Week 5 update/side effects
So I finished my first 4 weeks at the 2.5 mg dose with absolutely no side effects. (And I don't typically get nauseous, like I can take meds without eating and be fine.) Started 5 mg this past Sunday and that night and the next day I felt a small shift in my attitude, like a little more irritable (chalked it up to just work and life stuff going on). The next day I experienced extreme fatigue (again chalked that up to general life circumstances as I'm ripping and running getting things prepared for my son's high school graduation and preparing the house for company). And finally yesterday, I was super nauseous with a booming headache, to the point I had the wife pick me up some pepto and excedrin migraine - which helped out tremendously. This morning I feel fine so far, not irritable, not fatigued (yet lol) and no feelings of nausea. From what I read on here and my zep assistant (ChatGPT), it seems I was just going through normal side effects within the first 72 hours of titrating up. Hopefully that's the end of that, it was kind of rough. And fyi - I am remembering to exercise, I do have my pure protein shakes usually for breakfast and quest bars for snacks, along with smaller portions of regular food. I have cut a lot of unnecessary carbs and sugar, I do enjoy diet sodas, crystal lite, and water. My weekly weigh in is also my shot day, this Sunday, so hopefully I'll have a better update in a few days!
