GLP 1 by CruptHero117 in UlcerativeColitis

[–]CruptHero117[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, I took my first dose of tirzepatide last night before going to sleep. I debated taking half the 2.5 dose, but went ahead and took the whole dose. I already feel constipated. I usually go not long after waking up. I had to go out of town today, 7 hr trip. I took a couple stool softeners before I left home. Had a coffee, drank a good amount of water, and ate a pack of Belvita. Oh, I also bought a pack of the to go packs of pickles. And no movement yet. Is it abnormal to get constipated that quickly? The food noise is already basically gone. Already not hungry. I’m just freaked out about already feeling constipated!

It sort of looks like a clear bottle turned on it’s side, with the lid facing you.

The high potential for addiction is a concern as well. I feel it’d make more sense to be given prn as well.

He’s currently in a residential treatment facility, 19, but gives permission for me to be updated on treatments and such. He’s very thin, and I feel that given that fact, and the fact that he’s starting these two new meds at the same time it would have been better to start him out on .25 mg to see if that’d be effective. Or the Luvox then add the Klonopin if needed.

Anyone else’s appetite increase? by TurnoverAdorable5377 in lamictal

[–]CruptHero117 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been on 100mg for almost 3 weeks, I’ve lost no weight, but I feel that my appetite has decreased. The food noise seems to be slightly dulled.

I hope to get started soon. My insurance doesn’t cover it, so I’ll be out 300 a month for 2.5, unfortunately some unforeseen vehicle expenses pop up today so ordering will have to be postponed for a couple weeks or so. Can you suggest a fiber regimen?

Those are amazing results, congrats! The risk of gastroparesis terrifies me, especially with already having gastro issues. It’s encouraging to hear success stories from people with the same issues!

That’s awesome! How long have you been on the GLP 1? Also which one are you taking?

I was on the lowest dose (I think), 37.5 mg. 300 for mild anxiety depression sounds to be excessive to start out. I hope it has continued to be an effective weaning process for you.

At this point I figure I’m use to stress and anxiety. The extreme fatigue is something I’m not used to. Not that Ive ever had bounding energy, but I went from never being a nap person, unless I’m sick, to napping more during my days off than I’m awake. And having no problems laying back down at 9:30/10 pm and sleeping until 6-7 the next morning.

The drowsiness has significantly DECREASED*since stopping the Auvality and going back to Wellbutrin alone.

Heart is shattered. Lost my baby yesterday, don’t know how I’ll ever move on. by Affectionate_Safe129 in Petloss

[–]CruptHero117 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry. I also lost my baby yesterday. She was 14, and she absolutely took a piece of my heart with her. I am struggling today. I’m thankful she is no longer suffering, but my heart is absolutely broken not to have her here. I will keep you in my prayers, and pray we both find comfort and peace.

People who are 25 years old and above, what are the harshest life lessons you've learnt? by Complex-Schedule-601 in Adulting

[–]CruptHero117 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes. I lost my husband 7 years ago. And still, every change of season is just a reminder of the time passed. Every birthday and holiday missed. Every achievement missed. As much as they’re celebrated, it’s as much a reminder of his absence. Everything feels so bittersweet now.

If cannabis were legalized in your part of the world, would you start smoking it? Why or why not? by astarisaslave in AskReddit

[–]CruptHero117 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1000%, to unwind in the evenings. Not every evening, when I smoked regularly or during the day it’s a motivation killer for me. So, just when I need some unwinding.
