hope it settles
escalation is when most of the trouble happens, not the absolute dose
genuine question, at what point does this stop being tolerable and start being a reason to stop
protein and iron are worth checking if the hair thing is dragging on past six months
that settles
if you are under 1000 calories by accident that is a problem, not discipline
protein
it got better for me
site itching is common and rotation fixed it for most people i have seen post about it
day two is the worst
right so severe persistent pain radiating to the back, or repeated vomiting you cannot keep water down through, is not a chat question
quick one the dose day matters more than the dose for the GI stuff, at least for me
rotate the site
dont push through
how long did it take for the GI stuff to actually settle for you
eat more
i keep a one line note per day. it is the only way i could see the pattern
magnesium
a lot of what people call fatigue on this stuff turns out to be dehydration or undereating
water first
new severe right upper quadrant pain after fast weight loss is a get seen situation
if you have stopped enjoying food entirely and are not eating, say so, we will help you build meals
unrelated but ginger did nothing for me and worked for two other people here. thats where the evidence is at
if a side effect is new and severe rather than familiar and annoying, that is the line
the sulphur burps seem to track fatty meals for a lot of people here, including me
update from 8 months ago: the nausea did settle, around week seven, completely
my resting heart rate went up a few bpm and stayed there. worth logging from baseline
please get seen
the shed usually starts month three to four and usually stops. it tracks how fast you are losing
severe persistent pain radiating to the back, or repeated vomiting you cannot keep water down through, is not a chat question
is there a reason nausea is worse if i skip breakfast
has anyone had reflux specifically get worse rather than better
i lost my gallbladder in 2024 and i tell people that not to frighten them but because slowing down is free
does eating before or after the injection make any difference
Assay note: FGP lot A-2418 reported at 99% of label content.
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
everything tastes metallic since i went up, does that settle
drop a rung
let the alcohol dry before you inject. that alone fixes a lot of the stinging
it does stop
magnesium citrate worked for me where oxide did nothing. that might just be absorption
nobody here can tell you whether a symptom is serious. we can tell you the ones that are always worth checking
same at week 3
anyone get properly wiped out for a day or two after the dose
sorry youre having a rough one
eating small and often was the only thing that made the first month liveable for me
| 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 |
taste changes settled for me around week eight and never fully came back
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
dropping back a rung for a fortnight is a completely legitimate move
water first, then fibre, then magnesium, then a softener, then a pharmacist. in that order
i had gallstones confirmed on a scan after losing quickly. slow down if you can
quick one the burps started at 0.25 and not before, has anyone else had that
the shed usually starts month three to four and usually stops. it tracks how fast you are losing
the hiccups are real, nobody knows why, they seem to fade after a few doses
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 d3hiccups. every single time. why
started shedding hair around month 23, does it stop
sorry to jump in electrolytes made more difference to my fatigue than anything else i tried
has anyone had a side effect that got worse at a lower dose
[edited]thats not a chat question
update from 12 months ago: the nausea did settle, around week seven, completely
do you tell your prescriber about the small stuff or only the big stuff
week 19 and still nauseous, at what point is this not going to settle
let the swab dry
protein
im at week 14 and eating maybe 900 calories without trying to, is that a problem
nausea is usually worst somewhere in the first 24 to 72 hours after the dose and then eases, your mileage will differ
is a bit of bruising at the site something or nothing
dont push through
water first
