Increased Gag Reflex while Eating

[Dee X]

Reta folks.

I have noticed that ever since I hit 12 mg, I have:

- an actual gag reflex
- activating my gag reflex, even just by biting on an unexpected bone, makes me puke

Been on 12 mg for 3 months now and have puked 3 times from unexpected textures on my tongue while eating, which is more than I vomited in the rest of my life basically.

Anyone else have a similar experience?

sounds extremely dangerous what you're doing.

I'm not opposed to the grey market - I participate in it myself. With that said, one of the problems with buying unapproved drugs on the grey market is that it makes it difficult to ask your doctor how you should handle a problem. The doctor may say that's not a big deal and that you should temporarily lower the dose. Or the doctor may say that what you're experiencing is extremely dangerous.

I'll note that raw-oyster_eater does not have a reputation for being overly cautious. If he's saying that something "sounds extremely dangerous," that's worrying.

It’s my guess that @raw_oyster_eater is being a smartass for all the shit people give him. I assume that one flew over your head.

Perhaps I’m wrong…

You better take this comment seriously. Oyster is notoriously conservative and takes a very cautious approach to peptides.

I get gag reflexes when there is too much appetite suppression from a drug, doesn’t matter what the drug is. Food also can taste very strange in that state.

I actually get a bad gag reflex when I've had too much caffeine.

Yea the "foods taste different" is something I still got for 24h or so after the shot.

Does it affect your sense of smell to certain foods as well?

Yep, things that smelled good can smell terrible or just smell off

Heh. I cannot eat or be around salmon since starting GLP1s overall. Used to be one of my favorites.

IMO the quality of salmon has really been declining lately. I used to eat it every week and now I rarely do, also the price keeps going up lol

I haven't necessarily had a gag reflex, but I've definitely had aversions to food since starting reta (which I didn't have on sema or tirz). I can no longer eat chicken or broccoli... two of my faves!

those long white worm parasites add more protein for free.

don't worry, he's just saying that to be a jerk

 

[raw_oyster_eater]

jerk/joke yes. i'm jerk and an asshole. and thats OK

You wanna hurt me? Go right ahead if it makes you feel any better. I'm an easy target. Yeah, you're right, I talk too much. I also listen too much. I could be a cold-hearted cynic like you... but I don't like to hurt people's feelings. Well, you think what you want about me; I'm not changing. I like... I like me. My wife likes me. My customers like me. 'Cause I'm the real article. What you see is what you get.

Not on Reta, but on tirzepatide and yes I have experienced a gag reflex.
Also, sometimes food smells bad to me even when I know it is fresh and edible. I am 5mg right now but have noticed this as soon as I started back in July.

Like @Dee X asked before, how are you helping move any conversation forward here? Someone asked a serious question and your response is to make a jab rather than be helpful. I have seen this person attempt to help you and express concern for your health many times on this forum and it is clear that you do not listen and you are just here to disrupt and suck the oxygen out of the room. You say you don't like to hurt other people's feelings while trying to hurt mine. Good thing I'm a cold-hearted cynic. Don't bother with your reply so that we can keep this thread on track.

Not an increased gag reflex, but I did have an increased salivary response while brushing my teeth, specifically the back of my mouth and tongue the day after I increased to 7.5 mg tirz.

It was strange because I wasn’t nauseated, but in a way thought that I might throw up.

I went over the toilet as we all would do, opened my mouth, and the saliva just poured out of my mouth for about one minute, but without a gag or heave from the gut. Just heavy salivation for one minute.

That only happened once.
