just that really. My body was really really unhappy with mySimba. It did stop my appetite, but i felt so ill, nauseaus, dizzy, out of it that i stopped after 10 days as i just couldnt function.
I am considering weight loss injections as an alternative. And i know theres only really one way to find out. But i am asking if anyone else had tried both but not had extreme side effects from injections.

No experience with mysimba but ozempic has caused coeliac disease in a relative who is on it.

@thesugarbumfairy
Hey. Did you give Ozempic a go?
Im about to start my 3rd week of Mysimba and the side effects are preventing me from functioning normally, I’m so fatigued in the afternoon I have to go to bed and I feel nauseous pretty much all day after taking it. I don’t think I can continue on it, I have two small children so I can’t spent all day mopping around like this! 🥱😔

@Lifelessonssuck I started mounjaro a week and a half ago and I'm fine. Very very minor side effects for me (at this point - it may change when the dose goes up!) which are mild nausea and mild headaches. Nothing like what happened when I tried MySimba

Started mysimba today. I knew there were side effects but omg I thought I was going to die! I took 1 pill in the morning with breakfast and about 3 hours later felt really sick. Didn’t feel hungry and had no desire to eat. It made me very tired, I was very dizzy and was having double visions, had heart palpitations and feeling extremely thirsty and dry mouth. 14 hours later I’m still feeling nauseous, don’t think I should continue!

Picked mysimba because the side effects seemed less extreme than the Injection medication.
Have taken a second one today , hopefully a better day with it
