the hiccups are real, nobody knows why, they seem to fade after a few doses
anyone had the fatigue turn out to be something boring like not drinking enough

electrolytes made more difference to my fatigue than anything else i tried

update from 7 months ago: the nausea did settle, around week seven, completely
let the alcohol dry before you inject. that alone fixes a lot of the stinging
the sulphur burps seem to track fatty meals for a lot of people here, including me
thats not a chat question
how do you cope with the smell of food when nothing is appealing
everything tastes metallic since i went up, does that settle

sulphur burps. is there anything at all that helps

for the archive 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, thats one data point
rotate the site
what did your gallbladder symptoms actually feel like before it got diagnosed
day two is the worst
eating small and often was the only thing that made the first month liveable for me

if you have stopped enjoying food entirely and are not eating, say so, we will help you build meals
it got better for me
the dose day matters more than the dose for the GI stuff, at least for me
[edited]sorry youre having a rough one
the shed usually starts month three to four and usually stops. it tracks how fast you are losing
do you tell your prescriber about the small stuff or only the big stuff
has anyone had a side effect that got worse at a lower dose

follow up taste changes settled for me around week eight and never fully came back

let the swab dry
has anyone had reflux specifically get worse rather than better
i keep a one line note per day. it is the only way i could see the pattern, we shall see
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 d3please get seen
water first, then fibre, then magnesium, then a softener, then a pharmacist. in that order
*VendorInvestigate not the other one
for the archive whats actually worked for anyone on the constipation, ive tried everything

new severe right upper quadrant pain after fast weight loss is a get seen situation, ill dig out the number
dropping back a rung for a fortnight is a completely legitimate move

same at week 3
reflux getting worse is documented enough that it is worth mentioning to a prescriber
my resting heart rate is up about 7 bpm, is that a known thing

magnesium
site itching is common and rotation fixed it for most people i have seen post about it, i think

escalation is when most of the trouble happens, not the absolute dose
[edited]nobody here can tell you whether a symptom is serious. we can tell you the ones that are always worth checking, take that with a pinch of salt
[edited]magnesium citrate worked for me where oxide did nothing. that might just be absorption
quick one fibre before pills
ginger did nothing for me and worked for two other people here. thats where the evidence is at

if you are under 1000 calories by accident that is a problem, not discipline, your mileage will differ
a lot of what people call fatigue on this stuff turns out to be dehydration or undereating
started shedding hair around month 18, does it stop

drop a rung

powering through is how people quit entirely. reducing is how people stay on it
