PharmD_Rodriguez said:Anxiety increase on mental health: counterintuitive, but losing weight rapidly triggered anxiety for me.
Filing a mild objection. Mild because I might be wrong; an objection because nobody has addressed the case that does not fit. I would be careful about how confidently the flatness reports get attributed. Rapid weight loss, a large deficit and disrupted sleep produce low mood on their own, and separating that from a drug effect is genuinely hard.
That is the short version; the long version is somebody else's post.

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. ✨

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)

How long did you give it before you decided it was working?
Reporting back.
Update: I got the sleep and the intake sorted before deciding it was the drug, and most of the flatness went with them. Not all of it, and I am watching the rest.
