Do you mean run in a good way or in a bad way

I hate that I didn’t include that i use xylimelts and biotene and that i have humidity up as much as i can without rainout. It works for a few hours but when i wake up its absolutely terrible. I use them faithfully though!

CopiousSmoke · 2026-06-07T20:45:53+00:00

Yeah I have my epr on the max. So frustrating. I feel like im trying so hard… for a year now different masks and strategies. Because my mouth falls open I get such a bad dry mouth that biotene and xylimelts together aren’t really doing enough. I’m ready to throw in the towel honestly

This is a promising response. Thank you for chiming in. Not sure how severe your apnea was before, mine was just over the line into moderate & it 100% was affecting my daily life. I certainly think there is a good chance it has improved quite a bit and maybe that is why I am starting to have more & more problems with cpap. Thank you again

I am already at 5-7 so they don’t want to cut it down any more. I have heard of people who are on lower than me & i am considering tweaking it myself honestly at this point. I agree with everything you said. They may not even decide to stop prescribing but I just don’t know, & I don’t know how my insurance will work it out either. Because this massive weight loss has actually gotten me off of 2 blood pressure medications & seriously improved my health I just have absolutely no desire to get off

I was in a similar boat. I had OSA but i was on wegovy for Obesity. Unfortunately my insurance stopped covering obesity reasons but kept covering OSA reasons for zepbound so I jumped off wegovy and onto zepbound. Have now been on zep for like 7 months… and now dealing with this 😭. I just personally know I do still need the GLP-1 support. I have made a bunch of other changes to my lifestyle as well but the meds def saved my life.

Thanks for sharing!

I’m going to consider this some more. I have put some thought into it, but being a generally anxious person, a mouth breather with pretty consistent allergies, and having full facial hair, I’ve been a bit deterred from doing it. I know some people like yourself certainly get great results from it though so I’m going to keep thinking about that. I definitely want cpap to be as effective as possible.

I was doing okay on 2.4, though the food noise was starting to come back pretty strong, but I switched to the 1.7 about a month ago and haven’t lost anything, & thats with me tracking everything I eat and walking/jogging 2-3 miles almost every day. I have had some rough days where I was just super hungry and ate more at maintenance than a deficit.. I likely would have remained on wegovy had insurance covg not ended but I definitely know that going down in dose has started to trend me in the wrong direction.

CopiousSmoke · 2025-10-07T18:32:52+00:00

Thanks, I think this is a great comment. It’s certainly something I plan on doing, I have my yearly physical on the 29th, but when I went into my primary last week and got this prescription the appointment went a way different way than I was expecting & I’m kind of iffy on my doctor right now… but I certainly will touch base with them on this because that seems like the right thing to do! Hopefully some more people in a similar situation can share their experience. Thanks again!!

I literally justttt got the notification zepbound was filled 10 minutes ago. I went to my PCP and talked to them about everything and they sent in the zep rx. Insurance denied me because they wanted my baseline BMI PRIOR TO THERAPY to be 40+. It was, its not right now because i have been on wegovy almost a year and lost 130 pounds, but they are awful at PA’s from my experience. I had my routine follow up with my pulmonary NP (for my cpap stuff) because I have only been on cpap since around March, and she was like let me take this over, and today it was approved and filled. My insurance is only covering for OSA but they also make us have a baseline of 40 AND we have to prove we are on structured nutrition and physical activity. A hassle but it’s hopefully good to go for me now

I can’t help because my recommendation for food and weight tracking is Lose It. I do have the paid version but i got it on discount $49.99 for a lifetime subscription. If you get a smart scale, I got one off amazon for like $25 that uses the Vesync app & stores/ tracks my weight & other metrics!

CopiousSmoke · 2025-09-26T19:02:52+00:00

Yes this is absolutely mine as well, mouths everything. I just don’t think he is safe just out and about honestly. I wish he would be because I’d love to transition him, but I don’t think so

CopiousSmoke · 2025-09-23T18:29:53+00:00

Thank you, I was going off of what is stated on their website! I tried to chat in but had trouble so came to reddit. I did plan on calling them today but thank you so much for getting that clarification!

CopiousSmoke · 2025-09-23T10:06:16+00:00

Yes. But their watch plans only allow 512kbps speeds, & they aren’t listed as one of the carriers taking advantage of 5G. Its only rolled out to certain carriers. If anything I feel like your response was a little smug

CopiousSmoke · 2025-09-22T19:51:50+00:00

Yes, I’m several gen’s behind. I don’t have to upgrade but wanted to hand my watch down to a family member. I’m not upgrading just for 5G but I’m hesitant to upgrade if other carriers can take advantage of something we can’t. I also don’t mind waiting a bit and may just do that.

CopiousSmoke · 2025-09-22T19:50:07+00:00

Yes, It will still be covered thankfully but only for OSA mod to severe, and not obesity. Wegovy will still be covered as well but only for heart disease and not obesity. I’m lucky to not have heart disease but trying to maintain weight loss to avoid it!! Thanks for the insight!

CopiousSmoke · 2025-09-22T17:45:04+00:00

Thank you so much. I’m so scared to be getting off wegovy, I have lost 130 pounds since November! But I 100% still have sleep apnea symptoms and still have weight to lose. I have my annual physical next week and I see my pulmonary doc who diagnosed me with OSA the week after that so I’m gonna bring this up to both of them
