My doctor cut my blood pressure medication in half!

I've been lurking for months and finally decided to post. Six months in on semaglutide, down 40 lbs, and I finally feel like I have something worth sharing. Ask me anything — happy to help.

This is exactly what happened to me at week 6. The nausea just... stopped one day. Hang in there!

For the nausea: small meals, no greasy food, ginger tea, and Zofran if your doctor will prescribe it. The first 4-6 weeks are the hardest. Everything gets better after that point in almost every case I've seen in this forum.

I was terrified of the needle too. Now it takes me about 30 seconds on Sunday mornings.

My titration schedule ended up being much slower than the official guide. 0.25mg for 8 weeks, then 0.5mg for 8 more weeks. My doctor is conservative but the results have been steady and the side effects manageable. There's no prize for going faster.
