Please tell me it gets better.
It’s 8 PM on a Saturday night, usually take my shot at noon on Saturdays. I moved up to 5 mg last Saturday and I ended up feeling absolutely wretched Sunday day and well into Monday evening. Monday morning, while walking my dog, I had to pull over and throw up into a bush. I ended up with fatigue so bad on Monday. I called into work, slept on and off all day, and then slept 8 PM to 7 AM that night. When I was on 2.5 mg I had some side effects; mild nausea, a little bit of fatigue but nothing like this. I’ve lost a not insignificant amount in the last six weeks since I’ve been on this medication, and ideally I’d like keep going. I felt great later in the week, but those first 48 hours were horrendous. Please tell me that the side effects ease somewhat as time goes on because I’m sitting here staring at the pen on the counter terrified because I know what’s coming.
