electrolytes made more difference to my fatigue than anything else i tried
is a bit of bruising at the site something or nothing
😂2🎉16
everything tastes metallic since i went up, does that settle
😂4⚠️3🧪2
magnesium
whats actually worked for anyone on the constipation, ive tried everything
magnesium citrate worked for me where oxide did nothing. that might just be absorption
sulphur burps. is there anything at all that helps
hope it settles

nobody here can tell you whether a symptom is serious. we can tell you the ones that are always worth checking
taste changes settled for me around week eight and never fully came back
dont push through
sorry youre having a rough one
protein and iron are worth checking if the hair thing is dragging on past six months
genuine question, at what point does this stop being tolerable and start being a reason to stop
if you are under 1000 calories by accident that is a problem, not discipline
do you tell your prescriber about the small stuff or only the big stuff
eat more
my injection site itched for three days, normal
anyone found the fatigue lifted when they fixed their protein

update from 26 months ago: the nausea did settle, around week seven, completely
follow up the dose day matters more than the dose for the GI stuff, at least for me
rotate the site
does eating before or after the injection make any difference
the hiccups are real, nobody knows why, they seem to fade after a few doses

day two is the worst
the sulphur burps seem to track fatty meals for a lot of people here, including me
ok so is it the dose or the escalation that causes the nausea
my resting heart rate went up a few bpm and stayed there. worth logging from baseline
coming back after 8 months off: do the side effects reset
i lost my gallbladder in 2024 and i tell people that not to frighten them but because slowing down is free
it does stop
follow up how do you cope with the smell of food when nothing is appealing
hiccups. every single time. why
[edited]im at week 27 and eating maybe 900 calories without trying to, is that a problem
my resting heart rate is up about 8 bpm, is that a known thing
water first, then fibre, then magnesium, then a softener, then a pharmacist. in that order
started shedding hair around month 21, does it stop
thats not a chat question
the shed usually starts month three to four and usually stops. it tracks how fast you are losing
eating small and often was the only thing that made the first month liveable for me
Reminder set. I will post here in 9 days.
powering through is how people quit entirely. reducing is how people stay on it
week 23 and still nauseous, at what point is this not going to settle

let the swab dry

reflux getting worse is documented enough that it is worth mentioning to a prescriber
a lot of what people call fatigue on this stuff turns out to be dehydration or undereating
what did your gallbladder symptoms actually feel like before it got diagnosed
it got better for me
please get seen
fibre before pills
is the nausea meant to be worst around day 7 or is that just me

ginger did nothing for me and worked for two other people here. thats where the evidence is at
