v.okonkwo, post #3: 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.

I read post #3 twice before replying, because I had assumed the opposite.

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.

Injection site reaction: local erythema, nodules, or induration at injection sites is reported by some people. Site rotation, avoiding reinjection into the same area for weeks, and allowing areas that react to recover all reduce the frequency.

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.

Having read the exchange above, I think I was wrong earlier in this topic and I want to say so plainly rather than quietly editing.

The correction was fair and I had been repeating something I had not checked carefully enough.

Worth separating two things that post #37 runs together.

post #56 answers the question as asked. The question underneath it is different.

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.

Practical note that does not fit anywhere else. Whatever you conclude from this topic, write down what you did and when. The single most useful thing in your own records is not any individual result; it is that they are dated and consecutive.

Timeline matters: onset, duration, pattern over days or weeks, relationship to injection and to meals all provide information that "I have nausea" does not. Posting those details gets better responses than reporting the symptom alone.
