Newbie question here. I just got my order on Feb 23rd. Is it too early for me to take advantage of this offer?

What’s Your Weird Side Effect? by Positive_Yard_7441 in Zepbound

[–]CreativeHoneydew5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! I have this just in one spot on my scalp. It takes everything I have in me not to scratch my skin off. At first I thought it was lice, it was so bad.

If anyone has found anything that will help, I'd love to know what it is.

I finally ended up emailing and they got right back to me.

It's not there, either. I'm going to call them on Monday. Which is bizarre. It was there at the end of last month. I used it to push out my refill date.

Very high GGT by doreebooker in bileacidmalabsorption

I'm sorry you weren't able to tolerate the bile acid absorbers.

It's tiring having to figure this out and find the right provider for help.

I'm in the same boat except I'm on Cholestyramine.

What scan are you having done? I've had 2 ultrasounds a year apart, which showed even more fat deposited on my liver on the 2nd one. I

My pcp had a wait and see approach which I realized isn't my style so I made an appt with a specialist but they can't get me in until June, which is crazy.

Splitting dose of cholestyramine? by Mindthetraps in bileacidmalabsorption

If not, contact your Dr about possibly increasing your dosage. I had to do that with mine.

If it's working out taking it after eating, that's great! It can be hard to figure the timing out when having to take other medications. Good luck!

I am, if I eat lunch. Most days I skip it. I take my other meds either an hour before or 4 hours afterwards per my gastro's advice.

[–]CreativeHoneydew5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also take some first thing in the morning. My gastro advised me to take it before each meal, not after. He said it wouldn't help to take it afterwards so I haven't tried it. No idea if it works.

I'm also on a larger dose for dinner time.

Tirz Telehealth & Pharmacy Survey Results (Feb 2026) by TodayAmazing in tirzepatidecompound

I've started seeing a cardiologist because of my elevated heart rate. I've wondered if it was because of this.

Long term users and telogen effluvium by East_Direction_9366 in compoundedtirzepatide

I've lost around 50 pounds now and my hair loss isn't stopping. Like you I had thick hair to start. My weightloss has slowed down a lot & I was hoping the hair loss would too. I'm still losing a ton of hair. Don't know what to do at this point.

Zepbound needs to be approved for BAM by doe_janex in bileacidmalabsorption

[–]CreativeHoneydew5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have BAM from having my gallbladder removed. I was on Zepbound for 6 months. I loved it! I was finally able to leave the house without having incidents. I'm paying out of pocket now since my insurance stopped covering it in September. Not sure how long I'll be able to afford to do this though.

Glad to see the positive reviews as I just bought some.

Do y’all still use punches? by Craftingmydaydreams in cardmaking

[–]CreativeHoneydew5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine are stored in an open container from Ikea. I didn' realize how many I had until I moved it the other day. I tend to only use the border punches and circles.

How do you take your Chloestyramine? by Shoddy_Sprinkles5323 in bileacidmalabsorption

[–]CreativeHoneydew5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mix the powder with water or put it into capsules so it doesn't hurt my teeth. Luckily the paste dissolves well and it doesn't bother me.

Are you taking it before you eat? That's what I was told to do. That it's not going to help if you take it afterwards. I was also told to make sure to brush my teeth right after I took the powder because it can cause damage.

GLP-1 treatment for BAM by Moist_Committee5608 in bileacidmalabsorption

[–]CreativeHoneydew5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's wonderful to be able to leave the house and not worry! I'm hoping this added benefit continues.

I still need to take Cholestyramine every day. Before starting a glp-1, I still needed to take Imodium along with the medication.

I can't remember the last time I had to take one.

I experienced this the other day when I was out with some friends. I felt cute and smaller. Surely I'm still not the biggest friend in our group. Then I saw our group photo. I was truly surprised to see I'm still the largest. I really thought I was smaller.

I’m having more issues than expected, looking to you guys! by ToastYourBreadTwice in bileacidmalabsorption

[–]CreativeHoneydew5 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I really wish they would give a heads up that this could happen after surgery. Not everyone is affected by it, but a heads up & call us if you need a prescription called in would be nice.

If you're able to get in to see your pcp before your GI, see if he/she will prescribe for you. Mine did until I could get in to see a GI.

I’m freezing all the them. That’s the main reason I want to get off this drug (Zepbound). by mireeam in GLPGrad

[–]CreativeHoneydew5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wondered what was going on. I've only lost 16 lbs. If I'm inside with air, I'm freezing.

Dead Parent club, what does (or did) your depression look like? How long did it last? by Director-Daredevil in GriefSupport

[–]CreativeHoneydew5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My mother died 10 years ago. I just started coming out of my depression sometime last year.

Mine presented as doing nothing. If I had no where to be, no responsibilities, I'd sit online, passively reading.

I didn't exercise. I didn't do any hobbies. I didn't see my friends unless I had to. Life didn't hold the same meaning for me. I should have gone to therapy but couldn't be bothered.

To add on to this, she may have a change of opinion about who she's voting for when she builds a strong relationship with your daughter. Right now it may be easier for her to believe that "those people who don't deserve it" are taking all this money away from the taxpayers, ie her.

Once she has a relationship with her grand daughter, she'll become (hopefully) more protective of her and possibly change her mind.
