Tracking GLP-1 side effects
Most GLP-1 side effects are digestive and ease with time. A short log helps you and your clinician tell signal from noise.
In short: Note side effects against your dose and timing: patterns guide adjustments.
The most common GLP-1 side effects are gastrointestinal: nausea, reduced appetite, constipation, or loose stools, especially in the days after a dose increase. For most people they're mild and fade as the body adjusts, but they're the main reason people pause a titration step.
Keeping a brief note (what you felt, when, and at which dose) turns a vague impression into something useful. If nausea reliably follows a step up, or eases after a week, that pattern is what helps you and your clinician decide whether to hold, slow down, or carry on.
Some symptoms warrant prompt medical attention rather than tracking: severe or persistent abdominal pain, signs of dehydration, or anything that alarms you. When in doubt, contact your clinician; this is general information, not a diagnosis of what you're feeling.
