For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I’ve been on Zepbound since 8/1/24 (305 lbs, 5’6). So far, I lost 65 lbs, I’m 45 lbs away from my goal. My current dose is 10 mg. I experience side effects within 24 hours of injection administration, ranging from nausea, vomiting, belching, diarrhea, abdominal pain, fatigue, and dizziness. The side effects last about 24-36 hours. The medication definitely decreases my appetite and cravings. My doctor stopped my BP medication as I continue losing weight and my BP readings are good. My husband has noticed that I stopped snoring, lol. My plan is to reach my weight goal and stop the medication. I have changed my relationship with food. I look at food more as fuel for my body instead of indulging and overeating. I also introduced portion control and exercise, mostly walking and swimming. My insurance covers the medication."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I have lost nearly 80 lbs over the past 20 months. My A1c has improved greatly, as has my sleep apnea. My weight has remained stable at 152 lbs over the past 6 months, and I am able to resume skiing and hiking! I can keep up with my peers again! I have made major life changes with my diet/eating and resuming regular exercise, and I look forward to maintaining a healthier lifestyle for the rest of my life! I experienced uncomfortable diarrhea, gas, and unpleasant burping initially, which resolved. I also experienced hair thinning, but not severe. I now have a somewhat flattened butt, which I have read is known as Ozempic or Zepbound butt, and am working on weight training exercises to rebuild muscle in my legs, glutes, and arms. I would not recommend this drug to anyone who is not able or willing to put in the hard work of developing lifestyle changes and including exercise and diet, due to the muscle loss factor."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I started in January 2025 with the 2.5 dose. For the first two weeks, I experienced nausea and diarrhea off and on. For the last two weeks, I was fine. I am on my second week of 5 mg. The first week, I was so sick - I take the shot late Friday afternoon - I was in bed most of the day on Saturday with nausea and fatigue. I did vomit once. Sunday was the same. The rest of the week, I felt fine. Second shot last Friday - I was okay on Saturday - able to function but very nauseous. Woke up on Sunday and spent most of the day in bed due to nausea and fatigue. The anti-nausea medicine helps but not so much for me. Today I am functioning with some nausea. The benefits of this drug are obvious. I don't eat as much as I did before the medicine. I've lost 16 lbs so far. The nausea bothers me. I should be able to function and not get sick every weekend after a shot. I no longer have diarrhea - I am constipated instead. When I take Miralax, I cannot think about it or I get sick."

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."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "Lost 5 lbs the first week. Lots of diarrhea. Feeling fatigue fairly often. Rarely feel hungry. Easy to go most of the day without eating."
