slightly off topic but nausea is usually worst somewhere in the first 24 to 72 hours after the dose and then eases

genuine question, at what point does this stop being tolerable and start being a reason to stop

unrelated but is a bit of bruising at the site something or nothing

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

the hiccups are real, nobody knows why, they seem to fade after a few doses, anyway

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 d3

please get seen

hiccups. every single time. why

unrelated but do you tell your prescriber about the small stuff or only the big stuff

if a side effect is new and severe rather than familiar and annoying, that is the line

everything tastes metallic since i went up, does that settle

[edited]

nobody here can tell you whether a symptom is serious. we can tell you the ones that are always worth checking

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

started shedding hair around month 9, does it stop
