Bad side effects

[Foreverboymumma]

So I’m on week 15 week 3 of 3.75mg!
I don’t know why but this week it has hit me like a ton of bricks!

appetite has gone! I’m eating 800-1000 cals for the past 4 days!
I feel sick on and off, I had crazy diarrhoea on Tuesday!
a bit ‘off’ like light headed and just crappy! I’m trying to drink lots of water!
any advice? I think I’m coming off.. I don’t like these side effects but for somebody who has health anxiety I’m panicking xx

That's frustrating x
The side effects could be ramping up because mounjaro builds in your system week to week (so this is probably the highest you've had in your body so far).
Definitely try to eat more and have some sugar if you're feeling off.

Thankyou so much for your reply I’m currently in bed absolutely freezing, shivery! I’ve just had 2 slices of toast I just feel a bit light headed even laying down😰 I’ve had a bit of diarrhoea this evening with those stomach cramps!

im gutted 😞 but I feel so off x

Aww hope you feel better soon. If you can have a cup of tea with some sugar. I've honestly found the dizzy/off feeling can be linked to low blood sugar, and having a glucose tablet or some honey makes a huge difference. Keep us posted on how you're getting on x

Thankyou for your replies x I still keep feeling all kinds of rough! Still a bit dizzy, panicky it’s weird!
and I just don’t feel hungry what so ever! I need to force something down me. I’m just trying to drink lots and lots of water, and I’ve taken some vitamins this morning.

probably doesn’t help I’m tired.
im just not sure what to do at this point x

Hi
sorry to resurrect this- I am feeling the same today, did it go away or did you stop taking it? Thanks

You could have just gone too low for too long on the calorie.

Fast800 do some really nice shakes. I get the normal vanilla - make it up with some almond mild. Comes in around 200 calories. It's loaded with vitamins, minerals, fibre and protein.

Also dizzy, panicky - could be low blood sugars. So sucking on a dextro tablet or drinking some flat lucozade might help.

If you can't eat much then you need to go for high calorie foods when you do eat - nuts are pretty good - almonds, cashew etc.

Hope you're feeling better!
