Vial cap sizing varies by brand. Standard 10mg vials typically take 13mm caps - worth confirming the diameter before ordering.

The carb piece is often what stalls people in the final stretch. Too restricted for too long and energy drops, which makes the last few months harder. Adding moderate carbs back around workouts specifically tends to help more than adding them generally.

The distinction between side-effect nausea and a concurrent illness matters when you're at the start. The doctor flagging fever as a separate signal is exactly right - fever isn't a GLP-1 response, so the timing is likely coincidental. Rest and hydration until the virus clears. When you restart...

your body's thermogenesis drops with weight loss. i found my cold feeling went away after i stabilized at a lower weight and bumped calories back to maintenance while building some muscle.

Those PTDS water tests were super helpful. They looked at BAC water over like 90-120 days and showed most people could keep using it way longer than expected. Over on Peppys there's a whole thread about bacteria filtering that's pretty interesting if you're into that stuff.

If you're really obese and cut calories super hard, that much loss is normal. But you're not actually learning how to be healthy or fueling your body right. Learn to eat like a regular healthy person—good protein, real carbs not junk, good fats. Work with a dietitian if you don't know how. Meds...

That's why I prioritize regular check-ups with my doctor. If I notice any changes, I'll address them immediately. No point in worrying about hypotheticals.

Wow, that sounds rough. I can see how that could mess with your head. Maybe talking to someone could help?

I haven't had the *exact* same experience, but congrats! It sounds awesome! I'm definitely calmer and dwell less on bad moods. They pass faster. I'm less anxious, which is a big reason I don't want to stop this med!
