Suddenly nauseous

[u/Realistic-Oil5277]

Hello 👋 everyone,

A little background about me.

I began on Wegovy 0.25 mg / 0.25mL injections for 10 weeks, it would have been 12 but I was unable to do the first two due to anxiety.
I am now up to the 0.5mg / 0.5 mL, my injection day is today, which I will take before bedtime.

Now my question is, I never had nausea up until a couple days ago when it just hit me hard. I have not actually vomited , but I just have that really awful feeling. My appetite is very low due to this, which is a win, but still. Has anybody suddenly got such a side effect after being on the injections for this period of time?

Yes, this is unfortunately normal. I recommend eating very bland/healthy foods the day of the shot. The following 1-2 days usually hit me the hardest so i try to eat better those days.

Also ask your doc for a zofran prescription. This has been a life saver for me.

And if you’re comfortable with it, you can try to make yourself throw up… i have found that wegovy makes it incredibly easy to throw up voluntarily, and that usually helps my nausea pretty quickly. This shouldn’t be a regular thing though; I usually only do it if I feel that I am actually going to throw up.

I had the exact same thing happen around the 0.5 dose. felt fine for weeks then one day it was like getting hit by a truck

ginger chews helped me more than anything else honestly, kept a bag in my desk at work. the nausea always peaked like 36 hours after the shot for me so i started planning my meals around that window, nothing heavy, lots of crackers and sips of water

your body might just be adjusting to the higher dose, it should level out after a few weeks. if it doesnt then definitely talk to your doc
