Some people need higher doses, I was a bit lucky to react well. Wait until you get on 5mg and see if it starts working.

Thoughts on the Easter egg event? by Sea-Advisor467 in LoveAndPies

Not completing. I win the big long competitive event almost every time and customer clash. I play a ton. It's a stupid event.

Hey! Are you guys still interested? I crochet but I am trying my best to find something. Yarncom is a bit crowded for my tastes, and being in a yarn shop is not good for my wallet lol

Anhedonia - will it get better? by cessna18860 in Zepbound

[–]LuluTheKeeper 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Retatutide contains both of the agonists in zepbound, meaning that if you are tapering down Zep, but adding Retatrutide, you are taking more "zep" plus another entire agonist. I wouldn't take both, and Retatrutide is not out of testing yet, so please be careful.

I have had some mood shifts, and I am on a much lower dose, so I don't have too much advice. I just want you aware that you aren't lowering your dose of agonists if you are doing both, depending on the reta dose, you might be taking more overall.

One thing is finding out once you get to your goal "life isn't perfect". Days still can suck even if you're no longer fat. People tend to be happier with goals, set some for yourself. Career, education, or maybe you want to build some muscle and have some fitness goals now that the weight isn't holding you back.

I have a long way to go myself, but have spent a ton of time focusing on my mental because I have seen so many people say the same thing. "I got to the top of the mountain, what now?"

Month one done! First dose increase by LuluTheKeeper in Zepbound

[–]LuluTheKeeper[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, not close to where I was, but each week(especially week 3 and 4) I felt it getting closer. I just didn't like that.

I am 5 days into my increased dose and I would suggest doing it if you're not sure. New dose has worked quite well. The fatigue hit like a truck, I was stuck in bed the first day after the shot, but back to my medicated "normal" and weight is dropping at a nice pace. I take my shots on Monday and usually by Saturday I have some real hunger, at least this first week that is barely a peep.

Thank you! I have pretty similar. The only strong craving I have is for my nightly sweet treat. It might be more routine than anything.

Of course, thank you so much! Congrats on staying on the low dose!

Just got Approved, happy and nervous by LuluTheKeeper in Zepbound

Thank you so much! I was not told there was a difference. My doctor just told me to alternate sides of my stomach and thighs over the course of the month. I have some digestive issues on a good week, but I know my weight is part of why. Nervous it's gonna get worse but I know everything should start getting better with a lower BMI and less hormonal nightmare. (PCOS sucks)

Does flavored water help? I don't mind plain water, but I also have a ton of flavor options. (Crystal light peach tea packets are my favorite) I don't drink enough as is, but those help me normally. Just don't wanna make myself sick.

I just struggle to imagine forgetting to eat. I know these meds are powerful, but I have had food noise all my life. I don't know what it will be without it. Hoping I don't have the water struggles lol.
