From the other side of the consultation, briefly.
When to call your doctor about mental health side effects — a reference I wish I'd had:
Call immediately:
- Severe abdominal pain (could be pancreatitis)
- Vision changes (thyroid concern)
- Lump in neck (thyroid nodule)
- Severe vomiting/can't keep fluids down for 24h+
Schedule an appointment:
- Persistent nausea beyond 4 weeks
- Significant hair loss
- Mood changes or depression
- Gallbladder symptoms (RUQ pain after eating)

Positive side effects of mental health that surprised me:
- Clearer skin — inflammation reduction improved my rosacea
- Better sleep — weight loss resolved mild sleep apnea
- Improved libido — better body image + improved cardiovascular health
- Less joint pain — obvious mechanical benefit
- More energy — metabolic improvements across the board
Not everything about GLP-1 therapy is a struggle. There are genuinely wonderful changes too. ✨

Fair, and it stops being fair at the extremes. The middle of the range is well understood; the ends are where the honest answer is that nobody knows.
