Highlights from this day
- knees_first — is it the dose or the escalation that causes the nausea 21:00
- knees_first — if a side effect is new and severe rather than familiar and annoying, that is the line 21:26
- knees_first — sorry youre having a rough one 22:05
- HPLC_Hank — i lost my gallbladder in 2024 and i tell people that not to frighten them but because slowing down is free, from memory 22:44
hope it settles
eat more
drop a rung
| 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 |
the dose day matters more than the dose for the GI stuff, at least for me
it got better for me
please get seen
taste changes settled for me around week eight and never fully came back, i have it written down somewhere
unrelated but hiccups. every single time. why
the sulphur burps seem to track fatty meals for a lot of people here, including me
eating small and often was the only thing that made the first month liveable for me
water first, then fibre, then magnesium, then a softener, then a pharmacist. in that order
is the nausea meant to be worst around day 9 or is that just me
fibre before pills
everything tastes metallic since i went up, does that settle
thats not a chat question
is it the dose or the escalation that causes the nausea

unrelated but does eating before or after the injection make any difference

magnesium citrate worked for me where oxide did nothing. that might just be absorption
i keep a one line note per day. it is the only way i could see the pattern
day two is the worst

dropping back a rung for a fortnight is a completely legitimate move
it does stop

update from 26 months ago: the nausea did settle, around week seven, completely
that settles
unrelated but powering through is how people quit entirely. reducing is how people stay on it
taste changes settled for me around week eight and never fully came back
is a bit of bruising at the site something or nothing
nausea is usually worst somewhere in the first 24 to 72 hours after the dose and then eases
severe persistent pain radiating to the back, or repeated vomiting you cannot keep water down through, is not a chat question
sorry youre having a rough one

ginger did nothing for me and worked for two other people here. thats where the evidence is at, from memory
the shed usually starts month three to four and usually stops. it tracks how fast you are losing
*Medutest not the other one
reflux getting worse is documented enough that it is worth mentioning to a prescriber
dont push through
my resting heart rate went up a few bpm and stayed there. worth logging from baseline
nobody here can tell you whether a symptom is serious. we can tell you the ones that are always worth checking, anyway
coming back to this started shedding hair around month 13, does it stop
water first, then fibre, then magnesium, then a softener, then a pharmacist. in that order
if you are under 1000 calories by accident that is a problem, not discipline
if you have stopped enjoying food entirely and are not eating, say so, we will help you build meals, we shall see

water first

rotate the site
same at week 3
escalation is when most of the trouble happens, not the absolute dose
follow up same at week 3
