I feel like I have an almost optimal reaction to the drug, which I kind of feel bad about, given all the side effects other people seem to have. My experience mostly matches yours, except without bloating or nausea. I do have a slight urge to drink on day 6 and 7 -- well not an urge, more like an acceptance of it -- kind of hard to explain. I don't even think about alcohol on the other days.
I am injecting the Hims formulation of semaglutide. I had no side effects on my first two injections, so my next two (which were supposed to be the same as the first two) I increased the dosage slightly. I am pretty happy with how I feel so I'm not sure how aggressively I'll ramp up to the full dose.

- kubectl_h 2y agoAh, ok so my experience parallels yours. Are you eating "healthier"? What I've found is I prefer "simpler" meals to more complex/layered/richer dishes. I forgo pasta dishes or sandwiches for simple meals like eggs + a vegetable + fruit. I've actually had to throw out a bunch of ingredients that went bad that I never would have had to before. I've had to adjust my grocery shopping quite a bit, including frequency.
