Initial Side Effects: Common and Less Common

Expect some changes during the first two weeks. Common side effects include nausea, drowsiness, and decreased appetite. These typically lessen as your body adjusts.

Less frequent but possible side effects are dizziness, insomnia, or increased anxiety. If you experience severe dizziness, consult your doctor immediately.

Changes in bowel movements, such as constipation or diarrhea, are also reported. Stay hydrated to help manage this.

Some individuals experience sexual side effects, like decreased libido or difficulty achieving orgasm. Openly discuss these with your physician; solutions often exist.

Headaches are another possibility. Over-the-counter pain relievers might provide relief, but check with your doctor first.

Remember, individual responses vary. Keep a journal to track your symptoms, and share this information with your healthcare provider during your follow-up appointment. This helps them personalize your treatment plan.
