Do not take the full 1.0 mg dose tonight. Because 17 days have elapsed since your last dose, you have cleared more than two half-lives of Semaglutide. Your circulating peptide levels have dropped significantly, and your gut and brain GLP-1 receptors have lost their active down-regulation.
If you inject 1.0 mg cold after a 17-day lapse, you will likely experience severe acute nausea, projectile vomiting, and dehydration.
Clinical Protocol for Lapses > 14 Days: 1. Step back to 0.50 mg for your injection tonight. 2. If tolerated without moderate GI symptoms, you can resume your regular 1.0 mg dose in 7 days. 3. If any severe symptoms occur, step back to the 0.25 mg starter dose for 2 to 4 weeks to rebuild receptor tolerance safely.
