Reminder for secretagogue_sy: dose day is today. Set 2 days ago.
a lot of what people call fatigue on this stuff turns out to be dehydration or undereating
dropping back a rung for a fortnight is a completely legitimate move
the hiccups are real, nobody knows why, they seem to fade after a few doses, ask me again in a month
is the nausea meant to be worst around day 2 or is that just me
fibre before pills
do you tell your prescriber about the small stuff or only the big stuff
i keep a one line note per day. it is the only way i could see the pattern
eating small and often was the only thing that made the first month liveable for me
genuine question, at what point does this stop being tolerable and start being a reason to stop
nausea is usually worst somewhere in the first 24 to 72 hours after the dose and then eases, your mileage will differ
[edited]update on the earlier thing hiccups. every single time. why
for the archive powering through is how people quit entirely. reducing is how people stay on it
drop a rung
sorry youre having a rough one
it got better for me
sorry to jump in new severe right upper quadrant pain after fast weight loss is a get seen situation
escalation is when most of the trouble happens, not the absolute dose
day two is the worst
| Step | What | Give it |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | water, properly, all day | 3 days |
| 2 | soluble fibre | 4 days |
| 3 | magnesium | 3 days |
| 4 | stool softener | 3 days |
| 5 | pharmacist | now |

coming back after 4 months off: do the side effects reset
*Janoshik not the other one
for the archive my resting heart rate went up a few bpm and stayed there. worth logging from baseline, i have it written down somewhere
that settles

anyone had the fatigue turn out to be something boring like not drinking enough
how long did it take for the GI stuff to actually settle for you
| Step | What | Give it |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | water, properly, all day | 3 days |
| 2 | soluble fibre | 4 days |
| 3 | magnesium | 3 days |
| 4 | stool softener | 3 days |
| 5 | pharmacist | now |
is it the dose or the escalation that causes the nausea
water first

right upper side pain on and off for a week, should i be worried
the dose day matters more than the dose for the GI stuff, at least for me
reflux getting worse is documented enough that it is worth mentioning to a prescriber
what did your gallbladder symptoms actually feel like before it got diagnosed
rotate the site
update from 6 months ago: the nausea did settle, around week seven, completely
taste changes settled for me around week eight and never fully came back
has anyone had reflux specifically get worse rather than better
[edited]whats actually worked for anyone on the constipation, ive tried everything
has anyone had a side effect that got worse at a lower dose
genuine question magnesium citrate worked for me where oxide did nothing. that might just be absorption
thats not a chat question

protein
how do you cope with the smell of food when nothing is appealing
😂3
protein and iron are worth checking if the hair thing is dragging on past six months, not advice obviously
let the alcohol dry before you inject. that alone fixes a lot of the stinging

please get seen
hope it settles

ginger did nothing for me and worked for two other people here. thats where the evidence is at, take that with a pinch of salt

anyone found the fatigue lifted when they fixed their protein

sulphur burps. is there anything at all that helps
dont push through
is there a reason nausea is worse if i skip breakfast
if you have stopped enjoying food entirely and are not eating, say so, we will help you build meals

im at week 11 and eating maybe 900 calories without trying to, is that a problem
