Shot anxiety is real and almost everyone has it the first few times - the needles are much smaller than they look, and most people find it stops being a mental hurdle after the second or third injection. A few things that helped people getting started: ice the injection spot for 30 seconds...

The starting dose being 0.25mg is intentional - it feels like almost nothing for most people, which is by design. The GI system needs time to adapt before you hit the suppressive dose. Don't panic if the first week or two feels underwhelming. First real appetite changes usually show around weeks...

The shot itself is easy - 4mm 32g needle goes in at 90 degrees with an auto-injector, you barely feel it. Shot anxiety before the first one is always worse than the actual injection, which takes about 5 seconds. First week: track your injection spot, hydration, and what you ate so side effects...

So much talk about pooping lol. I just started and I'm peeing like every hour. Anyone else?

I only chucked once, and it was after demolishing a huge piece of Sam's Club carrot cake. Way too rich! The couple other guys I know using Mounjaro haven't had any vomiting issues.

how long have you been on this? fatigue is normal at first but sudden severe fatigue after a while isn't. get blood panels done because fatigue can be tons of different things. shouldn't be getting medical advice on reddit.

For sure! That's likely if you gained muscle in the meantime. Check this out:

People do it both ways—personal call. Some use stated mg, some adjust to tested amount. But testing one vial isn't enough data for the whole batch. Mass and purity at least tell you what's in that one. I just dose by stated mg and count overfill as a bonus 😂

There really isn't a great search here, but try Google: 'site:glp1forum.com' plus your query. Way more reliable.

I think people on this med are less likely to become insufferable because we know it could've gone the other way without science helping us out.

Has anyone been feeling super cold all the time? I feel like I can't get warm anymore. I'm wondering if it's the meds, the calorie deficit, or just because I've lost some weight?

I'm kinda in the same boat. Been on sema for around 5 months now. Lost like 30 pounds in the first 3 months. The last couple months have been way slower for me. I've lost another 5-7 pounds and I'm on 1mg. I'm aiming to lose another 10-20 pounds. I think it probably does get slower as you get...

I'm taking both. No problems at all.

I do both. They affect your body differently. Your doctor knows best. I stopped needing insulin, but I still use metformin.

Both of you look great! Congrats!
