Comment on My 375 lb brother is going to get a month of GLP 1's, is there side effects to it? I heard it's not like speed or anything but your not suppose to have an energy drink on it for some reason.

My wife says everything tastes like metal now. That’s a known rare side effect. You also can go into kidney failure if you aren’t supervised by a doctor and have the right preexisting conditions. It’s dangerous to lose a lot of weight fast, which is why they ramp you up slowly and monitor you professionally. A month isn’t a long time. I think I read you only lose like 3 percent in the first few months or something with the first gen of peptides. The newest ones shed more over time but they all take time.

Theres also the risk of your gut slowly down to a halt and destroying your ability to process food. But that’s a rare occurrence. I’m sure there’s others, I just am not an expert or doctor.
