Highlights from this day
- chlorhex — anyone had the fatigue turn out to be something boring like not drinking enough 17:54
- hot_mailbox — my resting heart rate went up a few bpm and stayed there. worth logging from baseline, thats just me 17:57
- still_here_2024 — nausea is usually worst somewhere in the first 24 to 72 hours after the dose and then eases 19:50
new severe right upper quadrant pain after fast weight loss is a get seen situation

the burps started at 2.5 and not before, has anyone else had that
i keep a one line note per day. it is the only way i could see the pattern
is there a reason nausea is worse if i skip breakfast
the sulphur burps seem to track fatty meals for a lot of people here, including me
is the nausea meant to be worst around day 3 or is that just me
let the alcohol dry before you inject. that alone fixes a lot of the stinging
if a side effect is new and severe rather than familiar and annoying, that is the line

the hiccups are real, nobody knows why, they seem to fade after a few doses
water first
severe persistent pain radiating to the back, or repeated vomiting you cannot keep water down through, is not a chat question
protein and iron are worth checking if the hair thing is dragging on past six months, not advice obviously
magnesium citrate worked for me where oxide did nothing. that might just be absorption

im at week 13 and eating maybe 900 calories without trying to, is that a problem
[edited]quick one how do you cope with the smell of food when nothing is appealing

site itching is common and rotation fixed it for most people i have seen post about it, n of 1 obviously
taste changes settled for me around week eight and never fully came back
nobody here can tell you whether a symptom is serious. we can tell you the ones that are always worth checking
i lost my gallbladder in 2024 and i tell people that not to frighten them but because slowing down is free

sulphur burps. is there anything at all that helps

has anyone had reflux specifically get worse rather than better
let the alcohol dry before you inject. that alone fixes a lot of the stinging
does eating before or after the injection make any difference
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 d3update from 16 months ago: the nausea did settle, around week seven, completely

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

it does stop
what did your gallbladder symptoms actually feel like before it got diagnosed
[edited]please get seen
the dose day matters more than the dose for the GI stuff, at least for me
ginger did nothing for me and worked for two other people here. thats where the evidence is at, for what its worth
my injection site itched for three days, normal
protein
nausea is usually worst somewhere in the first 24 to 72 hours after the dose and then eases
🧪15👍1🔥16
anyone found the fatigue lifted when they fixed their protein
genuine question, at what point does this stop being tolerable and start being a reason to stop
[edited]day two is the worst
week 19 and still nauseous, at what point is this not going to settle
i had gallstones confirmed on a scan after losing quickly. slow down if you can
escalation is when most of the trouble happens, not the absolute dose
⚠️2
a lot of what people call fatigue on this stuff turns out to be dehydration or undereating
dropping back a rung for a fortnight is a completely legitimate move
sorry youre having a rough one
rotate the site
while im here if you are under 1000 calories by accident that is a problem, not discipline
coming back after 17 months off: do the side effects reset
electrolytes made more difference to my fatigue than anything else i tried
fibre before pills
rotate the site, take that with a pinch of salt
hope it settles
