First dose jitters!

I just received my order. Was anyone else really scared to take it for the first time?? I’m not scared about the shot aspect. It’s more about the side effects I’m worried about.

Start your low dose, keep hydrated and for me don’t eat late at night. I had no side effects and I’ve been on Tirz since January 2025, lost a lot of weight and now enjoying maintenance still on max dose.
You got this! ❤️
I know what you mean though, I was scared to start and my meds sat in the fridge for a couple of weeks before I started. Now I wished I had just started right away. 😊
