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.
Taste changes and food aversion, reported and discussed
This follows post #4 rather than contradicting it.
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.
I read post #6 twice before replying, because I had assumed the opposite.
Fatigue: commonly reported, frequently multifactorial. It is worth asking whether other factors have changed (sleep, training volume, diet adequacy, hydration) before attributing all of it to the compound. Some fatigue resolves with time; some persists.
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.
Nausea: the most common side effect and the most dose- and titration-dependent one. It is usually most prominent in the first 24 to 48 hours after injection and attenuates as the dose is held stable. At each escalation step it often resets briefly before attenuating again.
