sorry to jump in nausea is usually worst somewhere in the first 24 to 72 hours after the dose and then eases

Highlights from this day
- power_through_no — reflux getting worse is documented enough that it is worth mentioning to a prescriber 14:53
- split_shipment — i had gallstones confirmed on a scan after losing quickly. slow down if you can site itching is common and rotation fixed it for most people i have seen post about it 15:20
- meal_prep_mick — the shed usually starts month three to four and usually stops. it tracks how fast you are losing 16:04
- taper_tess — do you drop back a dose for side effects or push through 17:56
powering through is how people quit entirely. reducing is how people stay on it
unrelated but the hiccups are real, nobody knows why, they seem to fade after a few doses, thats just me
[edited]day two is the worst

escalation is when most of the trouble happens, not the absolute dose
genuine question taste changes settled for me around week eight and never fully came back
site itching is common and rotation fixed it for most people i have seen post about it
severe persistent pain radiating to the back, or repeated vomiting you cannot keep water down through, is not a chat question

i lost my gallbladder in 2024 and i tell people that not to frighten them but because slowing down is free, your mileage will differ
dropping back a rung for a fortnight is a completely legitimate move, thats just me
a lot of what people call fatigue on this stuff turns out to be dehydration or undereating
the sulphur burps seem to track fatty meals for a lot of people here, including me
my injection site itched for three days, normal
the shed usually starts month three to four and usually stops. it tracks how fast you are losing

hope it settles
genuine question, at what point does this stop being tolerable and start being a reason to stop
[edited]sorry youre having a rough one
is a bit of bruising at the site something or nothing
[edited]ok so started shedding hair around month 2, does it stop
if a side effect is new and severe rather than familiar and annoying, that is the line
my resting heart rate is up about 2 bpm, is that a known thing
my resting heart rate went up a few bpm and stayed there. worth logging from baseline
it does stop
ok so nobody here can tell you whether a symptom is serious. we can tell you the ones that are always worth checking
if you are under 1000 calories by accident that is a problem, not discipline
protein and iron are worth checking if the hair thing is dragging on past six months
dont push through
water first, then fibre, then magnesium, then a softener, then a pharmacist. in that order

do you drop back a dose for side effects or push through

magnesium
update from 14 months ago: the nausea did settle, around week seven, completely
eating small and often was the only thing that made the first month liveable for me
the dose day matters more than the dose for the GI stuff, at least for me
my resting heart rate went up a few bpm and stayed there. worth logging from baseline
im at week 24 and eating maybe 900 calories without trying to, is that a problem
thats not a chat question
