Just that. Started 9mg this morning(have worked my way up) and I’m floored. Feel like I’m dying - no energy, nausea, generally very unwell. Anyone else had this? Any tips to combat gratefully recieved.

It’s certainly doing the job, but wondering if anyone has experienced similar?

I'm like this on 1.7. I have felt absolutely dreadful. Nausea, exhaustion, stomach is just awful, can't eat much at all!!

I’m like this on .25, it’s awful :(

I was like this on the lowest dose and had to give up.

Maybe I should have stuck it out a bit longer I don't know. I was being very sick though.

This is the tablet - sorry, should have said

Did you find anything else that worked without making you feel sick?

Does it get better as you get used to the pills or worse as you go up? I have 9 next month and two lots of 25 after that scared i wont be able to tolerate them and will lose all my money!

The only time I ever had an issue with feeling very sick was on Mounjaro when I went from 2.5mg to 5mg. I bought some sugared stem ginger from Grape Tree to suck and felt much better.

I have a very bruised and stingy reaction everytime with Wegovy, which I never had using Mounjaro. Weird.
