Yesterday when I went to take my dose…I had been moving up from 5mg to 7.5, but I completely spaced on the fact that I'd micro dosed 3mg 2 days earlier (I shifted my schedule around because of a camping trip coming up)…so all told, I've had 10.5mg over the past 4 days. I feel awful. I was throwing up the whole night and now I'm incredibly nauseous and wiped out.
If I drop back to 7.5 next week, have I wrecked my tolerance? Any advice for getting through this
A portion of what you're feeling may be driven by anxiety rather than the medication itself. If we look at the numbers: by the time you injected your usual amount, the 3mg had already lost or cleared roughly 25-30% of its strength (48-60 hours, so effectively 2-2.25mg), and your regular dose needs about 24 hours to hit peak levels (Tmax). I'm not trying to dismiss what you're going through, just hoping it eases some worry... the whole thing should pass relatively quickly too. Going by that 24 hour Tmax, the combined effect of both doses should fall under your normal 7.5mg peak around 65 hours after the 7.5mg shot, though your body will probably settle back well before that point.
As others have mentioned, going back to your usual routine is fine, nothing to worry about. If your dose day works for you, leave it as is. Should you want to compensate next week for that 3mg, using the same 24 hour Tmax assumption, subtract 1.3mg from next week's amount.
Have something to drink, eat if you feel like it and whatever appeals to you. For a single day, skimping on protein is okay if it makes things less uncomfortable. Don't pressure yourself about skipping food when you have no appetite.
When I go on short trips and have to bring GLP along, I prepare a vial that gets thrown out when the trip ends. That way refrigeration matters far less and my main vial isn't exposed to temperature fluctuations. I've also been known to take some extra before the trip... it's a balance.
A conversation from last week, nausea resolved minutes after I pointed out it couldn't be from the shot. Anxiety is certainly a thing, in a quiet room I hear my heart beat kinda deal.
I know part of this could be in my head, but I do tend to be sensitive when increasing.
