Update! Saturday he was mostly okay, but Sunday morning his acid reflux flared up badly. Throughout the day he felt extremely full and bloated, and eating much was difficult. Today he's queasy, and during the night it seemed like his body was in a panic attack (possibly a higher heart rate?). He's also alternating between feeling hot and cold. So the side effects aren't terrible, but he's not happy.
In the meantime, my son and I took 0.25 mg (well, likely .3 since that's simpler to measure), and both of us just get full a lot sooner, but nothing beyond that really.
Before starting, I spent about 2-3 months reading up, reddit included, and it looked like beginning with a very tiny amount and dividing doses into twice a week might reduce side effects. We aren't aiming to lose quickly, no more than 2 lbs a week.
