For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I am up to a 12.5 dose, almost 4 months on Zepbound. I have only lost 11 lbs. I am on a calorie-restricted diet, 1400 cal per day. I don’t feel a lot of hunger and my cravings are not many. I am disappointed in the loss rate, but if it keeps me from gaining back the weight, I’ll be happy. My only side effects have been constipation and minor nausea."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "Zepbound has been wonderful. Started at 2.5, now starting 7.5. Working. Side effects: some nausea, constipation, but not bad. Injection site reaction, but within 3 or 4 days, fading away. Really an easy medication to tolerate. Glad I am on Zepbound."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I am a 67-year-old male. I have been taking Zepbound for 3 1/2 months now. Currently taking the 7.5 strength. I have just reached the 50 lb threshold or just under 20% of my body weight lost. The drug is not a magic potion as you still have to eat the right calorie foods, but the drug makes it much easier as I am really never very hungry and fill up quicker. My biggest struggle has been wanting to snack at night from boredom. As for side effects, I belch more, early on, I experienced some upset stomach but found if I eat a few crackers with peanut butter, I feel a lot better. I also experience some constipation, but my doctor said that was mainly due to the reduced amount of calories I am consuming. Overall, I am thrilled with the experience and results. I plan on losing another 5-10 pounds, then work on maintaining new eating habits. My doctor suggested I order some extra of the 5 strength and keep it back to take if I start sliding back into old eating habits. I plan on doing that."
