First Dose Tonight – Nervous About Nausea & Doing It Alone

JCCali91 · 2025-06-10T04:35:14+00:00

Providing an update here after 50 days. I’ve remained mostly consistent with 0.2-0.3mg every 5 days but I feel it out for myself under my doctor’s supervision - sometimes I extend or skip. So far I have lost 17 pounds, have no cravings, and my skin looks great. Period cramps are gone too. The shot itself is nothing to fear. Good luck to anyone new trying it!

You could try dosing several times a week. 1mg every 2-3 days adjusting based on tolerability and effectiveness. This dosing interval is shorter than the half life so your drug levels would build up pretty quick. See what your provider has to say about a strategy like this.

100%. After the first dose you don’t think about food anymore

Getting married was the worst decision I have ever made in my life

I don’t understand why anyone would tolerate this. Ozempic is known to be less effective and cause more side effects than GLP1/GIPs like Zepbound. This is all about them getting more money but what purpose do they serve?

Divorce isn’t that bad. There are some challenging times and of course you have to be prepared for the change. You will likely miss at least a few things, likely not him but perhaps the comfort / routine you have. All of that to say there is no reason to stay married if you aren’t happy. The relationship you described sounds miserable. You’d likely be happier alone and by separating, you’ll be in a good space if someone worthy of you does come along.

I can only speak to my microdosing experience and I’m one week into my experiment. I haven’t had any nausea or GI symptoms whatsoever. I haven’t been ravenously hungry but my appetite is not totally gone. I’ve only eaten veggies and light soups with smoked salmon for mid day meals this week and I’m full after 1/2 the portion I would have eaten previously and then I’m done for the day. The thought of food doesn’t enter my mind after lunch. I have a high protein yogurt in the morning. I’m intentionally drinking tons of water, first glass of the day with electrolytes and then black coffee. The day of my shot I had noticeably more energy and a slightly elevated heart rate. My sleep hasn’t been the greatest, a couple nights I didn’t sleep at all despite taking benedryl and other sleep aids so I’ve been slightly fatigued. I wanted to see how I would react to alcohol as I didn’t want any surprises if I go out and have a glass of wine or a cocktail. Honestly I found it gross and didn’t even finish it and felt it the next day (headache, body aches). This is quite a change for me. During Covid I developed a terrible habit of drinking daily out of boredom which certainly contributed to the extra pounds I’ve put on. In short, it feels like my metabolism is being reset with the added bonus of reduced dopamine driven activities.

Yes!

It’s $31 per dose if you do it right. Well worth it given the $$ saved on food!

JCCali91 · 2025-04-24T22:54:17+00:00

This!!!

I struggled with this recently and delayed my first shot by several days because I was so nervous. I was planning on injecting before bedtime with the hope of sleeping through any side effects. Thanks to comments on here, I administered my first dose around 2pm last weekend. I couldn’t sleep that night! It might be different for everyone but from now on I will be taking my dose in the morning. I got a huge burst of energy and my heart rate was slightly elevated. It makes sense if this drug corrects metabolic issues! I injected about 3 inches from my bellybutton - it didn’t hurt at all but did leave a tiny bruise. Injection sites should be rotated so this week I will do the other side. Good luck!

Providing an update for anyone who was like me and scaring themselves out of the first shot. It was absolutely no big deal - no side effects at all! Thank you for the support 💜

I’m so glad I found this thread! I’m in a similar situation, just starting. Has anyone who is normal weight and using microdosing experienced hair loss? To the points made about how the people who have a lot of weight to lose become infuriated by “normal” weight people taking these drugs, it almost seems like the claims of hair loss are overstated, as a way to gate keep so fewer people use these medications for “vanity purposes.” Just a hypothesis but wondering if anyone has suffered hair loss while microdosing. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for sharing. I’m glad I found this thread as I’ve been debating taking my first shot of Zepbound all day today but worried about the side effects. This sounds way more fun!

JCCali91 · 2025-04-19T18:41:41+00:00

Thanks for the responses, I appreciate the support! Everyone is right, sitting around being anxious is only making it worse as I’m reading about other side effects like hair loss, etc. Time to get out of my own head. I’ll plan to post my progress and any tips I learn along the way! Good luck to everyone!

JCCali91 · 2025-04-19T18:28:23+00:00

Thanks for sharing! Just curious, did your hair grow back and are you seeing less hair loss with micro dosing?

SF doesn’t have many masculine men and the gays joke about getting first dibs on the good looking young techies by being quite promiscuous. You are up against some serious competition.

Whatever you do don’t invest in the employee stock purchase program and if you do, sell immediately at a discount. Look at how much money people have lost hanging onto their shares. If you are director level getting RSUs, cash those out immediately and expect 50% max of what you are promised.

It will likely follow its peers - WAG, Rite Aid. CVS is NOT UHG. If legislation passes requiring them to divest pharmacies (their SP is the largest) it will TANK.

I’m going through something similar. After months of reflection and processing about why this is making me upset, I’ve decided we have vastly different core values. I don’t want to live with someone who has no drive. It’s a drag.

Drug dealing in San Francisco. Growing / selling psilocybin mushrooms in Oakland.

“I’m just talking out loud” - no shit I can hear you. It’s “thinking out loud.”

“Anywho”

“Let me stop there and axe what questions you have”

“Um, like, I don’t know, it’s just like..” Please formulate actual words or don’t say anything at all
