Did anyone else have awful side effects? If so, what did you do?

On W1D4 I became very ill, throwing up all night which triggered some more serious health concerns. I skipped jab 2 and jab 3 time is approaching.

I'm not sure what to do and I wondered what others have done in a similar situation experiencing bad side effects. At what point did you quit?

So, a little update from me. I skipped week 2 and did week 3 / jab 2 at 1mg. Only side effects were constipation and metallic taste in mouth. Before the end of 30 days I’m going to take a third and fourth jab at 1.25mg each.

And I have ordered a second pen from Stace down the road. Oops, I mean the pharmacy.

I did, first jab I was really really sick and very poorly, wasn't sure if it was a bug and a coincidence so did the second jab after 2 weeks and the same happened. Tried 1.25 but same again, thankfully I guess my BMI was on the cusp anyway so coming off it wasn't as life changing decision as if I had a substantial amount to lose. It has kept me motivated though to go it alone because I keep thinking of the awful alternative!

I lasted three weeks on Wegovy.
Sickness and diarrhoea plus constipation
I ended up in hospital as unbeknown to me I had gallstones. I'm now waiting on gallbladder removal.

Personally I wouldn't take WLJ again as my bowel has never recovered. I had great constitution now I struggle processing food. I've reported it to the manufacturer.
