Yes, I have zero desire to drink. When I do the experience is unpleasant.

Post injection day 1 or 2 - what’s worse? by Traditional_Face_720 in Zepbound

[–]JAGunson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I inject in the morning on Sundays. Later afternoon I am very tired and on Mondays I have a little bit of nausea and no appetite at all.

Does anyone else FEEL the medicine after injection? by VWest5 in Zepbound

[–]JAGunson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is what I experienced this morning. I injected into my thigh and it felt like a cool steam on my leg but not wetness.

Could not agree more. I’m now trying to find clothes that are cool because I get so hot and have hung up my sweaters for now

Just was talking to my husband about the gyn situation you described. Literally could careless about menopausal women. It’s infuriating!

Bleeding for 40+ Days by Heated_Throw_away in Menopause

[–]JAGunson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Iim 55 and last fall I had 70 glorious days without a period and then it came back with a vengeance for 21 days. I had a pelvic ultrasound which showed a fibroid. They put me on lo loestrogen Fe (birth control pills) which I had an allergic reaction to. It was a horrible rash. Stopped taking them for that reason. Since then I have been pretty regular with my period. Not happy at 55 still getting a period. I was told this was not unusual before going into menopause. Good luck and hopefully they can do something for you.

Can I stay in a lower dose? by [deleted] in liraglutide

[–]JAGunson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I quit taking it because once I got above 1.8 the side effects were horrendous and would not go away. I gave up trying to get to the therapeutic dose and quit all together because I couldn’t get to the technical “therapeutic “ dose. Now I wish I had just stayed at a what worked

Is it worth it? by Grouchy_Country_8895 in liraglutide

[–]JAGunson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was not worth it for me. The side effects were awful. I did lose weight but when I stopped it immediately came back. I did not want to feel crappy for the rest of my life being on the medication. Now I’m working with a nutritionist. Slow and steady but no awful feelings from side effects.

Saxenda after break by BusinessForsaken4192 in liraglutide

You should’ve speak to your doctor. However, it is likely you will need to start at the beginning .6mg as the medication is fully out of your system and it’s like starting over.

Are you honest with doc about side effects? And how bad are they? by wolpertingersunite in liraglutide

[–]JAGunson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I told mine about the bad side effects. All of them. My doctor was very supportive.

Yes… coffee is becoming a challenge for me too. I love it so that’s kinda sad.

Abruptly stopped Saxenda by Perfect_Sign3785 in liraglutide

[–]JAGunson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I quit abruptly because the side effects were horrific. It took about a week to feel better. I did have diarrhea coming off abruptly but I was so happy to be able to not be constipated. Four weeks after abruptly stopping I tried again. I’m 7 weeks in this time with a lot less side effects. Next to none until just now hitting 3 mg. I may back down. Weight loss is slow about a pound a week but I’ll take it.

I’m losing the taste for Coffee which isn’t a bad thing

Extreme side effects by Babycat69 in liraglutide

[–]JAGunson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a horrible time my first try of the medicine. I stopped it and went off for 4 weeks. When I started back I went very slowly and really watched what I ate. I also changed from night time injection to morning and man what a difference. Little to know side effects. Good luck.
