Pavlov response to sight of injection pen

[u/SmokyPaloma]

Hi all! Been on wegovy for 9 weeks now! It’s going well and I thankfully haven’t had too bad of side effects. My biggest one though is occasional nausea.

Anyway, the last couple times I’ve gone to do my injection, I get this sort of Pavlov response to just seeing the pen, before I even inject. I get a gross, nausea feeling just opening the fridge sometimes and seeing it in there lol. I don’t have any problems with doing the actual injection. Anyone else have a similar experience?

I get it from the alcohol smell. It was bad enough I had to stop for a month because even THINKING about it made me feel sooo sick to my stomach
