[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP.  I just got approved for zepbound and now am freaked out at the idea of starting it due to these side effects.  I can't figure out what is the best timing to try and minimize daytime impacts.

Is this worth it?  I need to lose at least 35lbs and probably closer to 45 or 50.

Try it. I've been on 2.5mg Zepbound for 2 months. I have lost 18lbs and have not any side effects at all. My doctor says I should stay on 2.5 as long as I continue to lose weight.[/quote]

Same. Have been losing on the 2.5 starter dosage with very minimal side effects so doctor has advised me to stick with it until I reach my goal weight or if I plateau. I might be able to lose weight faster on a higher dosage, but slow and steady seems like a healthier route for a ton of reasons.

Fwiw—I put off starting Zep for a long time because I was terrified I would crap my pants or become horribly constipated. The more people I talk with, the more I think that these two extremes are exaggerated by people who themselves cannot/will not for one reason or another take the shot.  Or they aren’t willing to change their diet in addition to taking the shot (something that many do not do).  In reality, I have one day where I’m a little nauseous and burpy but otherwise I have had zero issues. I make sure I get enough fiber, stay hydrated, and exercise for 30 minutes minimum every day.

For those having stronger negative side effects, I hope you are able to find a good workaround and start to feel better soon.
