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 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."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "The first couple of weeks, I was nauseous throughout the day. I had a hard time eating more than a couple of bites and didn't want to drink anything. Then I made myself eat a very light breakfast, protein drinks for lunch, a small portion of food for supper. Drinking a bottle of water with each meal and an extra one in the evening. Now on my 11th weekend, all's well. Oh, and I had to give up caffeinated coffee, it was contributing to my nausea in the first two weeks. Started at 239 lbs, 5'9'', 69 yrs. old. Now at 210.4 lbs."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I have been using weekly Zepbound shots since July 23rd, 2025…6-7 months. I have lost 47 lbs., which is 23% of my body weight. I have had occasional waves of nausea, but not so bad that it made me want to quit. My sleep has been disrupted some nights when I can’t go back to sleep after waking up. I’m currently up to 7.5 mg. And I’ve started taking the shots every 10 days instead of 7 days so I can gradually wean myself off of it. I have about 5 lbs. to go to meet my personal goal and about 10 lbs. to be off of the “overweight” BMI chart. I have been seeing my doctor every 3 months for bloodwork and check-ups. I am happy that I decided to try Z, and I’m also pleased that my insurance company paid for all of it except for $25 a month. Totally worth it."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I have lost 20 lbs in 3 1/2 months on Zepbound taking 2.5, 5.0, and 7.5 mg so far as per plan and dosage increases. I plan to use 5 mg for maintenance dosage now that I am almost at my goal weight. It is very simple to use. I had some GERD, nausea, and adjustments to make with certain foods, but that subsided after the first few months. You definitely cannot overeat as you will not feel well. The exhaustion and body aches are what bother me the most. For the first 3 days after an injection, I am so tired that it impacts what I can get done in a day, including energy to exercise and do my job during the day. I am sleeping okay with it, but the fatigue is almost debilitating."

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 just started my 1st shot Mon July 7th 2025. I'm 39 and weigh 231 lbs. Throughout the day, I was fine and eating regularly as usual, but the next morning... OMG! The nausea is horrible, but that won't stop me from losing the 40 lbs I'd like to lose. Drink lots of water, listen to your body, and get plenty of rest."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I started taking Zepbound five weeks ago. I started with 2.5. My first couple of weeks were fine, but by my third week after that shot, I could not eat for 3 days. I tried even sipping on water and couldn't because of the nausea. My throat kind of burnt all the way down to my stomach, it felt like someone was squeezing the top of my throat. I just took my first shot of the 5.0 3 days ago, and I still haven't been able to eat because I'm so nauseous, and again my stomach's hurting. I tried yesterday to take some Rolaids, but that made me throw up. I haven't told my doctor, and I'm still going to continue taking it, but if this keeps up, it's not worth it. But I will continue to try maybe one or two more weeks, but if it just keeps up and is this miserable, I'm going to stop taking it. Hopefully, no one else has this feeling. But I didn't lose 19 lb in one month. I hope everyone does better on it than I am."
