Launch on August 1, 2017 in Sydney, Australia. “You would be blown away by the number of people who will give you scripts for that stuff,” she said. “The only place I could find Ozempic was in Nowra. So I paid someone $2500 to drive to Nowra to collect it,” Jacenko said.
The 43-year-old said she overdosed, “could not stop vomiting” was “shaking” and thought she was “going to die.” “I called an ambulance. An ambulance was going to be an hour away but I thought I was going to die. I went to St Vincent’s. They were amazing there and admitted me straight away.”
