three years of sulphur burps threads, summarised so you do not have to read them
Confession thread, sort of.
I went from 5mg to 1.7mg much faster than I should have because the scale had stalled and I got impatient. The stall broke about 5 weeks later, at which point I had no way of knowing whether the dose increase did anything or whether it would have broken anyway.
So now I have muscle cramps I did not need and a data point I cannot interpret. Two lessons in one.
Posting it in the hope that somebody at week 9 reads it before doing the same thing.
best — the order this archive was captured in
Crossposting this to c/vendorvetting because the people who need it are not reading this community.
Removed a chain here. The rule is one line long and it is not negotiable.
Did the reflux start before or after the dose increase?
IANAD and neither is anyone upvoting this
This is correct. The early fullness is horrible for three weeks and then just ends.
Respectfully this is a sample of one presented as a finding.

Yes, exactly this, and it is the bit that took me 67 weeks to accept.
resting heart rate moved up 21 bpm and settled back down when I stopped escalating
Resting heart rate up 6 bpm from baseline, settled back down once I stopped escalating. Tracked daily so I am confident.
the early fullness passes. i promise. not medical advice.
Resting heart rate up 19 bpm from baseline, settled back down once I stopped escalating. Tracked daily so I am confident.
week 40 and the early fullness is finally getting better
nausea on day 2 is normal, nausea after week 46 is worth checking
resting heart rate moved up 3 bpm and settled back down when I stopped escalating

This is correct.
Counter-anecdote: opposite result, same dose. Which mostly tells us the variance is huge.
week 8 and the reflux is finally getting better
hair loss is real and usually reversible when you stabilize

Adding to this: fatigue is doing more work than the comment implies.
ask your actual doctor, not us
Strongly agree. Describe your dose, your week number, and your titration speed or nobody can help.

Disagree on that part. 97.9% and 97.6% on the same vial is normal.

sulphur burps are disgusting but not dangerous, 3 weeks and they stopped
How many weeks in are you? 4 weeks is noise, 5 weeks is a trend.
Inter-lab variance on this kind of assay is routinely 1–2 points. Different column, different gradient, different integration.
