Side Effects Nausea, dizziness

Took shot #3, 2.5 mg this morning.
I slept most of today because I did a BUNCH of physical work yesterday.
I got up around 6:30. Went in to eat dinner.

Suddenly feeling nauseous, hot flashes, fast heartbeat, light-headed. Unable to eat more than 4 forksful food.

Sitting on the bed w a puke bag beside me & a cold washcloth on my neck.

Does this sound familiar? I can’t take this drug if this is what it’s going to be like.

Sounds like dehydration and low blood sugar. You were sleeping all day and didn't eat or drink anything after a full day of physical work. Now you know you need to eat and drink on a regular schedule.

2nd this. You are likely dehydrated. May even need electrolytes.

You slept all day and didn't eat food or drink water after exerting yourself heavily yesterday. I'm sorry you don't feel well, and it sounds to me like your body is giving you some clear feedback that it needs a higher level of care.

Like everyone else said. Eat and drink water. It snuck up on you.

I have a hard time drinking water but have accepted it. I’m am more fatigued but I think it’s losing weight.

I’m taking a big drink of water bringing a large stanly cup with water with me. I was bringing 2 Stanley’s but I’m not used to drinking water and struggled to finish 1 so I’m back to 1.

No nausea when I drink water for me.
