if a side effect is new and severe rather than familiar and annoying, that is the line
reflux getting worse is documented enough that it is worth mentioning to a prescriber
the sulphur burps seem to track fatty meals for a lot of people here, including me

my resting heart rate is up about 2 bpm, is that a known thing
my resting heart rate went up a few bpm and stayed there. worth logging from baseline
update on the earlier thing if you have stopped enjoying food entirely and are not eating, say so, we will help you build meals, for what its worth
quick one magnesium citrate worked for me where oxide did nothing. that might just be absorption
everything tastes metallic since i went up, does that settle
i lost my gallbladder in 2024 and i tell people that not to frighten them but because slowing down is free
it does stop
coming back after 6 months off: do the side effects reset
how long did it take for the GI stuff to actually settle for you
is a bit of bruising at the site something or nothing
dont push through
dropping back a rung for a fortnight is a completely legitimate move, ill dig out the number
water first
severe persistent pain radiating to the back, or repeated vomiting you cannot keep water down through, is not a chat question, i have it written down somewhere
eating small and often was the only thing that made the first month liveable for me, we shall see
electrolytes made more difference to my fatigue than anything else i tried
i had gallstones confirmed on a scan after losing quickly. slow down if you can

Inter-lab diff for lot KP-0925: 99.2% vs 96.8%. Within expected range.
ginger did nothing for me and worked for two other people here. thats where the evidence is at
rotate the site

unrelated but do you drop back a dose for side effects or push through
im at week 17 and eating maybe 900 calories without trying to, is that a problem
the hiccups are real, nobody knows why, they seem to fade after a few doses, from memory
sulphur burps. is there anything at all that helps
powering through is how people quit entirely. reducing is how people stay on it
it got better for me
let the swab dry
day two is the worst
escalation is when most of the trouble happens, not the absolute dose, happy to be corrected
whats actually worked for anyone on the constipation, ive tried everything
