Highlights from this day
- area_percent — my resting heart rate went up a few bpm and stayed there. worth logging from baseline 20:10
- mhra_unlicensed — the sulphur burps seem to track fatty meals for a lot of people here, including me 20:40
- pinch_not_stretch — escalation is when most of the trouble happens, not the absolute dose, n of 1 obviously 21:04
- lyophile_liv — dropping back a rung for a fortnight is a completely legitimate move 21:23
- juniper_joins — nausea is usually worst somewhere in the first 24 to 72 hours after the dose and then eases, your mileage will differ 21:25
water first

while im here let the alcohol dry before you inject. that alone fixes a lot of the stinging
sorry to jump in is there a reason nausea is worse if i skip breakfast
please get seen
coming back to this protein and iron are worth checking if the hair thing is dragging on past six months, your mileage will differ
a lot of what people call fatigue on this stuff turns out to be dehydration or undereating
the shed usually starts month three to four and usually stops. it tracks how fast you are losing
taste changes settled for me around week eight and never fully came back
genuine question hiccups. every single time. why
thats not a chat question
hope it settles
if you have stopped enjoying food entirely and are not eating, say so, we will help you build meals
drop a rung
powering through is how people quit entirely. reducing is how people stay on it
new severe right upper quadrant pain after fast weight loss is a get seen situation, i have it written down somewhere
genuine question if a side effect is new and severe rather than familiar and annoying, that is the line
sorry to jump in does eating before or after the injection make any difference
electrolytes made more difference to my fatigue than anything else i tried
🔥15
right upper side pain on and off for a week, should i be worried
i keep a one line note per day. it is the only way i could see the pattern
anyone get properly wiped out for a day or two after the dose
[edited]coming back to this eating small and often was the only thing that made the first month liveable for me
dont push through
the hiccups are real, nobody knows why, they seem to fade after a few doses, ill dig out the number
severe persistent pain radiating to the back, or repeated vomiting you cannot keep water down through, is not a chat question
what did your gallbladder symptoms actually feel like before it got diagnosed
the burps started at 10 and not before, has anyone else had that
same at week 3
my resting heart rate is up about 5 bpm, is that a known thing
update from 4 months ago: the nausea did settle, around week seven, completely
week 5 and still nauseous, at what point is this not going to settle
*week 12 not week 5
sorry youre having a rough one
my resting heart rate went up a few bpm and stayed there. worth logging from baseline

reflux getting worse is documented enough that it is worth mentioning to a prescriber
nausea is usually worst somewhere in the first 24 to 72 hours after the dose and then eases
eat more

site itching is common and rotation fixed it for most people i have seen post about it
magnesium
anyone had the fatigue turn out to be something boring like not drinking enough
coming back to this coming back after 20 months off: do the side effects reset
do you drop back a dose for side effects or push through

has anyone had a side effect that got worse at a lower dose
is it the dose or the escalation that causes the nausea
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 d3if you are under 1000 calories by accident that is a problem, not discipline, ill dig out the number
i lost my gallbladder in 2024 and i tell people that not to frighten them but because slowing down is free
is a bit of bruising at the site something or nothing
magnesium citrate worked for me where oxide did nothing. that might just be absorption
escalation is when most of the trouble happens, not the absolute dose, n of 1 obviously

ginger did nothing for me and worked for two other people here. thats where the evidence is at
*Medutest not the other one
sulphur burps. is there anything at all that helps
*that should say weekly
Archive lookup: lyophile_liv first appears in this channel on 2025-04-12.
that settles
how do you cope with the smell of food when nothing is appealing
dropping back a rung for a fortnight is a completely legitimate move

i had gallstones confirmed on a scan after losing quickly. slow down if you can
rotate the site
it got better for me, your mileage will differ
it does stop
how long did it take for the GI stuff to actually settle for you
water first, then fibre, then magnesium, then a softener, then a pharmacist. in that order
is the nausea meant to be worst around day 3 or is that just me
🙏4
while im here that settles
