Second dose 5mg feel so sick

Has anyone else experienced this?

I moved up to 5mg last week after doing four weeks on 2.5mg. So far my only side effects were mild nausea the day after injecting and I've been getting really good suppression and lost nearly a stone.

I've been feeling great on it so far and really positive as it has helped me quit alcohol too. I have about six stone to lose with high blood pressure and sleep apnea I really need this to work.

I decided to move straight up to 5mg after the four weeks as I still have sugar cravings and the food noise is not gone completely however.

I felt fine after my first jab of 5mg last week but took my second dose last night and woke up with horrible burps, really bad nausea and nearly threw up when cleaning my teeth. I feel freezing cold and haven't eaten anything all day just lots of tea and water.

I've read a few threads about the second dose of 5mg being worse for side effects and wondered if this is a thing? Will this pass or should I move back to 2.5mg next week?

Hi @ILoveaSunflower I had exactly the same - gradually eased off over 2-3 days. I took my 3rd 5mg yesterday and feel absolutely fine (was dreading it) today. Just good suppression, no side effects so far. Hope you feel better soon.

I was the same, it eased off, third jab was fine, now happily on 10.

It's a thing, it should wear off in a couple of days.

You need to eat. Keep moving and try to distract yourself- it should pass. Not eating will make the nausea worse.

I've managed a banana but that's it. I Keep gagging and the burp s are awful. I'm hoping to sleep it off tonight and really hoping this will pass.
