Long story short, I took too much semaglutide on accident and it was one of the more traumatic things I've experienced. That said, I know the benefits of a CORRECT microdose can be life changing and I want to move past my fear of what happened.
I have rheumatoid arthritis, hashimotos and I was hopeful that trying a glp-1 would help me with the inflammation. My mom has had a very successful glp-1 journey and seeing her just feel better all around made me want to try as well. She got hers from a compound pharmacy and I went ahead and tried some. For context, I don't drink and I'm scared to take my prescribed xanax when I have a panic attack so I'm generally very overcautious/nervous about what I put in my body. Getting the dosage wrong was *extremely* out of character for me.
This happened in late July of 2024. Initially I just felt ill, but then things escalated into what felt like a never ending panic attack. My rescue meds weren't even touching it, I felt like I was crawling out of my skin endlessly. My psychiatrist helped me through it, as we suspect my body was not absorbing the prozac I take for OCD and thats why I was in a never ending panic hell. It took me months to feel normal again, I still carry around the fear of feeling "like that" again, even though I know what caused it. The incident was undoubtedly traumatic, but my doctor has also expressed that at the right dosage I would probably feel a ton of relief from the pain caused by inflammation.
Am I crazy for considering trying again WITH A DOCTORS SUPERVISION and a very very small dose?
