Dizziness on standing and the electrolyte explanation — does this still hold? posts 91–95
This is a continuation of a long topic, addressed by post number rather than by page. Start at post 1 · go to the accepted answer.
Nausea: the most common side effect and the most dose- and titration-dependent one. It is usually most prominent in the first 24 to 48 hours after injection and attenuates as the dose is held stable. At each escalation step it often resets briefly before attenuating again.
post #92 answers the question as asked. The question underneath it is different.
Constipation: common, manageable, and frequently under-reported because it is not dramatic. Increasing fibre and fluid intake helps. Over-the-counter management is usually effective. This is worth addressing proactively rather than waiting for it to worsen.
On post #90 — agreed on the reasoning, with one qualification.
Practical note that does not fit anywhere else. Whatever you conclude from this topic, write down what you did and when. The single most useful thing in your own records is not any individual result; it is that they are dated and consecutive.
