"i have just started on this medication.  so far i&#039;ve been on the full dose for it for 4 days and i&#039;ve lost about 7 lbs already.  i&#039;m a 36 yr old  female, and i weighed in at 185lbs.  the heaviest i have ever been.  dieting and exercise weren&#039;t working.  and considering that my labs weren&#039;t to good, i needed to do something.  i talked it over with my doctor and this is what we decided was best.   on the third day of the full dose, omg!!  i had the worst nausea ever!! ginger ale seemed to work, but i couldn&#039;t eat all day.  i came home and spoke with my bf, whose also in the medical field.  he suggested i eat something with starch. so i tried a couple of crackers/saltines before i injected this morning.  what a difference!!!  no nausea!!!"
