Gag-reflex on reta

[Grrrem]

My gag reflex has become very sensitive since starting reta. I can't drink anything before brushing my teeth and tongue in the morning other wise I will gag and be sick.

I have also become more sensitive to smells I previously disliked. For instance today I had 3 alcoholic drinks over a 5.5h period, not something I do often now I'm changing my lifestyle. When I decide to go home and step outside I walk into a cloud of cigarette smoke and gag so much I am sick.

Has anyone else had a very sensitive gag reflex to the point of being physically sick?

I can see from searches some people have had experience with gagging on Tirz but it's been a really obvious and consistent change for me.

I have as well. I used to be able to swallow a handful of pills with no issue. I have had to split them up now. Also once I start gagging it's hard to stop now. I usually almost have no gag reflex so takes some getting used to. Doesn't really make me sick though

Yes! definitely hard to stop once starting and previously didn't have an issue at all. Glad it's not just me, I also have issues with swallowing my supplements more than one at a time.

I haven't seen much on forums on how to fix this so far, so if you do find anything that helps let me know.

This was one of the first noticeable side effects for me. Happened the first time I went over 2mg/week. I’m on 4mg/week now and it’s not much of an issue any more. Felt like my gag reflex was sensitive for about 2-3 weeks and now it’s back to normal. Haven’t experienced any serious nausea from smells though.

Dry mouths are know side effect. Belly up
To your water bottles.

Yes, definitely have the gagging reflex, too. No knowledge or tricks to mitigate. For me the most triggering is teeth brushing and swallowing my supplements. Ugh…

No gag, but the sleeping dry mouth is there, and just started a few weeks ago.

I can’t blame Reta necessarily but just the whole GLP thing in general. I wake up repulsed by everything and can barely stand food at all til later in the day.

Yep, I notice the gag reflex is worse when brushing my teeth.

 

[ScubaSteve74]

not a gag reflex but I have had a light cough from like tingling in my throat. not sure if I coincidentally caught a cough a week after starting reta, or if its reta sensitivity related. Anyone experience anything similar?

Interesting. I've had some dry mouth but never noticed any increased gag reflex. Weird one.

I hear you! Now, when I see fresh vomit or poo, my gagging reflex really kicks in.

I've definitely had a dry mouth as well particularly after sleeping but the gagging and subsequent vomit doesn't seem to directly link to times when I've had dry mouth.

Gagging for me has been since 4mg and I'm on 6mg now.

Yup, watched a film earlier today which had copious amounts of snot and vomit in it, one scene eating an insect, qué the gagging.

Nothing so far that helps, just dealing with it. But if I do I let ya know

I'm starting to think the dry mouth is the bedtime gummy.
