As a counterpoint, I've been using it for several months and have had no side effects to speak of other than occasionally some mild reflux.

If anything, my energy levels actually went up immediately after starting it. Normally I was pretty sluggish but it felt like some extra firepower was unlocked.

Everything has risks and benefits, and might harm some people. I hope your family member gets better soon.

I’ve been on it (at 1mg, then 2mg doses) for 3-4 years now. Worst side effect for me is the tendency to have sulfur smelling burps if I have any kind of stomach upset.

did the weight stay off? Do you notice tolerance

Didn’t lose weight at 1mg. Down about 20# since the 2mg was approved.

But, also doing CrossFit 3D/wk. and now have a CGM so I can easily track blood glucose.

Second the question about tolerance! Wondering why this doesnt happen it is interesting. Most everything else causes some tolerance over time but no one mentions it for this
