Just took 0.25mg semaglutide last night, first dose. Feeling very nauseous and light headed.
From what I gather, it should pass or become less pronounced over time.
Curious to hear your experiences, did it pass within the first few days, or does it take weeks?
Did not eat anything between the dose and getting nauseous btw, so it's not a bad diet etc. | COMMUNITY | — | 2025-10-01 |

Hi all, I’ve been reading the comments on various boards. My starter dosage on willow semaglutide is 6 mg. I don’t think I’d be eligible for a prescription elsewhere given my BMI isn’t high enough.
