eating small and often was the only thing that made the first month liveable for me
taste changes settled for me around week eight and never fully came back

dropping back a rung for a fortnight is a completely legitimate move
my injection site itched for three days, normal
it got better for me
ginger did nothing for me and worked for two other people here. thats where the evidence is at
follow up everything tastes metallic since i went up, does that settle
anyone found the fatigue lifted when they fixed their protein
reflux getting worse is documented enough that it is worth mentioning to a prescriber
week 20 and still nauseous, at what point is this not going to settle
fibre before pills
genuine question, at what point does this stop being tolerable and start being a reason to stop
electrolytes made more difference to my fatigue than anything else i tried

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

that settles
powering through is how people quit entirely. reducing is how people stay on it
severe persistent pain radiating to the back, or repeated vomiting you cannot keep water down through, is not a chat question
nausea is usually worst somewhere in the first 24 to 72 hours after the dose and then eases

whats actually worked for anyone on the constipation, ive tried everything
the shed usually starts month three to four and usually stops. it tracks how fast you are losing
i lost my gallbladder in 2024 and i tell people that not to frighten them but because slowing down is free

dont push through

let the alcohol dry before you inject. that alone fixes a lot of the stinging
same at week 3

severe persistent pain radiating to the back, or repeated vomiting you cannot keep water down through, is not a chat question, take that with a pinch of salt

let the swab dry
how long did it take for the GI stuff to actually settle for you
i had gallstones confirmed on a scan after losing quickly. slow down if you can
rotate the site

hiccups. every single time. why
water first
water first, then fibre, then magnesium, then a softener, then a pharmacist. in that order
escalation is when most of the trouble happens, not the absolute dose

unrelated but update from 12 months ago: the nausea did settle, around week seven, completely
if a side effect is new and severe rather than familiar and annoying, that is the line
escalation is when most of the trouble happens, not the absolute dose
genuine question what did your gallbladder symptoms actually feel like before it got diagnosed
i had gallstones confirmed on a scan after losing quickly. slow down if you can
Recon calculator: 40mg in 1.5ml = 10mg/ml.
my resting heart rate went up a few bpm and stayed there. worth logging from baseline, ill dig out the number

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

my resting heart rate is up about 2 bpm, is that a known thing
thats not a chat question
the hiccups are real, nobody knows why, they seem to fade after a few doses
[edited]the dose day matters more than the dose for the GI stuff, at least for me
eat more
im at week 10 and eating maybe 900 calories without trying to, is that a problem

started shedding hair around month 26, does it stop
