Nausea won the vote: when did your system feel clear?

I'm three weeks into a dose that has my stomach acting like a bad beta test. Appetite suppression is fine; the all-day queasiness and sulfur burps are not. I'm not after a dosing plan, just trying to map the off-ramp.

For people who stopped because side effects were a hard no, how many days until your body felt back to baseline? I'm logging fluids, saltines, sleep, and a 1-10 nausea score. My seven-day average is basically flat, which makes the decision feel like sunk cost with reflux. Did it fade gradually or fall off a cliff?

Also curious whether the appetite came roaring back before the nausea left, because that overlap sounds like a comedy sketch I'd rather not star in. Experiential replies only; I'm just trying to set expectations for the empty-system window.

Mine wasn’t one clean off-ramp: queasiness faded around days 6–8 after I stopped, but sulfur burps hung on nearly two weeks. Full baseline—normal hunger, no food aversions—was closer to three weeks.

Tracking helped: I logged symptoms 1–10 twice daily plus a 3-item food note, and eggs/dairy seemed to make burps worse; plain rice/banana didn’t. If you’re already logging fluids, add a burp/symptom column.

Sharp question: were yours constant, or tied to specific meals? That distinction changed how I planned my week.

I only found anecdotes, not solid published timelines, so I’d be wary of anyone promising a precise number.

yo mine was a hard no after a few weeks. sulfur burps peaced out around day 3-4 after i paused, but the background queasy came in waves for like 8-10 days.

what actually moved the needle for me was logging everything in a notes app: time, food, fluids, sleep. turned out cold plain water + saltines were fine, but sparkling water and late-night greasy snacks made the next mornig way worse.

also laying down right after eating was a bad combo. did yours get worse at night/lying down, or was it pretty constant?

that difference might help you see the off-ramp.

for me the queasy part was quick but the burps were the long tail, and the only thing that actually mapped it was a stupid-simple log: time of day + what i'd eaten 3 hrs before. turned out fizzy anything was the trigger, even sparkling water, which wrecked my whole soda-swap experiment lol.

cut carbonation and the log got boring within like a week, which was my sign i was done tracking.

curious though — are yours worse on an empty stomach or after food? mine were brutal before i ate anything, which i did not expect at all.

Not days exactly, but my off-ramp had two layers. Stomach stuff eased first; the weird part was my taste/smell stayed off for another week—coffee and ground beef smelled rancid long after the queasy feeling left. I only clocked it because I was tracking “safe foods
