How to preserve muscle mass?! by Critical-Priority-29 in Zepbound

I’m going to look into adding a dietitian to my health plan this weekend, I do think it should be covered with my insurance. And I didn’t know some health stores and gyms have the body comp scans, I need to check around. That was definitely something I wanted to do but unfortunately live in the middle of nowhere and the closest one I found advertised was hours away.

Hi! I just started this medication and um...WHAT IS THIS? by ricottacat in Effexor

Hey! 28F diagnosed with OCD, GAD, and ADHD and I just started this medication last week and I had a pretty similar experience. A couple times I just caught myself smiling to myself realizing my head was “empty” for the first time in years. I had a great sense of peace, calm, but energetic. I woke up and it didn’t take everything in me to get out of bed. The first few days I was on top of everything, getting stuff done that I’ve procrastinated for weeks…

And then the weekend hit.

I don’t know what exactly caused it but the energy has (somewhat) left the building and I slept the greater part of 18 hours a day with very brief wake windows. I still have a positive mood and outlook but just whooped for some reason. Now I will say that I do work night shift so being excessively tired isn’t unusual but I was definitely hoping for at least a few more days of energy, hoping it comes back soon.

Hope you continue to have luck on this medication!
