Crap! Took Cagri instead of Tirz...

My hunch is... extremely bad GI issues. Think severe nausea, vomiting, maybe dry heaving, abdominal pain/cramps, plus either diarrhea or constipation, a random audit from the IRS, all your exes calling all at once, and feeling totally drained. These are the big side effects even at normal doses (something like 47% reported nausea at 4.5mg in a big trial), and they get amped up with higher doses. At 15mg, expect it to hit hard and last for days (the half-life is ~7–8 days, so it sticks around). Also maybe low energy, and dehydration from all the puking. There weren't any major red flags like pancreatitis, thyroid problems, or severe hypoglycemia in the trials (the risks are low even at high doses), but an overdose can make everything worse. There's no antidote, just try to manage the symptoms. It clears out of your system slowly (half of it is gone in about a week).

If the vomiting becomes uncontrollable, you get super dehydrated, can't keep fluids down, or feel disoriented, get to the ER ASAP for IV fluids, anti-nausea meds (like Zofran), and monitoring. Poison control centers report that similar GLP-1 overdoses have been resolved with fluids and controlling the symptoms, and there was no long-term damage reported.

What to do now:

Drink lots of fluids! Electrolytes are a good idea (like Pedialyte, broth, or Gatorade zero). If you feel nauseous, just take small sips. Avoid solid foods until things calm down.
Anti-nausea tricks: ginger, slow breathing, resting in an upright position, and OTC meds like Dramamine or Bonine if it's mild (but a Zofran prescription is better for severe nausea).
Monitor your symptoms, weight (you're likely to lose weight quickly from not eating), and blood sugar if you're diabetic. If your heart is racing, you have severe pain, or you can't keep anything down for 12–24 hours → seek medical attention.
Skip your next doses until this all clears up! That is my best educated guess.
 
I've seen people say they didn't start losing till 1mg... I wonder, did anyone lose on the lower doses, like .25mg or .5mg? I'm curious about those super responders!
 
I think everyone is different.

I dropped about 20 pounds in the first month on .5mg of semaglutide, but I was also counting every calorie and hitting my daily step target.
This is important, you can't rely on the drug alone.
 
I've heard some peeps are splitting doses... thinking of trying that. I'm on 1mg now, but I'm hungry again by Monday morning after my shot on Thursday night. Anyone split their dose before?
 
Sema ranks highest for appetite suppression. Works great until it doesn't, then adding cagri (amylin angle) can make a real difference. I switched to tirzepatide early this year and it's been solid. Take time with your decision and pick what feels right.
 
Everyone's different with how they respond. Some feel it at 0.5mg and others need 6mg or higher. I titrated up over two months and didn't notice much until I hit 5mg twice weekly. Now at 6mg and it works fine, just not quite as strong as some other options.
 
Mine kicked in fast, maybe within 24 hours. Not so much stopped wanting to eat as noticed portions shrink naturally. Eventually the constant thinking about food just went away. At 10 months now I have to be careful to eat ENOUGH or I'd skip meals entirely.
 
Started noticing the appetite drop within a day. At first it was just portion size, but over time the cravings faded too. Now food is fuel instead of something I think about constantly. The mental relief is huge. After a few months the noise was completely silent. Been 10 months in now and I have to be careful to hit my protein and calories, without tracking I'd probably only eat 1200 a day.
 
Reta not agreeing and the survo stack having sides - cagri as the next logical add at 15-20mg tirz is a reasonable plan and the OP's accidental 15mg cagri dose will give you a lot of data points on how you actually respond to it before you intend to. Not ideal timing but useful information. How's the OP doing a few hours out?
 
Slow titration 0.25 to 0.5 to 2.4 with the effects changing over time is useful context for the OP who just hit 15mg in a single accidental dose. The short-term experience for the OP will probably be a strong version of what you experienced at the lower doses early on. How long did the initial strong response take to change for you?
