After 5 weeks at 3 mg, everything happened all at once, as if I had injected 30 mg instead of 3 mg. Same vial, NO dosing mistake, no math crimes committed.
My stomach basically factory-reset itself. I got hit with nausea unlike anything I’ve ever experienced, extreme weakness, and a general feeling of absolute doom.
For the last 10 days I’ve barely been able to stand upright. Minimal movement gives me shortness of breath and tachycardia, like I’m training for the Olympics every time I walk to the kitchen. Blood sugar low-ish (not dangerously low), blood pressure also low.
To make things even weirder, I simultaneously caught a monster cold and ended up taking antivirals for suspected shingles/herpes zoster because I had this horrible “needles in the skin” sensation.
Except… no rash. No blisters. Nothing. So apparently even my possible shingles wanted to stay mysterious and dramatic.
Doctor basically shrugged and told me to skip last Thursday’s dose. Bloodwork results arrive May 20th.
Today Shotsy estimates my level at 1.48 mg and I’m slightly better, meaning I’ve upgraded from “barely functioning houseplant” to “weak but technically alive.” I still barely eat or drink though.
My current fear is that I somehow became suddenly and permanently intolerant to Tirz overnight. I can’t really find stories similar to this, so I’m wondering: has anyone experienced a sudden hypersensitivity/reaction like this after previously tolerating the dose just fine? Any theories, experiences, or reassuring stories welcome.
For context: I’ve always struggled a LOT with Tirz and was actually close to quitting completely. Then, thanks to you guys, I discovered microdosing, which made things much more manageable.
That said, it has never really been an “easy” medication for me, but the results were worth tolerating a bit of suffering.

I’m absolutely telling my doctor about this tomorrow morning… although I probably won’t be thanking him for the 7 days of antivirals that may have flattened me even more.
