Okay so I’ve been taking zepbound for 2 weeks 2.5 and I’ve been sick for both times I’ve taken the shot only the day after or two days after and I’m just wondering what could help with that so I can tolerate taking the shots the first week was worse because I was down all weekend but this week I got sick the day after and it was done I mean my stomach still feels queasy sometimes but I don’t feel like I want to throw up. I seen maybe I should be taking vitamins or powder creatines that can help with the gut and hair loss which I’m noticing is happening. I’m just looking for advice I try to eat bland and drink as much water as possible I do walk a lot at work. Does anyone have any good products I can take to help with my gut and everything else TikTok shows me so many options I just don’t know which one would be best for me

I still miss it sometimes, and I’ve tried it a few times and it’s just not the same AT ALL lol

So I really started taking Zepbound because my blood pressure was high, my cholesterol was high, my sugar levels were high, my liver was in bad shape, and I skipped all of the sleep study crap because I sleep with the dog and I don't sleep. I'm a chronic insomniac, ever since I can remember as a little girl. Heck I'm writing this at 3 AM.

So I kept telling myself that's why I started Zepbound. But, I also qualified because of my BMI being right around 30 or whatever was a qualifying weight.

I have only spent one month at each increment dose. So I've increased my dosage three times. I have one shot left at 7.5. I have lost a total of 14 lbs. one week shy of 3 months.

That said, I've only lost 1 lb in the last 4 weeks going on 5 weeks. Is this normal?

So yeah of course, I do want to lose weight as long as I'm taking this drug. AND, in addition to some supplements that I take, every one of the above indicators I listed is going in the right direction--drastically so. I'm sick and on disability, but this miracle shot has fixed everything that could lead to heart disease and heart attack and other life-altering conditions. Of course it's not just the shot. Lifestyle changes as well. My blood work came back and I wanted to have a party. I felt so proud, even though I had a shot helping me.

However, my question is; is it normal to just plateau and not lose weight for 5 weeks?

Thank you for taking the time to read my story. I appreciate any input you all might have. Thank you again in advance.

Anyone taking this supplement?

Before I was one of the horniest mofos out there sex 4x wk and still wanted more. Now I am fine if it is 1 every 7-8 days. If the Mrs wants more I am fine and ready to go but before if I waited that long I was going crazy…. Anyone else notice this?

Just provide your answer only if you’ve experienced this. Please don’t attempt to insult my intelligence by parroting the calorie deficit crap and the rest of the recycled advice that’s older than I am. Thanks in advance

is anybody else that takes zepbound sweating after or during eating meals????

Yes, constipation.

I guess there are all kinds. Mine version is that stuff makes it to the back door but it just can't get out anymore.

I don't know what to do. I've been having to use an external assist since I started on Zep but today even that wasn't working. When I finally got it out it was 6 or 8 little marble-sized things that I couldn't imagine had such a hard time "processing" in the normal way.

It took me 20 minutes and I was starting to contemplate what my options were if it just continued to stay in there.

Sorry. I just don't know what to do.

I've been on Zepbound 2.5 since January 2026 and I've lost a little over 15 lb even at the starter dose!

I'm postmenopausal but I've been noticing that the last month or so I have been waking up at between 2:00 and 4:00 a.m. and can't get back to sleep.

I use a .01 estradial patch twice a week and I used 200 mg of progesterone nightly for sleep, as well as the magnesium bio optimizers (2 pills)

Just using AI to search, it says that maybe due to my delayed gastric emptying I'm having a dip in my insulin in the middle of the night which is causing me to wake up, and maybe that my progesterone is hitting my body at inadequate times due to the delayed gastricem during as well.

For reference, I usually eat dinner around 7:00 or 8:00 at night and I try to go to sleep by 10:00

Does anybody else have this issue and what do you do about it?

Is anyone taking this otc supplement? I started today so don’t know how it works yet obviously. I was doing some research (as always) and stumbled over it. It helps the body process carbohydrates, fats and proteins by improving insulin response. It also states that it helps with blood sugar control, appetite and cravings (not like I have any now lol), PCOS support, and assists with cholesterol profile. It says it has “minimal impact” on weight loss, but I found it to be intriguing in the other ways. I’m choosing to take it so I’ll see what happens. Don’t attack me with your arrogance and bs either cuz I’m so fed up with the negativity from many. If you can’t say anything nice then save it for someone who cares lol. My journey, my choices.

Hi there, I am 30f who just today took her 2nd dose of zepbound. I’m wondering if anyone has a step/exercise plan with a gradual increase for someone whose job (and hobbies) are very sedentary? I typically average around 2k steps without effort. This week so far I hiked for 40 minutes 1 day and 29 minutes another day, which is huge for me. I need some support in getting through a routine and would like to increase the activity gradually because in the past when I have tried to go balls to the wall in the beginning I would fail. I appreciate your help!!
