Highlights from this day
what did your gallbladder symptoms actually feel like before it got diagnosed
📉3
drop a rung
whats actually worked for anyone on the constipation, ive tried everything
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 d3protein
the hiccups are real, nobody knows why, they seem to fade after a few doses, from memory
it got better for me
[edited]how do you cope with the smell of food when nothing is appealing
the dose day matters more than the dose for the GI stuff, at least for me, we shall see
if you are under 1000 calories by accident that is a problem, not discipline
let the swab dry
that settles
do you drop back a dose for side effects or push through
[edited]genuine question, at what point does this stop being tolerable and start being a reason to stop
please get seen
reflux getting worse is documented enough that it is worth mentioning to a prescriber
sorry youre having a rough one
magnesium citrate worked for me where oxide did nothing. that might just be absorption
sulphur burps. is there anything at all that helps
site itching is common and rotation fixed it for most people i have seen post about it
day two is the worst
ginger did nothing for me and worked for two other people here. thats where the evidence is at, your mileage will differ
protein and iron are worth checking if the hair thing is dragging on past six months
update on the earlier thing electrolytes made more difference to my fatigue than anything else i tried
anyone get properly wiped out for a day or two after the dose
📉5🧊6
nobody here can tell you whether a symptom is serious. we can tell you the ones that are always worth checking
is there a reason nausea is worse if i skip breakfast
my resting heart rate is up about 3 bpm, is that a known thing
if a side effect is new and severe rather than familiar and annoying, that is the line
Reminder for slow.taper: dose day is today. Set 8 days ago.
coming back to this has anyone had a side effect that got worse at a lower dose

dropping back a rung for a fortnight is a completely legitimate move
eat more
👍14
has anyone had reflux specifically get worse rather than better
📈3🧊16🤝2
coming back to this week 4 and still nauseous, at what point is this not going to settle
my resting heart rate went up a few bpm and stayed there. worth logging from baseline
water first, then fibre, then magnesium, then a softener, then a pharmacist. in that order
the sulphur burps seem to track fatty meals for a lot of people here, including me
