Weight Gain

Dry Mouth
Dry mouth is common. Drink plenty of water throughout the day. Chewing sugar-free gum can also help stimulate saliva production. Consider using a saliva substitute if necessary.
Constipation
Constipation can occur. Increase your fiber intake through fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Drink plenty of fluids. If constipation persists, discuss over-the-counter remedies or other options with your doctor.
Increased Appetite
Many experience increased appetite. Be mindful of your food choices and portion sizes to manage weight. Regular exercise can aid in appetite control.
Dizziness
Dizziness may occur, especially when starting treatment. Rise slowly from a lying or sitting position to minimize this effect. Report any significant dizziness to your doctor.
