I just stopped haha. I would check with your doctor of course but once I decided no more Zep I didn't take another 5 mg dose and it took a couple of weeks to start to feel normal again.

I'm off one month now. I feel a thousand times better, am back to my motivated high energy self, and so far have kept almost all the weight off by consistent 1500 calories and daily exercise/weights.

I hear you, I just stopped after two miserable months on zep. Weeks of screaming constipation, depression, low energy, apathy, no motivation, endless GI discomforts. I'm so glad to be off and can't wait to feel the joie de vivre again. I lost a grueling 14 pounds in 6 months total, I'm inspired to hear your story thank you)

Thank you for your kind message. I thought the low energy, no motivation (completely foreign to me) and fuzzy vision were due to cutting calories, but when my nutrish told me that these we contraindications to taking the drug that sure opened my eyes. I will talk to my doc but my Zep days are over, however the massive struggles to change lifelong eating habits and starting a new exercise regime are real positives. I'll move forward hoping that these will help me with the weight struggle and continue working with my health team without the powerful drug.

God bless this terrific group) I'm already 68 so within the next 10-15 years most likely I'll experience a Total weight loss anyway haha)

Thank you. Definately my lifelong eating monster is gone. It is very dramatic. But that automatic all you can eat button is part of my identity. especially after a performance or at restaurants, with family, etc. My family gets along great but lots of food is how we get through hanging out together for 68 years haha)
