On the opening post — agreed on the reasoning, with one qualification.

Lean mass loss: the rate of lean tissue loss depends on protein intake, resistance training volume, and total energy deficit. Adequate protein and maintaining training intensity both help preserve lean mass during weight reduction.

Vomiting: when it is expected (first-dose reactions or early titration) and when it is a reason to stop and seek help are different. Occasional vomiting during titration is ordinary. Persistent vomiting or vomiting of a new character later in treatment warrants contact with your clinician.

Delayed gastric emptying: the mechanism behind much of the gastrointestinal side-effect profile. At extreme magnitudes, severe gastroparesis is a rare but serious complication. Distinguishing ordinary gastrointestinal effects from the rare severe end is a clinical judgement.

v.fontaine, post #18: Constipation: common, manageable, and frequently under-reported because it is not dramatic. Increasing fibre and fluid intake helps. Over-the-counter management is usually effective. This is worth addressing proactively rather than waiting for it to worsen. Go to post

Hair shedding: telogen effluvium associated with rapid weight loss is reported. The timing usually correlates with the speed of weight change rather than the compound specifically. It is usually self-limiting.

Pancreatitis: a rare but serious event with a specific presentation (epigastric pain, back pain, elevated lipase). If this constellation of findings appears, stopping the drug and seeking immediate evaluation is appropriate. Do not interpret this as "likely" — it is rare — but recognize the pattern if it appears.
