For Obstructive Sleep Apnea/Hypopnea Syndrome "I started taking Zepbound in September of 2024. At that time, I was about 70 pounds overweight. I started at 2.5 mg, was raised to 5 mg, then 7.5 mg, and now I'm on 10 mg. I have been able to tolerate it reasonably well. Since I started using it, I would say I have lost over 50 pounds. The medicine definitely has changed my eating habits. I still probably eat more sweets than I should, but not nearly as much as I used to. I have GERD and severe heartburn, and I'd say the medicine does negatively affect that, but I have been on Prilosec or another one of those meds for nearly 10 years, so I am at least able to manage it. If I don't take the Prilosec, I oat dearly. One other thing I have noticed most recently is a metallic taste in my mouth and some hair loss. Sometimes the taste is stronger than others, and I did not notice it until my dose went up to 10 mg. Another thing I noticed is that I have lost a lot of muscle as well as fat. I do get lots of compliments about my weight loss."
