[Results] 67 weeks, 40kg, and hair loss was the hard part

Discussion Well Actually ×2 Cold Box ×3 Slow Clap ×1

Confession thread, sort of.

I went from 7.5mg to 2.4mg much faster than I should have because the scale had stalled and I got impatient. The stall broke about 2 weeks later, at which point I had no way of knowing whether the dose increase did anything or whether it would have broken anyway.

So now I have constipation I did not need and a data point I cannot interpret. Two lessons in one.

Posting it in the hope that somebody at week 65 reads it before doing the same thing.

Is that before or after you stabilized your heart rate?

Disagree but this is the good kind of wrong — it is specific enough to be checked.

Yeah, the early fullness hit on day 12 for me too, not day 1.

Tracking number removed. It identifies both ends of a shipment.

u/priya_weissOP83 points·1 year ago

Slight fix: the number was 99.2, not 94.2. Decimal point, but a fairly consequential one.

Strongly agree. Describe your dose, your week number, and your titration speed or nobody can help.

Edit to your parent would help — the concentration you quoted assumes one scenario and you have written another above it.

week 41 and the injection-site soreness is finally getting better

resting heart rate moved up 16 bpm and settled back down when I stopped escalating

Same experience. Week 16 and it simply stopped. I know that is not useful information but it is what happened.

nausea on day 2 is normal, nausea after week 53 is worth checking

u/priya_weissOP43 points·1 year ago

My the food-noise thing was worst at 0.25mg and better at 10mg, which makes no sense but it is real.

Disagree. What you are describing is consistent with gallbladder, not with what you concluded.

Yes, exactly this, and it is the bit that took me 39 weeks to accept.

This is the "correlation is mechanism" thing again. You changed three variables at once.

About c/sideeffects

Side-effect experience and management, with a strong bias toward the ones that are common and boring (nausea, constipation, reflux, fatigue, sulphur burps) and a hard line on the ones that are not (severe abdominal pain, persistent vomiting, jaundice, vision changes). This community is not a substitute for urgent care and the mods will say so bluntly.

c/sideeffects rules
  1. Severe or escalating abdominal pain is an urgent-care question, not a forum question. We will lock those threads with a pointer to help.
  2. Describe your dose, your week number and your titration speed — otherwise nobody can help.
  3. No diagnosing strangers. Share what happened to you.
  4. Independent community. Nobody here sells anything, and anyone who tries is banned.
  5. Not medical advice. Describe what you did; never prescribe to a stranger.
  6. Claims need evidence. Batch numbers, dated screenshots, independent test reports, or a citation.
  7. No referral links, discount codes or affiliate URLs. Permanent ban, no appeal.
  8. No contact handles, wallet addresses or tracking numbers — they identify people.
  9. Be recognisably decent. Disagree hard, insult nobody.
