Highlights from this day
- VialBot — Inter-lab diff for lot D-0718: 99% vs 98.6%. Within expected range. 19:59
- hiccup_hollis — week 9 and still nauseous, at what point is this not going to settle 20:20
- hiccup_hollis — the dose day matters more than the dose for the GI stuff, at least for me 20:30
- hiccup_hollis — genuine question, at what point does this stop being tolerable and start being a reason to stop the dose day matters more than the dose for the GI stuff, at least for… 20:43
- oli_orals — i had gallstones confirmed on a scan after losing quickly. slow down if you can 21:28
i lost my gallbladder in 2024 and i tell people that not to frighten them but because slowing down is free
[edited]genuine question if a side effect is new and severe rather than familiar and annoying, that is the line
if you are under 1000 calories by accident that is a problem, not discipline
coming back after 23 months off: do the side effects reset
rotate the site
everything tastes metallic since i went up, does that settle
let the swab dry

genuine question eating small and often was the only thing that made the first month liveable for me
is it the dose or the escalation that causes the nausea
🔥1
started shedding hair around month 18, does it stop
update on the earlier thing water first, then fibre, then magnesium, then a softener, then a pharmacist. in that order
nobody here can tell you whether a symptom is serious. we can tell you the ones that are always worth checking
anyone get properly wiped out for a day or two after the dose
thats not a chat question
fibre before pills
protein

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

escalation is when most of the trouble happens, not the absolute dose
sorry youre having a rough one
eat more
ok so is a bit of bruising at the site something or nothing
powering through is how people quit entirely. reducing is how people stay on it
day two is the worst
week 9 and still nauseous, at what point is this not going to settle

has anyone had reflux specifically get worse rather than better
hiccups. every single time. why
the dose day matters more than the dose for the GI stuff, at least for me
✅4❤️1
new severe right upper quadrant pain after fast weight loss is a get seen situation
a lot of what people call fatigue on this stuff turns out to be dehydration or undereating
sulphur burps. is there anything at all that helps
is the nausea meant to be worst around day 4 or is that just me
the sulphur burps seem to track fatty meals for a lot of people here, including me
genuine question, at what point does this stop being tolerable and start being a reason to stop
the dose day matters more than the dose for the GI stuff, at least for me
protein and iron are worth checking if the hair thing is dragging on past six months, your mileage will differ
slightly off topic but the burps started at 0.25 and not before, has anyone else had that
sorry to jump in the hiccups are real, nobody knows why, they seem to fade after a few doses
reflux getting worse is documented enough that it is worth mentioning to a prescriber
drop a rung
update from 13 months ago: the nausea did settle, around week seven, completely
i had gallstones confirmed on a scan after losing quickly. slow down if you can
❤️6👀6
magnesium citrate worked for me where oxide did nothing. that might just be absorption
dont push through
do you tell your prescriber about the small stuff or only the big stuff
magnesium
if you have stopped enjoying food entirely and are not eating, say so, we will help you build meals
it got better for me
[edited]electrolytes made more difference to my fatigue than anything else i tried
that settles
same at week 3
hope it settles
anyone found the fatigue lifted when they fixed their protein
magnesium
whats actually worked for anyone on the constipation, ive tried everything
is there a reason nausea is worse if i skip breakfast
