anyone else notice constipation kicking in around week 7
anyone else notice constipation kicking in around week 7. Numbers below. Ask me the boring questions, they are the useful ones. Most of the common complaints trace back to slowed gastric emptying — early fullness, reflux, nausea after a large or fatty meal. That is also why meal size and speed change the experience…
Removed the specific recommendation. Describe your own experience here; do not tell another member what to take or what dose to be on.
Nobody warned me about injection-site soreness and I would have liked the warning. It was not dangerous, it was just deeply unpleasant and completely unexpected.
Disagree. Severe abdominal pain is not on the list of things to wait out, and this board should not be treating it as one.
nobody warns you about how much of this is timing rather than dose
That symptom is not the one being described upthread. Two different things with similar names and the answers are not interchangeable.

Agreed, with the caveat that "usually settles" is not "always settles" and the exceptions should still get asked about properly.
Held the dose for an extra six weeks instead of stepping. The food noise settled and I lost the same amount anyway.
Correction: that is a known effect of reduced intake rather than a direct drug effect. The distinction matters because the fix is different.
Not convinced by that mechanism. Slowed gastric emptying explains fullness and reflux; it does not explain what you are describing.
