Anyone gone back down in dose due to side effects?

I'm a nurse and I want to share a clinical perspective on the GI side effects. What's happening in your gut during the first few weeks is the medication slowing gastric emptying significantly. This is by design — it's the mechanism that creates satiety. The nausea is your body adjusting to this new normal. It gets better as your body adapts.

The sulfur burps almost made me quit, slowing down eating helped. Smaller portions on shot day kept the GI stuff manageable. Thanks for sharing this. (Not medical advice, just my own experience.)

Cutting fatty meals the day of my shot helped the nausea. What helped you push through the plateau. So glad I'm not alone in this.

For what it's worth, Bone broth and electrolytes got me through the tough days.

Reading this and Honestly by month three the side effects basically disappeared. Hydration made a bigger difference than I expected. How long did the food noise take to quiet down. Thanks for sharing this. Everyone's different of course.

Same here, Ginger tea and tiny meals saved me through the early weeks. The week-1 nausea was rough but it really does ease up. Keep us posted! Everyone's different of course.

Adding my two cents: You're not alone in this, so many of us have been there. So glad I'm not alone in this.

Honestly, Sending solidarity, this part is genuinely hard. Rooting for you. Everyone's different of course.

Totally agree. The week-1 nausea was rough but it really does ease up. Look how far you've come.

Stay the course. Thanks for sharing this. Definitely run it by your own prescriber though.

Honestly, How are you finding the higher dose so far. Constipation was my big one, magnesium at night helped a ton. Thanks for sharing this.

Adding my two cents: You should be really proud. Ginger tea and tiny meals saved me through the early weeks.

Sending good vibes your way. Smaller portions on shot day kept the GI stuff manageable. Onward!
