Swollen legs on reta?

Noticed my feet have gotten a bit more swollen since starting reta at 0.5mg. Nothing alarming, but my socks are leaving deeper marks around my ankles than before. Went digging for info on leg swelling tied to this medication class and everything seemed to contradict everything else, some sources call it abnormal, others say it happens regularly. Has anyone here run into puffiness in the feet or legs while on reta, past or present?
 
Makes me question whether that's actually reta at all. Sounds more like edema, which usually comes from GH secretagogues instead. Only recently started seeing vials come back mislabeled during testing too.
 
Dealt with a lot of fluid retention and swelling early on, so a good chunk of the initial drop came from that alone. Genuinely fine with whatever pace happens from here on. Just really don't want the number heading back upward eventually.
Eating habits have shifted a lot already, and even some movement's been added into the routine. Mainly hoping all of this actually sticks and turns into a lasting routine.
 
A little, though honestly think it was already present before I even began this medication. Had several tests run on it years back too. Also dealing with genuinely awful heartburn. Still worth it though, at least so far.
