Hello. Is this an active group or is there another to follow? I just completed my first week on Zepbound.

    Hi! How’s your experience with Zepbound been so far?

    I just started Zepbound a few days ago and so far no noticeable change in appetite. I’ve heard the starter dose is just meant to let your body ease into it, and the real weight loss comes when you start on the 5 mg dose.

    Right now I’m getting the meds through a company called Ro because my insurance doesn’t cover it. It’s so expensive! 😩 Hope it’s worth it.

    My insurance does not cover either and I am using the Lilly Direct. 2.5 was fine. No issues and lost 13 lbs. This week I moved to 5 and the day after I was so tired and just didn’t feel good. I am definitely eating so much less and when I want food, I want fruit and protein. My real side effect is that I am always cold. I hope you have a positive experience.

    Also new to using zepbound. I started my first dose last week at 2.5. The food noise is gone and I have very little appetite. I'm already down 5lbs. I am now realizing just how much I was really eating before. Ice cream on my way to work, taco bell late at night…it's no wonder I got to 200 lbs. I am hoping this is a lifestyle change that will stick.

    @little_Kel I am at 17 lbs. I feel like I am just recently adjusting to eating enough and it still is not much. My first refill bumped up to 5 and my second stayed at 5. I think the Dr will up to 7.5 with the next refill. When I first moved to 5, I had a rough time with the increase for a couple days. Good luck!
