I took my first injection last night .25 and I’ve thrown up like 5 times since…

Is that normal? Is .25 too much for first time? Is it a mix of something I ate before my first shot? Am I dying? What’s happening…
 
What exactly did you inject? Tirz? Cagri?

How confident are you that you dosed correctly? What was your vial mg contents, amount of water added, and amount of water injected?
 
I put 100 units water into the powder. Let it mix. Then made 4 syringes of 25 each.
If the vial contained one milligram of semaglutide, then you did it right. If it contained more, then you have an explanation of what went wrong. A one milligram vial of semaglutide sounds like an usually low weight to me but I'm new to semaglutide.

The box said 5mg…. Did I accidentally take double?
 
I'm shocked, SHOCKED, that folks will willy-nilly throw some amount of water in a vial, pull some amount out, and think "yea, this is fine!".

These peptides are DRUGS! No different than any pharmaceutical. You absolutely MUST know what you're doing when it comes to dosing, or you might end up in the hospital (that has happened with GLP-1 overdose).

Willy nilly? I followed the direction the video the pharmacist sent me.
 
Oh my goodness. This is it. Unless this has been going on for a while on this forum, it's officially become apart of the Reddit/Facebook saga.

1. You didn't calculate ANYTHING properly if you have a 5mg vial.
2. Why did you pull 4 syringes?! Leave it in the vial. Hello bacteria while it sits in the syringes for a month.
3. Now that you have syringes - what are you planning to do now that the doses are effed up? Pin part of your prefilled syringe and save the rest of the syringe for another week?
4. I don't believe a pharmacist gave you something to reconstitute. For this exact reason? Messing up dosages.

Please hydrate yourself, eat bland foods until it passes, and for God's sake EDUCATE yourself before you inject yourself. Peptide knowledge is more than knowing what each peptide does for you. Learn the basics and revisit. Maybe you should start on Peppys.

The truth is we wanna be nice and not gate keep....but this truly isn't for everybody.
 
100 units added to a 5mg bottle gives you 20 doses of .25 at 5 units per dose. So you took 5x the starting dose, assuming I'm understanding you correctly.

Can you post the instructions you were given and pictures of the vial?

Stay hydrated. Gatorade (not Gatorade zero) because if you have low blood sugar you'll feel even worse and it can even be dangerous. Plain rice, protein if you can stomach it. Depending on how you feel consider seeking medical advice. Hypoglycemia can be dangerous enough to snag a hospital admission. If you have a glucose monitor, use it.

Chances are you need to trash the syringes you made.

*I've edited because I said mL instead of units. 100ml is quite a lot.

It sounds like you took 1.25 mg. That is 5 times the recommended starting dose. I would expect you to get quite sick. It is good thing that you came to this forum and asked. I recommend, however, that you try another forum, the Reddit site https://www.reddit.com/r/tirzepatidehelp/. It is far more friendly to newbies. You don't know what you're doing in terms of reconstituting. That's okay. But you need to ask more before you do stuff. And you probably should read more This site, glpforum.com, has many great things going for it. It has people with a great deal of experiencing using and reconstituting GLP-1 drugs. However, it can be a little harsh on new people. People here will sometimes act shocked that you don't know something. People here will sometimes answer a question by saying you need to do more research. The Reddit site I mentioned is more friendly, although its users are actually less experienced in general than the folks here. I want you to be very careful. Semaglutide and tirzepatide are great drugs. However, when you get them off the grey market and reconstitute, you're playing doctor and compounding pharmacist. I'm not saying only professionals can get good results. But you have to work hard or there is good chance you will harm yourself.

Not trying to beat you up, just outlining the facts for you:

It appears that you've taken 5x the starting dose of Sema. You are supposed to take 0.25 mg (mass) of Sema NOT 0.25 ml (volume) of the syringe.
  • 5mg in 1 mL of fluid
  • you made (4) equal syringes from your reconstituted vial
  • 5mg / 4 equal syringes = 1.25 mg in each syringe
0.25 mg (starting dose) * 5x = 1.25mg taken (same as your syringe)

You might want to talk to your doctor and stay hydrated, this will likely last a week. Additionally, you may experience severe constipation and/or dehydration. Water, water, water is going to be your friend...Hope you feel better soon!

Just speculation here, but it sounds like maybe the vendor sent this guy the tirz instructions for his sema vial. 4 doses of tirz from a 10mg vial is a sensible start. Even the smallest sema vials (2mg) are going to have 8x starting doses in them, nobody is making 1mg sema vials that I am aware of.

so my man, once you’re feeling better get in touch with the place that gave you that video and seek some clarification (and a refund for the product you’re probably going to throw away).

And if they messed up and caused you to 5x dose don’t be afraid to name and shame them here so future potential customers are aware, we love that kind of thing

Circling back to your OP...

If you are vomiting a lot, you risk serious dehydration. Additionally, vomit or not, a high dose of GLP-1 can drop blood sugar to dangerous levels.

Either of the two scenarios above can be life threatening. Please, lookup the symptoms of both and be ready to recognize them. This list is probably not exhaustive, either.
 
At this point I'm not even annoyed that this sort of stuff keeps happening.

It has become so common and bad that it crossed the threshold into becoming entertaining.
To the point I wish someone would compile all of this nonsense in one place so when I'm bored I can get out the popcorn and just read.
 
i took 2mg semi for my first dose last friday. I threw up a few hours later and had hiccups all week.

i wasn't convinced you really had to start low and titrate up. but i found out thru experimentation its definitely necessary.
I know others applaud you for this type of reckless behavior… I just think it’s funny that all of the trials, data and science weren’t enough to convince you to try and titrate normally. Unless you’re just doing it for the lolz like the Johnny Knoxville of peptides.
 

What are Ozempic Hiccups?​

Ozempic is a medication that belongs to the class of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists. It is used to improve blood sugar control in adults with type 2 diabetes. Hiccups, also known as singultus, are sudden, involuntary contractions of the diaphragm muscle. They can occur due to various reasons, including the use of certain medications like Ozempic.

Causes of Ozempic Hiccups​

While the exact mechanism behind Ozempic hiccups is not fully understood, it is believed to be related to the effect of GLP-1 receptor agonists on the central nervous system. Other factors that may contribute to hiccups include:

  • Stimulation of the phrenic nerve
  • Irritation of the diaphragm
  • Gastroesophageal reflux
  • Distension of the stomach

Treatment of Ozempic Hiccups​

If you are experiencing hiccups while taking Ozempic, it is important to consult your healthcare provider. They will evaluate your symptoms and may recommend the following treatment options:

  1. Discontinuation or dose adjustment : In some cases, hiccups may resolve on their own once the body adjusts to the medication. Your healthcare provider may consider reducing the dosage or switching to an alternative medication if the hiccups persist.
  2. Medications : Certain medications, such as baclofen or chlorpromazine, may be prescribed to help relieve hiccups. These medications work by affecting the nerves and muscles involved in the hiccup reflex.
  3. Home remedies : There are several home remedies that may provide temporary relief from hiccups, including holding your breath, drinking a glass of water quickly, or gently pulling on your tongue.

Prevention of Ozempic Hiccups​

While it may not be possible to prevent hiccups entirely, there are some measures you can take to minimize the occurrence of Ozempic hiccups:

  • Slow and steady : When starting Ozempic or adjusting the dosage, it is important to follow your healthcare provider's instructions. Gradually increasing the dosage can help your body adapt to the medication and reduce the likelihood of hiccups.
  • Proper injection technique : Ensure that you are administering Ozempic correctly, as improper injection technique may increase the risk of hiccups and other side effects. If you have any doubts or concerns, consult your healthcare provider or a qualified healthcare professional.
  • Avoid triggers : Certain foods, drinks, and habits may trigger hiccups. It can be helpful to identify and avoid your personal triggers. Common triggers include carbonated beverages, spicy foods, and excessive alcohol consumption.

Conclusion​

Ozempic hiccups can be an uncomfortable side effect of the medication, but with the right approach, they can be managed effectively. If you are experiencing hiccups while taking Ozempic, it is important to consult your healthcare provider for proper evaluation and guidance. They can help determine the underlying cause of your hiccups and recommend appropriate treatment options. Remember, Statcare is here to support you in your journey towards better health and well-being. Schedule a consultation today and let us help you manage your Ozempic hiccups and improve your overall quality of life.

Key Takeaways

  • Ozempic hiccups are a common side effect of the medication.
  • The exact cause of Ozempic hiccups is not fully understood, but it is believed to be related to the effect of GLP-1 receptor agonists on the central nervous system.
  • Treatment options for Ozempic hiccups may include discontinuation or dose adjustment, medications, and home remedies.
  • Taking preventive measures, such as following proper injection technique and avoiding triggers, can help minimize the occurrence of hiccups.
  • Consult your healthcare provider for proper evaluation and guidance if you are experiencing hiccups while taking Ozempic.

You and Lullabytreehugger should hang out since you’re both reckless. Can’t decide which of you is the bigger fool bc wtaf 😳

Money spent on research and medical studies is useless I guess. This forum is one train wreck post after the other

yea, you draw the line where you want to draw it and everyone else who steps over that is a fool.

superchicken? i'll say.
 
Ugh, what's with all the hostility?

Look at how peptides are marketed and pushed, no wonder people consider them harmless and make mistakes.

And let's be real, the glp-1s are rather harmless - So the real danger of making a mistake isn't all that big (though it should definitely be avoided).

OP assumed they got proper advice from a source they decided to trust. It's like harassing the victim of a scam for being an idiot - Is that really necessary?

But if you want a board where new members are afraid to ask for advice or make posts that could help someone else avoid a mistake - then go right ahead...

OP hasn't been back since. Little worried.

I do genuinely worry about hypoglycemia, but I've had diabetic patients in the ICU for it. I'm not medically minded enough to know if it's that bad for a non-diabetic.

I don’t think it’s hostility, just incredulity at what people are willing to do to themselves without properly understanding or knowing what they’re doing. I don’t use glp’s, but found this forum looking for other peptides. I lurked for months though and read everything I could before purchasing anything. I cross referenced with online prescribers and medical resources + other groups. I searched vendor names outside of this place. It seems most people just jump in and are reckless with their health. It’s all over this forum and bad info keeps being repeated.

These kinds of incidences are what land users in the hospital and bring even more scrutiny.

I genuinely hope that guy is ok, but stuff like this shouldn’t happen. New users should feel safe to ask questions *before* they go injecting themselves.

Scanned your post history, and see you’re an attn seeker. Reminds me of the fat friend who makes self deprecating jokes and is the group clown.

I hope your quest of experiments don’t end up with permanent negative consequences, and that you reach optimal physical and mental health.

oyster is a bit of an acquired taste around here. we do appreciate him for his experiments and how fearless he seems, but there are those of us who genuinely worry about him.
(oyster, I hope your hiccups have stopped!)

Not hostile, nor asking for advice? Try reading again.

If your conclusion is the same, send me your address and i will gift you a dictionary.

Some of the comments are definitely hostile, and OP thought s/he recieved professional guidance

Superchicken1 isn’t worried about anyone. They are just being judgmental. This mindset is very familiar. They say they’re not here on the GLP-1 forum for GLPs, but for other peptides. 😂 I wonder if it’s the steroid guy from like two months ago.

Once again, I disagree entirely with you. With your mediating as if in charge and with your view that glps are relatively harmless. Miracle drugs, yes, basically harmless no. Clearly from the poster's unfortunate position, they aren't harmless at all. And if people aren't smart enough to ignore the marketing, please. He didn't get the sema from a pharmacy. What I said a while ago and was roundly and rudely attacked for, either here or on QUAlligator I don't know which one, but my view remains the same: ask questions, absolutely, ask all the questions no matter how basic, but have the intelligence to ask those questions before you screw yourself up, do some god damn reading, because only by educating yourself best as you can first will you have any sense of what you don't know or understand, and the questions you need to ask.

Sure, but what good comes from harassing someone who didn’t and ended up making a mistake anyway - it won’t rewind time.

I can’t recall saying I’m in charge of anything, neither am I mediating. I stated my opinion because i find it completely pointless to be rude to someone who already messed up. If you disagree, then you disagree 🤷‍♂️

How harmful the drug is or not doesn’t really make much of a difference, except OP wouldn’t be alive to post the question if it was a very harmful substance. Taking 5x the intended dose and getting away with feeling a bit under the weather for a week, I do consider relatively harmless.

On a side note, I have to wonder how you are surprised at someone lashing back when you call people dumb and reckless. Even if that’s an objective truth, people will still lash back if they feel targeted.

Oh please. Try reading the other posts.
 
When a kid touches then hot stove, you don’t point and laugh at them. Nobody wants that to happen. However, you do try to explain what happened and why, and definitely reinforce not to do it again.

Or you can make excuses for the them and try to make them feel like they did nothing wrong. Ultimately, that will lead to them making worse choices in the future instead of thinking back to the previous consequences of their actions.

On a side note, the concern trolling by those who pretend they are looking out for the good of this forum is laughable.

And this is why we cannot have nice things....... starting to understand the FDA just a wee bit, don't like it but understand.

But seriously don't delay seeking medical attention if you get symptoms that you can not manage at home. Be honest about what is wrong when you go too. They don't care and would rather be able to fix you than go on a fact finding journey to get you thru this. You may develop an ileus or bowel obstruction. You can do without food but need to be able to keep liquids down.

He absolutely should seek medical attention and I hope he does alright. But people like him draw attention and therefore jeopardize the whole scene.

We don’t know if OP is even alive, or in ICU, so you can’t say it’s not harmful. There’s a reason why this is all grey, and it’s not just BigPharma greed. This stuff is serious.
