[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m considering going on Wegovy, but I’ve been following some people on TT and some are getting really sick on it. So sick that they have to go to the ER. If you’re on it, can you share with me how you’ve felt, especially with nausea? Also, do you find that certain food cause sickness?

If you're in some of the FB groups, I've seen people talking about getting sick, but I do wonder what "really sick" means – and I think it means something different for everyone.  I assume TT is even more dramatic because...it's TT.

Some people can't tolerate even mild nausea, but I've had GI issues my whole life, so my tolerance of feeling "off" is probably higher than many.  I'm on week 7, starting with 4 weeks at .25 and then going to .5 and my side effects have been mild, with the worst the very first week.  Even then, it was mild nausea and mild fatigue.  No food aversions or anything that came close to vomiting.  I'm sure there is a percentage of people who can't tolerate these meds at all, but I suspect user error is to blame a lot of the time.  Also, drama gets clicks.

This is a really bad take. I'm not a dramatic person, typically have a very strong stomach, ramped up even slower than recommended (stayed on 0.25mg for 7 weeks), and was pretty sick on and off the first three months, including episodes of vomiting and miserable nausea and heartburn, plus the horrible and excessive sulphuric burps. This is not an uncommon experience. They're not exaggerating for clicks, it's just that everyone is different and reacts differently, so it's wise for OP to anticipate these kinds of side effects.

Fair enough – I’m the PP.  I don’t have much to compare it to, so thank you for saying this.  Genuinely.  Admittedly, I have felt that a lot of the people complaining have been overly dramatic, so your post helps put in better perspective that I’ve just been lucky and not just “people are dumb.”  I don’t mean that as jerkily as it sounds – there are just so many crazy posts ranging from “it’s already been 2 days and I haven’t lost weight” to “I took the whole pen at once, is that okay” that I’m clearly just being a judgy jerk here.  I hope you’re feeling better and good luck to OP.[/quote]
