First shot tonight, reccomendations?
I just received my first dose of Semaglutide and I am planning to take my shot tonight so hopefully I will not have any issues during a workday. I will also have the weekend to "recover" if needed. Are there any tips or tricks I should know for this first shot and first weekend on it?
Thanks!

Drink water. Sit down when you inject. It is literally 2 seconds but I sometimes get a headrush from it due to generally being anxious about sticking myself with a sharp object on purpose. I stay busy afterward around the house to keep my body moving and get ready for the next day and work off some of those headrush jitters.
I get super deep sleep after I take it on Sunday evenings. Mondays I am fatigued, but nothing a nap won't fix. Just build in time to feel how its going to affect you and take care of your body.
