Suggestions on how to start again after stopping after 6 months from being sick?

[JoeyK74]

On 2.5 and 5 mg I had good results with with weight loss and blood sugar but had a lot of diarrhea. Sometimes going 10 times in a row. Then a few days of constipation. By the time I started at 7.5 mg it tapered off. I had to skip a week for a procedure and the said it was ok to take 7.5 mg again the next week. I got very sick with nonstop diarrhea and threw up a few times. Ended up going to the ER and got an IV of magnesium. The next week I tried 5 mg and same thing happened (not as much diarrhea and didn’t go to ER) but nausea and throwing up. I stopped taking it for 6 weeks now and my appetite is back. If I start up on 2.5 mg again what can I do different? I usually to it in my stomach on Friday mornings. Should I try a different injection. Take a different time? My friend changed hers to nighttime and it seemed to help.

Looks like you need to look at it like starting over, no biggie. 2.5 for 4 weeks then see if you need to move up. With your sensitivity it's unlikely you will and if you're using compound and need to move up go to 3 or 3.5.

Why was I so sick on it. Got a bit better but then sick again.

It sounds like you need to see a doctor and have them check you out. Sounds like you have something else going on that the tirz is compounding imo. Those are pretty extreme side effects for those low doses, especially not getting better.

Did the ER have any ideas about what was going on with you?
