    Reporting on these drugs is so bad. Most of the benefits AND downsides they keep reporting are the same for any major rapid weight loss. Be it hair shedding or sleep apnea resolving. They keep acting like these are novel drug specific side effects rather than weight-loss related side effects.

      I've also heard folks suggest that much of these "side effects" may be from eating incomplete diets (i.e. malnutrition) now that their appetites have subsided. The reporting is bad because the science reports on the nuance.
