#side-effects 2026-05-14
- queue_position — the burps started at 1.7 and not before, has anyone else had that 20:53
- week_three_wall — ok so started shedding hair around month 12, does it stop 21:13
- VialBot — Verification log updated: CPC — evidence added, status unchanged. 21:58
- clothes_size_cass — let the alcohol dry before you inject. that alone fixes a lot of the stinging 23:06
do you drop back a dose for side effects or push through
let the alcohol dry before you inject. that alone fixes a lot of the stinging
day two is the worst
follow up nausea is usually worst somewhere in the first 24 to 72 hours after the dose and then eases
that settles
new severe right upper quadrant pain after fast weight loss is a get seen situation
drop a rung
magnesium
update on the earlier thing week 6 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
rotate the site
coming back after 10 months off: do the side effects reset
while im here is the nausea meant to be worst around day 6 or is that just me
reflux getting worse is documented enough that it is worth mentioning to a prescriber
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 d3how long did it take for the GI stuff to actually settle for you
anyone get properly wiped out for a day or two after the dose
the burps started at 1.7 and not before, has anyone else had that
is it the dose or the escalation that causes the nausea
genuine question, at what point does this stop being tolerable and start being a reason to stop
right upper side pain on and off for a week, should i be worried
how do you cope with the smell of food when nothing is appealing
whats actually worked for anyone on the constipation, ive tried everything
has anyone had reflux specifically get worse rather than better
taste changes settled for me around week eight and never fully came back
ok so started shedding hair around month 12, does it stop
[edited]update from 14 months ago: the nausea did settle, around week seven, completely
please get seen
the hiccups are real, nobody knows why, they seem to fade after a few doses
unrelated but sulphur burps. is there anything at all that helps
what did your gallbladder symptoms actually feel like before it got diagnosed
water first
ginger did nothing for me and worked for two other people here. thats where the evidence is at
eat more
has anyone had a side effect that got worse at a lower dose
fibre before pills
quick one dropping back a rung for a fortnight is a completely legitimate move
anyone had the fatigue turn out to be something boring like not drinking enough
same at week 3
sorry youre having a rough one
genuine question anyone found the fatigue lifted when they fixed their protein
if a side effect is new and severe rather than familiar and annoying, that is the line
powering through is how people quit entirely. reducing is how people stay on it
Verification log updated: CPC — evidence added, status unchanged.
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
if you are under 1000 calories by accident that is a problem, not discipline
severe persistent pain radiating to the back, or repeated vomiting you cannot keep water down through, is not a chat question, i could be wrong
the sulphur burps seem to track fatty meals for a lot of people here, including me
hiccups. every single time. why
dont push through
protein
it does stop
my resting heart rate went up a few bpm and stayed there. worth logging from baseline
is there a reason nausea is worse if i skip breakfast
electrolytes made more difference to my fatigue than anything else i tried
taste changes settled for me around week eight and never fully came back, n of 1 obviously
let the swab dry
does eating before or after the injection make any difference
i had gallstones confirmed on a scan after losing quickly. slow down if you can
magnesium citrate worked for me where oxide did nothing. that might just be absorption
the hiccups are real, nobody knows why, they seem to fade after a few doses
follow up the dose day matters more than the dose for the GI stuff, at least for me
unrelated but is a bit of bruising at the site something or nothing
i lost my gallbladder in 2024 and i tell people that not to frighten them but because slowing down is free, for what its worth
let the alcohol dry before you inject. that alone fixes a lot of the stinging
dose day = d0
0.25mg nothing much
0.50mg d1-d2 mild
1.00mg d1-d3 moderate

my resting heart rate is up about 7 bpm, is that a known thing
severe persistent pain radiating to the back, or repeated vomiting you cannot keep water down through, is not a chat question
if you have stopped enjoying food entirely and are not eating, say so, we will help you build meals
hope it settles
site itching is common and rotation fixed it for most people i have seen post about it
that settles
