For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "It was rough in the beginning, with diarrhea, then constipation and heavy belching. The diarrhea ended after about a month, but constipation has continued. In addition to those symptoms, I experienced an undercurrent of nausea for several months, with it being more pronounced just after eating. After about eight months, the nausea abated for the most part. I started on the 2.5 and moved up in dosage every 2 months or so. I am entering month 10 and am on the 12.5 dosage. For the first 6-7 months, I lost approximately 1.5 lbs/wk, and over the last 2-3 months that has slowed down a little. I have lost a total of 50 lbs. The other side effect I've experienced is I sometimes have low blood sugar in the mornings, so I will have juice or something to help take care of it. It is easy to use, and despite the rough start, I am pleased with the results."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I am 45 years old and female. I have been on Zepbound for eight months. I started at 275 lbs and am now at 235 lbs. The day after I first took it, my stomach was so full it hurt, just from my normal portion sizes. Over time, the dosage has increased to 7.5. I am a little more tired than usual, but that's a small price to pay. The vast majority of side effects occur when I overeat. There's no way to know which of these I will have then: pain in my stomach, egg burps, loud flatulence, and/or diarrhea. I have been sick a lot more than usual, along with swollen lymph nodes and hoarseness, but there's no way to know if they're related or not."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I started on Zepbound 3 months ago. I began at 2.5 mg the first month and then went to 5 mg for 2 months. I had no side effects whatsoever. I started 7.5 mg last Sunday, and by Tuesday, I was nauseous, vomiting, and had diarrhea. It went away overnight, and now I’m fine, but not sure I want to continue with 7.5 mg due to the side effects. I have lost only 10 lbs in the 3 months I have been on it, but will have to stop taking it if these side effects continue."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "BMs are diarrhea daily, but only once or twice a day, so it's controllable. Losing weight, truly zero appetite, and when I eat, I feel full very quickly. No headaches or increased heart rate for me."
