How do people handle GLP-1 medication side effects while still working full-time?

Common strategies include timing the weekly injection for a day when side effects being at their worst (often the day after) falls on a lower-stakes workday, keeping simple snacks or ginger/anti-nausea aids on hand, and being upfront with a manager if needed rather than pushing through silently on a rough day. Most people find a workable rhythm within the first few dose cycles once they know their own pattern. References: https://obesitycanada.ca/healthcare-professionals/adult-clinical-practice-guideline/

Switched my injection day to Friday specifically so the worst of it landed on the weekend, made working through it way more manageable.
