Wow, almost a year on the magic juice!

Hong Kong Yanpep International
i reconned with 3ml bac in the original vial, moved it to a clean 10ml vial and added another 3ml. started low at 1.5mg, just slight tightness at pin site. hoping to bump to 2.5mg over the next few days.
 
Looking for input on skin reactions. Wife was fine through 2.5 and the first 5mg dose, but starting the second 5mg shot she got red itchy bumps exactly one day after. Happened again at dose 4. We rotate sides. Anyone else had this delayed onset only after going up, and did it settle as your body adjusted?
 
switched to something else recently and sweets cravings came back, which is weird. could be lower dose. miss when 2.5 of the other stuff killed cravings and gave weight loss. energy's fine though — doc has me on test so that probably covers the low energy issue.
 
That sucks, sorry. One piece of bread wrecked me for days too at first. Don't jump doses up if nausea's bad — semaglutide punishes you when you eat the wrong stuff. Check what you're having and how much. Drop the dose if you need to. No rule says you have to go up every visit.
 
dosing ranges pretty wide in the research — from 100-500 mcg daily for 10-20 days up to 5-10 mg daily depending on the protocol. some do 100-500 mcg for 10 days on, 20 off, repeated monthly. what dose did your guy use and did it work? any side effects? also intranasal vs what?
 
Almost a year through the nausea and side effect phase and still going is the part that doesn't show up in the before/after post. The 7k daily walks and nutrition discipline behind the number is what holds when the medication levels out. Dedicated is exactly the right word.
 
Took my last shot on July 2nd at 1.25, so fingers crossed the symptoms wind down soon. Some days I actually make it fine until evening without constant anxiety hanging over me, which gives me a bit of hope this might be gradually letting up.
 
One injection and I was sicker than I've ever been, apart from one food poisoning that came close. Three days of misery, then it lifted, but I felt a bit seasick for a solid two weeks after.
 
Three years and a month on it for me. The start was hard, once I reached a 1mg dose, with rough side effects for a few months, then they leveled out. Mostly it was an aversion to smells now and then. Sometimes food smelled weird and I could not eat it. Like being pregnant! I spent two years on 2mg, and they just dropped me to 1 again since my A1C sat too low (4.7, while normal runs 5.5 to 6). After the reduction I feel perfectly normal, side effects gone.
 
Everyone's experience really is different. I felt something from my very first shot, which honestly threw me. Mild nausea that zofran handled when it got bad, some light constipation unless I ate the wrong thing and then it flipped to diarrhea, plus headaches and heavy fatigue pretty constantly early on. December marks a full year for me and most of that's faded except the fatigue, that's still daily, and the diarrhea still shows up if I overdo it or eat something I shouldn't. Other than that though I genuinely love this medication. Dropped over 100 pounds in under a year and couldn't be happier.
