Highlights from this day
- noct.titrate — update from 13 months ago: the nausea did settle, around week seven, completely 18:53
- endotoxin_ed — sorry to jump in magnesium citrate worked for me where oxide did nothing. that might just be absorption 19:29
- maintenance_mo — anyone get properly wiped out for a day or two after the dose 20:42
genuine question is it the dose or the escalation that causes the nausea

*that should say weekly
it does stop
i had gallstones confirmed on a scan after losing quickly. slow down if you can
the burps started at 7.5 and not before, has anyone else had that
my resting heart rate is up about 9 bpm, is that a known thing
severe persistent pain radiating to the back, or repeated vomiting you cannot keep water down through, is not a chat question
does eating before or after the injection make any difference

sorry to jump in coming back after 20 months off: do the side effects reset
*Janoshik not the other one
new severe right upper quadrant pain after fast weight loss is a get seen situation

the shed usually starts month three to four and usually stops. it tracks how fast you are losing

has anyone had reflux specifically get worse rather than better
drop a rung
the dose day matters more than the dose for the GI stuff, at least for me
if a side effect is new and severe rather than familiar and annoying, that is the line

is there a reason nausea is worse if i skip breakfast
follow up nausea is usually worst somewhere in the first 24 to 72 hours after the dose and then eases
sorry to jump in magnesium citrate worked for me where oxide did nothing. that might just be absorption
| Step | What | Give it |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | water, properly, all day | 3 days |
| 2 | soluble fibre | 4 days |
| 3 | magnesium | 3 days |
| 4 | stool softener | 3 days |
| 5 | pharmacist | now |
im at week 25 and eating maybe 900 calories without trying to, is that a problem
a lot of what people call fatigue on this stuff turns out to be dehydration or undereating

eating small and often was the only thing that made the first month liveable for me
anyone had the fatigue turn out to be something boring like not drinking enough
genuine question, at what point does this stop being tolerable and start being a reason to stop

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

my resting heart rate went up a few bpm and stayed there. worth logging from baseline
it got better for me
right upper side pain on and off for a week, should i be worried
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 d3nobody here can tell you whether a symptom is serious. we can tell you the ones that are always worth checking
site itching is common and rotation fixed it for most people i have seen post about it
i keep a one line note per day. it is the only way i could see the pattern
whats actually worked for anyone on the constipation, ive tried everything
let the swab dry
same at week 3
anyone get properly wiped out for a day or two after the dose

eat more
water first, then fibre, then magnesium, then a softener, then a pharmacist. in that order
ginger did nothing for me and worked for two other people here. thats where the evidence is at
magnesium
water first
the sulphur burps seem to track fatty meals for a lot of people here, including me
let the alcohol dry before you inject. that alone fixes a lot of the stinging
please get seen
the hiccups are real, nobody knows why, they seem to fade after a few doses
powering through is how people quit entirely. reducing is how people stay on it
dropping back a rung for a fortnight is a completely legitimate move

day two is the worst
