Weight loss is a frequent side effect. Maintain a calorie-dense diet rich in protein and healthy fats to counteract this. Consult your doctor about nutritional supplements if needed.
Fatigue can be significant. Prioritize adequate sleep (7-9 hours nightly), and discuss strategies for managing energy levels with your healthcare provider. Regular, moderate exercise can help.
Mental Health Considerations
Cognitive impairment including difficulty concentrating or memory problems may occur. Break down tasks into smaller, manageable steps. Use memory aids like calendars and to-do lists. Your doctor can recommend strategies to support cognitive function.
Mood changes such as depression or anxiety are possible. Maintain open communication with your doctor about your mental health. They can advise on therapy, medication adjustments, or support groups.
Physical Side Effects
Dizziness or Vertigo are common. Avoid sudden movements and changes in position. Stand up slowly. Consult your doctor if dizziness is severe or persistent.
Nausea can be managed with small, frequent meals and avoiding greasy or spicy foods. Your doctor might recommend anti-nausea medication if needed.
