How long for this to pass?!

I took my first 5mg dose yesterday and have woken up feeling dreadful! Nauseous, upset stomach, heavy limbed. Feel sick at the thought of food, and frankly everything.

Felt okay on 2.5mg and lost 7lbs. I assumed the move up would be okay.

I have a really busy day at work today and I really can’t miss it! I’m also going on holiday on Monday!

Can anyone share their experience of feeling ill after moving up a dose and how long it lasted? I’m going to go back down to 2.5 I think. Thanks.

I am at 3.75 but still have 2.5mg pens. I use a syringe because I do not want to inject twice (45+45 = 90).

If you use a syringe for the first couple of doses you'll find the plunger doesn't move properly to dispense the medication. I think you can mess around with it to make the plunger catch up but I've never tried it myself.

Ah, thank you for that. Sound like if I start with a syringe I’d have to continue with one

@PinkTonic So after 4 doses of 2.5mg, you’re suddenly an expert now? Maybe less snark and more careful reading of posts might help? 😂
