Hello all,

I saw everyone posting their progress, so I thought I might join in as well.

I’m 5’5” with a starting weight (SW) of 200 lbs and a goal weight (GW) of 165 lbs (ideal). I just started my first treatment on Thursday. So far, so good, except there was a misread on the instructions, and I accidentally doubled the dosage of my medication (took 25 units instead of 10 units).

The side effects were brutal the next day after my first injection. I experienced the worst nausea I ever had, throwing up multiple times, and felt like death in bed. While Saturday was a little better, I was still too nauseous to even drive or walk to the mailbox. As of now, I’m doing fine! Still a little nauseous but able to do things without any assistance.

I also have a question: since I accidentally doubled the dose in my first week, should I skip the second week or just take the 10 units as required?
