Have taken some time off to drive DC to their GCSE's. I did want to start MJ - but starting next week or so will clash with the driving (hour there and back). Am I risking the runs/nausea etc?? just when I definitely need to be out and about. better to wait until half term to start?

i never had any side effects. I put it down to good clean eating

I was about to post 'an hour should be ok' but actually I would say why not wait.

Some people have had reactions to the medication from the first dose, there is no way to tell how you will react, you will probably be ok, but also might not be.

If you did have unpleasant side effects do you have a plan B for dc to get to their GCSEs? If not I would wait.

Side effects can happen at any stage - most commonly between 8 and 72hours after injecting so you cannot really time it you just have to hope for the best @Alicay

Some do not get any side effects, some get horrendous ones.

My side effects, if I get any usually appear around 48hours after injecting.

I have had at different times indigestion, constipation and occasional nausea.

Just ensure you drink loads of water, eat healthily as fried, greasy or spicy food can really up the chances of side effects.

There are quite a lot of threads in the weight loss injections section with loads of advice and others experience, there are also threads each month for users starting that month to give support.

Thanks all. Sounds like it's best to start when the exams are over.
That bikini body will have to wait. Ha.
