switched from 1.0mg to 2.4mg and fatigue got better, not worse

Discussion Sourced ×1 Slow Clap ×3 Clean Column ×3

The title is the argument: switched from 1.0mg to 2.4mg and fatigue got better, not worse. Here is the rest of it.

Numbers, in the order they matter: 1.0mg and 2.4mg.

The fatigue turned out to be that I was eating about a third of what I thought I was. Tracked it for a week and the mystery evaporated.

Mine settled at week 76 and has not come back since, across two more steps.

Research-use-only material is not approved for human use and nothing here should be read as a recommendation to use it.

Hair shedding after significant weight loss is a telogen effect that follows the rate of loss. It is not specific to these compounds and it resolves.

smaller meals, earlier, is the boring advice that works

a rough fortnight at each step is normal, a rough three months is not

nobody warns you about how much of this is timing rather than dose

This one needs a clinician rather than a comment section, and we have said so in the thread rather than removing it.

Disagree. Severe abdominal pain is not on the list of things to wait out, and this board should not be treating it as one.

Yes. Holding the dose is a real option and it does not mean you have failed at anything.

Constipation is mostly reduced intake plus reduced fluid, not a direct effect. That is why the boring fibre and water answer keeps working.

How long has it been going on for now?

Small fix — the shedding follows the rate of weight loss, not the compound, and it is temporary.

Correction: that is a known effect of reduced intake rather than a direct drug effect. The distinction matters because the fix is different.

About c/sideeffects

Side-effect experience and management, with a strong bias toward the ones that are common and boring (nausea, constipation, reflux, fatigue, sulphur burps) and a hard line on the ones that are not (severe abdominal pain, persistent vomiting, jaundice, vision changes). This community is not a substitute for urgent care and the mods will say so bluntly.

c/sideeffects rules
  1. Severe or escalating abdominal pain is an urgent-care question, not a forum question. We will lock those threads with a pointer to help.
  2. Describe your dose, your week number and your titration speed — otherwise nobody can help.
  3. No diagnosing strangers. Share what happened to you.
  4. Independent community. Nobody here sells anything, and anyone who tries is banned.
  5. Not medical advice. Describe what you did; never prescribe to a stranger.
  6. Claims need evidence. Batch numbers, dated screenshots, independent test reports, or a citation.
  7. No referral links, discount codes or affiliate URLs. Permanent ban, no appeal.
  8. No contact handles, wallet addresses or tracking numbers — they identify people.
  9. Be recognisably decent. Disagree hard, insult nobody.

Before you read on

Several compounds discussed on GLP Research Hub are sold for research use only and are not approved for human use anywhere. Nothing here is medical advice and none of it is written by your clinician. If a post reads like an instruction, treat it as a description of what one stranger did.
