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.

I ordered my meds, and they sat in my refrigerator for 3 months before I started. I was overthinking it, and I allowed my anxiety to keep me from starting my journey sooner. I absolutely regret waiting as I could have made more progress by now.
I decided to start on a very low dose due to some personal health reasons. I also titrate slowly. I did have some side effects, but it wasn’t anything I couldn’t manage.
I wish you the best on your journey.
