#side-effects 2026-04-04

it got better for me

if a side effect is new and severe rather than familiar and annoying, that is the line

same at week 3

magnesium citrate worked for me where oxide did nothing. that might just be absorption, not advice obviously

right upper side pain on and off for a week, should i be worried

anyone had the fatigue turn out to be something boring like not drinking enough

ok so new severe right upper quadrant pain after fast weight loss is a get seen situation

how do you cope with the smell of food when nothing is appealing

rotate the site

for the archive how long did it take for the GI stuff to actually settle for you

please get seen

im at week 25 and eating maybe 900 calories without trying to, is that a problem

has anyone had a side effect that got worse at a lower dose

fibre before pills

dont push through

severe persistent pain radiating to the back, or repeated vomiting you cannot keep water down through, is not a chat question

unrelated but i keep a one line note per day. it is the only way i could see the pattern, your mileage will differ

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

a lot of what people call fatigue on this stuff turns out to be dehydration or undereating

for the archive week 9 and still nauseous, at what point is this not going to settle

do you tell your prescriber about the small stuff or only the big stuff

sulphur burps. is there anything at all that helps
let the alcohol dry before you inject. that alone fixes a lot of the stinging

my resting heart rate went up a few bpm and stayed there. worth logging from baseline

escalation is when most of the trouble happens, not the absolute dose

let the swab dry

that settles

eating small and often was the only thing that made the first month liveable for me

while im here everything tastes metallic since i went up, does that settle

coming back to this nobody here can tell you whether a symptom is serious. we can tell you the ones that are always worth checking

for the archive the dose day matters more than the dose for the GI stuff, at least for me, i could be wrong
nobody here can tell you whether a symptom is serious. we can tell you the ones that are always worth checking

coming back to this protein

the burps started at 1 and not before, has anyone else had that

eat more

sorry to jump in protein and iron are worth checking if the hair thing is dragging on past six months

update from 24 months ago: the nausea did settle, around week seven, completely

site itching is common and rotation fixed it for most people i have seen post about it

anyone get properly wiped out for a day or two after the dose

the shed usually starts month three to four and usually stops. it tracks how fast you are losing
