| I’ve struggled for a long time. If you’ve recovered, what ultimately helped? |

Wellbutrin + vyvanse
And a few years after going off those, tirzepatide. |

How do you get it? My insurance won't cover and it's $700/month with coupon. |

You can go to Lilly Direct and it's a little bit cheaper. |

| I'm a binge eater but I'm not overweight. It's just that I mostly eat junk food and all my calories in one horrible sitting of the worst sorts of foods. I'm nearly 60 and this has been a problem for nearly 20 years. I've considered Zepbound, but I don't know if it's healthy if I'm a normal weight (5'4" and 118 pounds). |

op here. I tried Wellbutrin and it stopped working after two weeks despite a dosage increase. It was great while it lasted - felt like I could enjoy food and stop when I felt full. For the first time in my life the food noise was gone. Haven’t tried Vyvanse. My son is actually on it for his own adhd. |

| I do this off and on. The key for me is not buying ANY snacks except fruits and veg. If I buy a bag of popcorn, I eat it in less than 24 hours. I can't have snacks in the house. |

| GLP helped me put a regulated diet into place. So if I want a snack at night, I choose from yogurt, a big glass of water, eggs, an apple, mini wheat cereal, rye toast or a few squares of chocolate. |

Op here - did you have to stay on GLP forever? |

| Another Zepbound person here. Like a PP, I wasn’t obese (did want to lose 15 though) but my eating habits were atrocious. Constant binging then restricting. GLP has cured me. I haven’t binged in 3 months. Previously I don’t think I’d ever gone more than 3-4 days without a binge. I haven’t binged lost 17 pounds, too. Now I’m not sure where to go from here, as I don’t need to lose more weight but love how I feel mentally on this drug. No desire to binge. |

It’s $349 for the starter dose and $499 for higher. I’ve been on 2.5 for 2 months and it’s completely taken away the binge urge, despite having many stressful days. I will say, though, if you are an emotional binge or you have to find other ways to cope which is hard- currently doing therapy |
