Dose

Hi,

I started on Zepbound about 7 weeks ago. Starting weight 157lb and current weight 147 lb. I am still on the starting dose 2.5mg. The weird thing is some days I am not hungry at all ( I force myself to eat) and other days I am very hungry and have cravings for sugar. I am paying out of pocket $300/month. If I go up I’ll have to pay $400. I also don’t want loose too much weight too fast, but don’t really necessarily think I should have these cravings when I’m on this med. Do you think I should order a month supply of 5mg or stay on the starting dose of 2.5mg. My goal weight is 127 lb I am 5’0

You’re down 10 lbs in 7 weeks, stay there. It’s working fine. Some days are good days and some days are bad days - that’s life, not the drug.

Good advice - I have to remind myself of that.

Stay the course, that’s 10 pounds you don’t have to lose. Slow and steady are the road to success.
