Really appreciate you responding! If it's not too personal to ask, have you dealt with much in the way of side effects?

Little to no side effects?

Was so nervous taking that very first dose!
Good news though, practically zero side effects showed up at all! And the health improvements started showing surprisingly fast. Not just the weight coming off, but things I genuinely didn't see coming, breathing clearer through my nose, skin clearing up, my cycle finally becoming regular again.
Honestly, even setting weight loss aside, I'd still want to stay on this medication. It's that good.
If there's one tip I'd offer, load up on fiber and drink plenty of water! Constipation's really the only annoying side effect I deal with.

Same here. Zero nausea whatsoever. Occasional mild constipation's been my only complaint, and honestly that's on me for slacking on fiber-rich foods. Really dialed in my eating patterns and think that's kept the rough side effects away. Been running sema a full year, 80 pounds gone! Genuinely life-altering for me. Looking back now to when I was scared to even start because of everything I'd read about the downsides, I'm grateful I both took the plunge and ended up on the winning side of things.
No serious side effects for me. Been on this since December 2025. Losing very gradually though, around a pound weekly, and I still keep religiously logging calories, capped at 1600 daily starting from 315 pounds, so I guess it evens out. Honestly the nausea almost helps since it kills my desire to eat, ha.

Started this back in late December and I'm down 40 pounds so far. Currently at 1mg (still waiting on the generic to get approved before moving to 2mg since the brand-name cost is out of reach right now), and the only real symptom has been occasional constipation, and even that only shows up if I'm not drinking enough water or skimping on fiber. Had some sulfur-smelling burps the first time I took a 1mg shot, but that hasn't happened again since.
