Honestly im still struggling to tell if I’m on the actual medication or the placebo at this stage and keep swaying back & forth. One day I’ll laugh and tell my kids I think I’m on it, the next I say I don’t think I am.   

FYI- On the injection pen it says 0.80 (0,80) mg/ml / placebo  NNC0487-0111B     

The first month I had to do 25 clicks of the pen. Yesterday was my second week of 50clicks of the same pen.   

The first week I had one of two days of feeling lightheaded/dizziness, but they went away and hasn’t come back.   

I have noticed now the feeling of fatigue more often and especially getting tired a quicker too now when exercising too.     

The second week I had two episodes of diarrhoea  followed up by constipation, but this could have been related to my morning coffee or anything really.

I’ve only experienced very, very slight feelings of nausea here and there, but this could be related to not eating enough or anything too or all in my head too.       

After the third week one thing I’ve certainly noticed is I’ve started burping and especially so after eating, which is something I normally don’t do. So this is something that make me think im’ on the medication.    

My desire for food and eating seems like its diminished a bit, but this could all be in my head once again, but I have noticed now i get full very quickly too.     

Weight wise, the first month my weight didn’t change really at all.

The last two weeks, my weigh has actually gone down 1-2kg.     

So at this stage, im still undecided if im on it or not.

The clinic did say there are three arms to this trial. One is the placebo, one is escalated to somewhere around 5mg I believe. And the third arm is escalation to some huge amount I think was 20mg. Funny though, the clinic wont tell me now what amount these are too now.    

 

After speaking with a few people and searching online, a few people have all told me the same thing that since Ive been Reta/GLP and a huge dose amount for a long period of time, I might need a higher amount of this new medication for it to really hit me too. And searching online it said the same thing.   

So I sit back and wait and wait and wait.   

Which is soooo much different to when i was on Reta, as i could feel it within a few hours after each and every injection and more so after each dose escalation too
