For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "They keep upping the price, and now I can’t afford it. I lost 43 pounds. It lowered my blood pressure. Dehydration, constipation, and sulfur burps, though. I had a heart attack from the dehydration. I’ve got that managed now-drinking electrolytes. I don’t want to give up, though, but I can’t afford $680 a month."

For Obstructive Sleep Apnea/Hypopnea Syndrome "Starting 4th week of 2.5 mg. It wears off some by the end of the week. Dr. raised it to 5 mg for the next month's prescription. I am down 10 lbs in 3 weeks. Appetite is now easy to control and say no to the food/snack crazies. Very slight constipation is the only side effect I have noticed. It does work but is not affordable for me. $350 for the 1st month was the vial and syringe and out of pocket. Easy to use. Insurance declined it. $450 for the 2nd month. I can't afford it. I have researched it and found that you can buy the tirzepatide peptides online for considerably less money. I may regret it, but I am going to try it. I have seen very high numbers of happy people who went this route."

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) "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."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I began my weight loss journey in late January 2024. Over the next 12 months, I lost 40 pounds. However, I've hit a plateau for the past four months, since the end of November 2024, and it's now February 25, 2025. I still need to lose at least another 40 pounds. Zepbound has been a significant help in my journey. My clothes fit much better, and I've gone from a size XXL to a medium. In addition to Zepbound, I also strength train, maintain a healthy diet, and track my calorie intake. The only side effects I've experienced with Zepbound are occasional acid reflux, mild nausea, and some constipation. Currently, I am on 12.5 mg, but my doctor has decided to update my dosage to the 15 mg to see how I do on that dosage. Hopefully, it will kick me over the plateau and I will end up losing the next 40 pounds that I need to. Other than that, I love Zepbound. I think it’s great."
