Nausea help!
I’ve been on tirzepatide for two months, and I started the first month at 2.5mg and I did well after the first two weeks, had a good gym routine and started eating better immediately. When I upped my dosage to 5mg I did have issues in the beginning where I would vomit every morning for the first few days and was losing energy. It went away after the second week but these dose increases are actually unbearable and I don’t know what to do. I just increased to 7.5mg 5 days ago and I didn’t feel too bad the first couple days but now I can’t eat anything. If I drink water I have acid reflux and I will vomit and have stomach issues especially if I eat after 6pm I usually wake up vomiting and the past couple days I’ve started to eat in the morning to at least have something and then I wake up with hunger pains and still nauseous and just gag when I wake up. I know this is temporary but it’s so frustrating. I’ve tried everything, zofran, pepto, and Dramamine and I still end up throwing up. I’m getting to the point where I just don’t want to eat anything but I do and it’s just a cycle. I also started feeling dizzy since yesterday when I wake up or stand up too fast. I reached out to my provider to see about lowering my dosage as I don’t want to quit the medication as I’ve gotten great results. I’ve already lost 25lbs and that’s halfway to my goal. I also just don’t know if there are other ways to keep the nausea down? I know this is a lot, but anything will help. I know I need to give it time but I don’t want to just not eat.
