Just started Oz... is this normal?

First two weeks are the roughest. Nausea, fatigue, and low appetite are expected and ease off. Stay hydrated, eat slowly, don't skip meals entirely even when you're not hungry. Week 3-4 is usually noticeably better. If it's still rough past two weeks, worth checking with your prescriber about holding at 0.25 longer.
 
The chemical structure point is correct for some compound classes but GLP-1 peptides do not have the first-pass liver metabolism issue. The relevant question for sublingual GLP-1 is absorption and bioavailability, not liver toxicity. Worth knowing what category the medication falls into before applying a general warning to it.
 
Larger fill volumes extend the time the vial sits reconstituted in the fridge. One-month fills reduce that window and minimize the stability question. For a new start where the dose may change, a smaller fill also avoids waste if the protocol shifts.
 
The nausea spike on the 1mg jump is one of the more commonly reported escalation responses - the 0.5mg-to-1mg step is the one that hits hardest for most people. It typically resolves in 2-4 days as the body adjusts. At 315 lbs starting at 0.25mg, the load on the system is low - the dose-escalation schedule is designed for exactly this reason.
 
The app that comes up most here is Shotsy - it tracks injection schedules and dose history. Available in the UK and works for any injectable medication including MJ.
 
Zero appetite in the first 48 hours at 0.25mg is a typical strong initial response - it tends to settle after the first week. Forcing down small amounts is the right call; empty stomach raises nausea risk more than anything else early on.
