escalation is when most of the trouble happens, not the absolute dose
i lost my gallbladder in 2024 and i tell people that not to frighten them but because slowing down is free

Highlights from this day
- LC_MS_Lena — my resting heart rate went up a few bpm and stayed there. worth logging from baseline 22:30
- salt_bridge — severe persistent pain radiating to the back, or repeated vomiting you cannot keep water down through, is not a chat question 22:39
- VialBot — Recon calculator: 5mg in 2ml = 8mg/ml. 22:54
- tokyo_taper — sorry youre having a rough one 22:56
- tokyo_taper — if a side effect is new and severe rather than familiar and annoying, that is the line 23:38

magnesium
the hiccups are real, nobody knows why, they seem to fade after a few doses
dont push through

im at week 15 and eating maybe 900 calories without trying to, is that a problem
do you tell your prescriber about the small stuff or only the big stuff

everything tastes metallic since i went up, does that settle
magnesium citrate worked for me where oxide did nothing. that might just be absorption, thats just me
protein and iron are worth checking if the hair thing is dragging on past six months

i keep a one line note per day. it is the only way i could see the pattern
it does stop

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, not advice obviously
it got better for me

water first
eating small and often was the only thing that made the first month liveable for me
coming back after 17 months off: do the side effects reset

is the nausea meant to be worst around day 2 or is that just me
if you are under 1000 calories by accident that is a problem, not discipline
nobody here can tell you whether a symptom is serious. we can tell you the ones that are always worth checking
rotate the site
follow up water first, then fibre, then magnesium, then a softener, then a pharmacist. in that order
is there a reason nausea is worse if i skip breakfast
reflux getting worse is documented enough that it is worth mentioning to a prescriber
that settles

same at week 3
the shed usually starts month three to four and usually stops. it tracks how fast you are losing
the dose day matters more than the dose for the GI stuff, at least for me
if a side effect is new and severe rather than familiar and annoying, that is the line

anyone get properly wiped out for a day or two after the dose
