4th dose of 2.5mg symptoms

Hi, I took my fourth dose from my first 2.5mg pen yesterday evening. The first week I had mild appetite suppression and zero side effects. This continued throughout the doses, constipation kicking in at dose 3 but got that sorted. However, I woke this morning with the worst headache imaginable, vomiting, diarrhea and nausea. It is now almost 3pm, the headache hasn't improved much. I have been unable to eat anything due to nausea. I feel absolutely wiped (had to go into work).

Has anyone else experienced this? Minimal side effects and then bam!! 4th dose comes and knocks you sideways? I'm supposed to be moving to 5mg next week as the suppression disappeared after the end of week 2. Any suggestions on how to relieve these symptoms or minimise the risk of them happening again?

Thanks in advance x

Hi, I've been reading through the posts here and feel like I have tried everything I've found.

I started mounjaro just over two weeks ago. I had little to no side effects apart from a little bit of constipation towards the end of the first week but the second dose sorted that out and I was going again as normal. However, towards the end of the second week, things started to slow down again. I added in a daily kiwi (skin on) and figured my third dose would get me going again anyways. Well I took the third dose on Wed and I'm still not going. I am easily getting 3L of fluids daily, plenty of fruit, I took a glass of prune juice yesterday and today and even added lactulose this evening. Still no joy and I'm starting to feel miserable now. What else can I do? What am I doing wrong? TIA

Edit to add: I'm getting a minimum of 7k steps per day
