@lisalucier I just got the RX and have not started yet! Sounds pretty awful and I am nervous to start. I am super sensitive to drugs/supplements so kind of expect the worst. Just had a terrible week with awful side effects from crestor (stopped after 6 days.) What do you do for the side effects?

@jojobee267 - I take odansetron, but unfortunately you can't take it preventatively. So, at the slightest hint of nausea, I take one, and I sometimes suck on ginger chews or have ginger tea. However, sometimes I'm "too far gone" down the nausea trail, and I fight it for hours. Sometimes it's almost better to let myself go ahead and get sick, so at least I feel better afterward.

I also have taken hycosamine for stomach cramping, which does work in about 20 minutes. For diarrhea, I take loperamide (Imodium).

BTW, when my husband took semaglutide (Wegovy), he had virtually no symptoms.

When will you be starting the shots?
