how long did it take for the GI stuff to actually settle for you
[edited]#side-effects 2025-10-05
- noct.titrate — my resting heart rate is up about 7 bpm, is that a known thing 14:27
- noct.titrate — anyone had the fatigue turn out to be something boring like not drinking enough 14:36
- red_flag_ruby — a lot of what people call fatigue on this stuff turns out to be dehydration or undereating 17:44
- amsterdam_aliquot — i had gallstones confirmed on a scan after losing quickly. slow down if you can 19:27
- electrolyte_eli — for the archive i keep a one line note per day. it is the only way i could see the pattern, still working it out 20:15
i lost my gallbladder in 2024 and i tell people that not to frighten them but because slowing down is free
my resting heart rate is up about 7 bpm, is that a known thing
| 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 |
anyone had the fatigue turn out to be something boring like not drinking enough
my resting heart rate went up a few bpm and stayed there. worth logging from baseline, for what its worth
if a side effect is new and severe rather than familiar and annoying, that is the line
does eating before or after the injection make any difference
protein
electrolytes made more difference to my fatigue than anything else i tried
new severe right upper quadrant pain after fast weight loss is a get seen situation, i could be wrong
water first
for the archive taste changes settled for me around week eight and never fully came back, anyway
nausea is usually worst somewhere in the first 24 to 72 hours after the dose and then eases
let the alcohol dry before you inject. that alone fixes a lot of the stinging
Reminder set. I will post here in 9 days.
slightly off topic but the hiccups are real, nobody knows why, they seem to fade after a few doses
if a side effect is new and severe rather than familiar and annoying, that is the line
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
magnesium
same at week 3
dont push through
please get seen
started shedding hair around month 26, does it stop
anyone found the fatigue lifted when they fixed their protein
if you have stopped enjoying food entirely and are not eating, say so, we will help you build meals
eating small and often was the only thing that made the first month liveable for me
while im here right upper side pain on and off for a week, should i be worried
ginger did nothing for me and worked for two other people here. thats where the evidence is at
new severe right upper quadrant pain after fast weight loss is a get seen situation
fibre before pills
rotate the site
do you tell your prescriber about the small stuff or only the big stuff
it got better for me
for the archive the dose day matters more than the dose for the GI stuff, at least for me
electrolytes made more difference to my fatigue than anything else i tried
the burps started at 15 and not before, has anyone else had that
escalation is when most of the trouble happens, not the absolute dose, for what its worth
water first, then fibre, then magnesium, then a softener, then a pharmacist. in that order
a lot of what people call fatigue on this stuff turns out to be dehydration or undereating
sorry to jump in site itching is common and rotation fixed it for most people i have seen post about it
hope it settles
what did your gallbladder symptoms actually feel like before it got diagnosed
whats actually worked for anyone on the constipation, ive tried everything
that settles
update on the earlier thing is the nausea meant to be worst around day 8 or is that just me
let the swab dry
coming back after 9 months off: do the side effects reset
has anyone had reflux specifically get worse rather than better
if you are under 1000 calories by accident that is a problem, not discipline
slightly off topic but anyone get properly wiped out for a day or two after the dose
magnesium citrate worked for me where oxide did nothing. that might just be absorption
everything tastes metallic since i went up, does that settle
thats not a chat question
nobody here can tell you whether a symptom is serious. we can tell you the ones that are always worth checking
i had gallstones confirmed on a scan after losing quickly. slow down if you can
sorry to jump in is a bit of bruising at the site something or nothing
the sulphur burps seem to track fatty meals for a lot of people here, including me
dropping back a rung for a fortnight is a completely legitimate move, ask me again in a month
for the archive i keep a one line note per day. it is the only way i could see the pattern, still working it out
my injection site itched for three days, normal
week 17 and still nauseous, at what point is this not going to settle
