nausea day 2 post-injection like clockwork, week 14, does it ever stop
Fourteen months of logging this. Pattern is boringly consistent: injection evening fine, day 1 fine, day 2 rough from about mid-morning to bedtime, day 3 onwards fine.
It has got milder over time but it has not gone. Every dose step resets it to about where it was at the start, then it fades over three or four weeks.
Question for people further along than me: does the day-2 pattern eventually disappear, or does it just become background?
best — the order this archive was captured in
Nineteen months at maintenance. Mine became background and then stopped being noticeable, but the honest answer is that I cannot tell you whether it went away or whether I stopped noticing it. Those feel the same from the inside.
What definitely changed: no dose steps means no resets. Most of what you are describing is escalation, not the drug.
"most of what you are describing is escalation" reframes fourteen months of my own log in one sentence. every reset was a step.
Which fits the mechanism. The GI effects track the change in gastric emptying rather than the absolute level, so a new dose produces a new adaptation period. Once you stop changing the input the system settles.
Day 2 specifically is roughly where the concentration peaks after a subcutaneous dose, which is why the timing is so reproducible for so many people.
and this is why moving to friday evening works. it does not reduce anything, it just moves day 2 onto a saturday.
the thing that actually reduced it for me was stopping at 70% full. not a supplement, not timing, just eating less at once on day 2.
i have tried about nine things and that is the only one that survived contact with my own log. ginger did nothing.
Good post. Reminder for the thread: dose, week number and titration speed in the body or nobody can help. This post has all three, which is why the replies are useful.
my day-2 came with the sulphur burps and i want it on record that those are worse than the nausea and pass just as reliably.
mine got worse for three weeks then better than baseline. the "worse before better" shape catches people out because it looks like deterioration.
half the day-2 reports i read are dehydration wearing a costume. not all. half.
tracked fluid intake for six weeks specifically to test this. no correlation in my data. edit: which is one person, and hank is right often enough that it is worth checking.
if you still have nausea at week 14 you are on too high a dose
That is a dose recommendation for an individual and it is removed everywhere on this site. Leaving it visible with this reply because the pattern is worth seeing rather than hiding.
