So nausea and vomiting being the most common.
I think with longer-term use, constipation is pretty common.
That's probably a combination of decreased intake, so you're not eating as much potentially, and also the delayed gastric emptying.
So stomach food comes out of the stomach slower in littler amounts that can decrease kind of stool bulk.
Right.
But it could also be a somewhat uncomfortable side effect.
So I counsel most patients that these are things that can be mostly managed either behaviorally or by things that can be prescribed or even just bought over the counter.
Right.
Miralax, Metamucil, things like that are really helpful for the constipation side point.
The nausea actually I find is pretty self-limiting.
It depends on which medication you're using and the dose.
Luckily for addiction, we use a smaller dose, especially people not trying to lose weight.
And the number of patients that we've prescribed to, the amount that need to stop due to these side effects is very, very small.
I would say really it's around food and kind of food experiences and getting back to just how much time I was investing in kind of meal prepping, dieting, things like that.
I love food.
I'm an Italian Jew from New York.
Food is a huge part of my life.
I still love food.
But now when I'm sitting down to dinner across from my husband, I'm present.
I'm not thinking about what I'm having for dessert or what I'm having after dessert for like a midnight snack.
