The npr segment I heard yesterday [0] called out nausea and muscle loss among actual users.

Yes muscle loss is common due to rapid weight loss, usually without compensation like strength training. The effect of the drug is in reducing appetite so it is literally equivalent to calorie restriction, not some sort of fat targeting drug. But I think the public assumes it will create the “right” weight loss. Unfortunately older drug users won’t be able to regain that muscle mass easily.
