nausea is usually worst somewhere in the first 24 to 72 hours after the dose and then eases, your mileage will differ
[edited]escalation is when most of the trouble happens, not the absolute dose
do you tell your prescriber about the small stuff or only the big stuff
water first, then fibre, then magnesium, then a softener, then a pharmacist. in that order
im at week 23 and eating maybe 900 calories without trying to, is that a problem
everything tastes metallic since i went up, does that settle
coming back to this if you are under 1000 calories by accident that is a problem, not discipline
dropping back a rung for a fortnight is a completely legitimate move
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 d3nobody here can tell you whether a symptom is serious. we can tell you the ones that are always worth checking, i could be wrong
for the archive my resting heart rate went up a few bpm and stayed there. worth logging from baseline
let the alcohol dry before you inject. that alone fixes a lot of the stinging, someone check my working
*that should say weekly
has anyone had a side effect that got worse at a lower dose
i lost my gallbladder in 2024 and i tell people that not to frighten them but because slowing down is free
i keep a one line note per day. it is the only way i could see the pattern
the dose day matters more than the dose for the GI stuff, at least for me, ill dig out the number
anyone get properly wiped out for a day or two after the dose
let the swab dry
the shed usually starts month three to four and usually stops. it tracks how fast you are losing
does eating before or after the injection make any difference
my resting heart rate went up a few bpm and stayed there. worth logging from baseline
water first
protein and iron are worth checking if the hair thing is dragging on past six months
electrolytes made more difference to my fatigue than anything else i tried, still working it out
new severe right upper quadrant pain after fast weight loss is a get seen situation
sorry youre having a rough one
update from 8 months ago: the nausea did settle, around week seven, completely
day two is the worst
is it the dose or the escalation that causes the nausea
site itching is common and rotation fixed it for most people i have seen post about it
