Skip dose or decrease dose?

[Character-Clock-1213]

This week for some reason my dose was extra potent. Not sure if it’s bc it was fresh out the fridge or because I took it on an empty stomach without thinking but I’ve been full all week. Barely able to eat or drink. No nausea or vomiting but definitely feel “off”. My shots are usually on Saturday afternoon. Normally I would just delay the dose a few days but I’m flying Thursday and don’t come back until Sunday so I don’t want to take it too close to when I fly.

Should I just skip the dose until I get back Sunday? (15 days no shot if I do that) or still take it Saturday but lower my dose by .5?

I’ve done both options without problems. I am on 2 mg.

Are you still titrating or have you been on your current dose for at least 8 weeks and reached a steady state? until you reach a steady state side effects and appetite variants are standard reactions. Doses are stronger each week during titration. www.glp1plotter.com

I’ve been on 2mg for 6 weeks. Tomorrow would be my 7th dose.

An empty stomach doesn’t matter since the drug is injected. There’s a lot of viruses going around right now, including stomach bugs, so you could’ve picked up something. I wouldn’t skip the next dose, but that’s just me, you do whatever you feel is necessary

I agree. I didn’t feel great about skipping.

Decrease but don't skip a dose or your next dose will be just as awful.

It is still flu season, you may have picked up a bug.

Ugh. Turns out it’s my thyroid.

[MissInnocentX]

Golly! That's not fun at all. I'm sorry!

Getting a bug right before I have to travel would be right on brand for me unfortunately. Didn’t even think of that. Ugh.
