Did you feel anything after your first dose

I just took my first dose.

I was wondering did any of you feel anything after you took your first dose.

Are you supposed to just feel less appetite?

Everyone is different, some feel decreased appetite quite quickly, some feel nauseous or other side effects, some feel nothing for weeks and until they are on higher doses. It can also take 8-72hrs to absorb and feel effects (if you will at this dose).

You need to wait and see how you respond as an individual.

Yeah i know that everyone will have different reactions, I'm just interested to hear what other people's reactions were.

I feel like I've felt a bit of a taste in my mouth after taking it. Has anyone felt that

No side effects but I did have strong appetite suppression for the 2 days after my first dose. That didn’t last though - for the next three weeks of 2.5, suppression was low/non existent and I had to rely on willpower and tubs of fat free Greek yogurt to get me through it lol

Always takes around 2-3 days before I feel any suppression or feeling fuller quicker and now im on 12.5mg too. if anything I'm hungrier immediately after as it increases metabolism too.

First jab on Sunday. Could barely eat until Wednesday and I’ve been ravenous since! I’d no appetite, mildly nauseated and have the taste of perfume in my mouth….

I took my first dose before I went to bed and the next morning I felt a bit of nausea, I also had no appetite, I only ate because I needed to.
Good luck with your journey .

I didn't "feel" anything. No sides effects at all. I just found myself not think about food as much after 36 hours. Couldn't eat the portions I usually would. It was subtle and effective

On taking my first dose (2 months ago) the next day I immediately noticed feeling full after my lunch and evening meal that I had reduced in size due to suppressed appetite.

I still notice suppression is highest the next three days after the injection.
It’s a feeling of feeling quite full after a smaller portion than normal and not being hungry in between meals. I don’t snack at all. I’m normally ready for dinner but truthfully I could skip breakfast and may move that way.

I had suppression almost immediately and stayed on the starter dose for two pens because it worked so well.

VashtaNerada · 28/06/2025 03:26

I felt odd from about 20 minutes after the injection and then woke during the night feeling extremely unwell. Other people seem to breeze through 2.5!
