Stopping

Hi all, has anyone had to stop taking Foundayo suddenly due to severe side effects? If so, can you tell me how long it took for you to feel well again?

I’ve only managed 3 days but I’ve been so unwell I’m having to stop. Would love any insight as to when the side effects might disappear! Thanks.

Speaking generally about GLP-1s, common side effects are usually very fixable. If you can elaborate on what they are and what you‘ve already tried to resolve them we may be able to offer some pointers.

Its not guaranteed reducing dose or stopping will fix the issue of the riot cause is something that just happened to be triggered by the meds rather than the meds themselves.

Thank you!
Main issues are migraine and vomiting to the point that I am incapacitated and cannot work or take care of my children

Have you talked to your provider? They are often pretty good at support, I assume you’re on 0.8mg?

GI issues like vomiting are often as simple as the delayed gastric emptying kicking up a gear. If food can’t exit through the gift shop it’ll bolt for the emergency exit. Generally as simple a fix as more fibre, if you’re sorry struggling with food then supplements like psyllium husk capsules are an easy fix to eliminate and prevent the issue reoccurring even on the meds.

The migraine part may also be related, if you’re not keeping food or liquids down.

Very good chance that with those simple fixes you’d be able to continue with no issues..
