3.0 mg. Is that considered high or low?

Why are yiu not discussing this with your doctor and listening to the advice they are giving you (don’t take the next shot). This is not a life or death situation and it seems your health is being negatively impacted.

I’m guessing this isn’t your family Doc, but one of those cute little weight loss drug online service places.

What is the dose? Maybe reduce it?

You are going to need to stay on the meds to keep the weight off.

So this med isn’t a good fit for you. Try calorie counting. There are always risks when using a med off label that it isn’t going to work like you anticipated.

And what doctor actually prescribed this for you? She/he is enabling your disorder.

That's not meant to be the downside. As the PP said, it's the point.

She needs food to survive. A few bites a meal? She won’t get enough nutrients.

It hasn’t even been 10 days, she will figure it out. If she was fat enough to get this med, she isn’t going to starve to death any time soon.

Perhaps, but I wasn’t overweight. I am one of those who used it lose a few pounds. Ten days out, and I am 134 lbs (5’6). I like the wonder drug but the wonder drug’s power scares me a bit. My next appointment is 2.27. I will be at my goal 4 lbs from now. I am trying devise a plan to not go under without screwing up the 30-day cleanse challenge.

I could literally go all day without eating.

Why TF were you taking Zepbound for a few pounds? Do you have an eating disorder?

I find when I get like that it helps to drink gatorade or another electrolyte drink. It often helps with the nausea/malaise and I'm able to eat something. I also drink the yogurt protein drinks when I have no appetite. No chewing needed, but i get some nutrition

That is the entire point of this medication.
