Exhaustion after jab

8 replies

Radiator981 · 21/12/2025 13:49

I’m on my third month of 2.5mg no idea how much I’ve lost but I know at least a stone if not more. It does suppress my appetite not massively I’m happy to lose slow and steady. I have pushed back having a week’s jab like I might wait 8 days to jab cos my appetite feels suppressed enough an extra day.

also because as soon as take the jab the exhaustion that comes over me for two after - I’m shattered!! So it’s a side affect I need to manage in daily life so I knew to wait now til Friday to take my jab so I know DH is around cos I find myself just falling asleep! Any thoughts

Yes, I’m like that on 3mg. I jab on Friday and feel exhausted for much of the weekend. I don’t have too much planned for the weekends so it’s manageable.

Me too. It has gotten a bit better now - still on 2.5 week 10 this week

Yup, I sleep so well after MJ! Shattered. Dunno what week I’m on but started end of June. Am on 5mg and have almost lost 2 stone, so slow and steady.

Yes I was on mj 14.5 months and had the same after every jab for around 3-4 days, low energy, low mood and significant hair loss, I was like a zombie just wanted to stay at home and not move. I probably wasn't eating enough cals and I was prediabetic and mj affected my blood sugars and I often had crashes. I moved to wegovy just over a month ago and my side effects have vanished thankfully.

Week seven and I'm the
Same

It's not too little food, I am taking an electrolyte drink every day

It's really annoying and maybe one of the things that stops me continuing this

I was hoping for stories for people who could say it goes away

Oh ok, yeah it’s so so frustrating!! I’m just so tired on it

My friend was constantly exhausted and meh on them but it stopped once she stopped the injections.

I can definitely see it being a reason to stop
