Highlights from this day

peak_split — escalation is when most of the trouble happens, not the absolute dose, happy to be corrected 17:02
ferrous_ash — slightly off topic but do you tell your prescriber about the small stuff or only the big stuff 17:17
ferrous_ash — i keep a one line note per day. it is the only way i could see the pattern 17:51
week_three_wall — let the alcohol dry before you inject. that alone fixes a lot of the stinging 20:25

slightly off topic but do you tell your prescriber about the small stuff or only the big stuff

dose day = d0
0.25mg   nothing much
0.50mg   d1-d2 mild
1.00mg   d1-d3 moderate
1.70mg   d1-d2 moderate, d4 fine
2.40mg   d1 rough, gone by d3

do you drop back a dose for side effects or push through

if a side effect is new and severe rather than familiar and annoying, that is the line

i keep a one line note per day. it is the only way i could see the pattern

is it the dose or the escalation that causes the nausea

reflux getting worse is documented enough that it is worth mentioning to a prescriber

genuine question, at what point does this stop being tolerable and start being a reason to stop

a lot of what people call fatigue on this stuff turns out to be dehydration or undereating

magnesium citrate worked for me where oxide did nothing. that might just be absorption

let the alcohol dry before you inject. that alone fixes a lot of the stinging

has anyone had a side effect that got worse at a lower dose
