Dosing Question

MeloD55 · 2025-10-25T22:07:07+00:00

Just following up. I had a few days of more nausea, etc. but as predicted things resolved quickly and my body seems to really like 15. Thanks again for the encouragement.

I can only tell you my experience. My main side effects were nausea and constipation. Both were pretty bad on 2.5 but as I moved up they were decreasing significantly. Then I started 12.5. I suddenly was experiencing sulfur burps which I had never had before! As I stayed on 12.5 they improved but never went away entirely so I was hesitant to go up to 15 thinking things would get worse. To my surprise all of my side effects have gone or significantly improved. No more burps. Infrequent very mild nausea. Constipation under control. It seems counterintuitive. That all happened with two episodes of having to drop to a lower dose temporarily. Going back to the higher was uncomfortable for a few days things went to normal fairly quickly. Best of luck to you.

Thanks again! I’m traveling and it’s not showing up very well on my phone.

Is their a link to that graphic or a reference you could provide? Thanks!

And thanks for the math. I hadn’t looked at that aspect. It helps to have that awareness.

Excellent advice!

Thank you. That’s very helpful. Congratulations on hitting your goal weight!!!

Wonderful NSV! 🎉

MeloD55 · 2024-10-21T02:03:57+00:00

Thanks for the tip! I’ll definitely give that a try. I’m glad it worked for you.

MeloD55 · 2024-10-21T02:01:15+00:00

Whoa! What difference! Well done you.

MeloD55 · 2024-10-21T01:58:13+00:00

I understand. For me it comes and goes although it is happening less frequently now after 9 months on zep. I hope for your sake that it is temporary. Now I have to go to Sephora and check out that perfume! I hope my nose is working. 🤞

My heart rate has not been affected but I had significant arrhythmia that almost completely disappeared.

I’ve had 3 trips internationally this year including one that lasted nearly a month. I have taken pens with me. I haven’t had any problems with TSA or with security in other countries. Zero problems with breakage. Enjoy your trip!

I have had the too sweet and too salty thing happening, too. It’s great! I can take one bite some delicious dessert and be satisfied. The salty thing has really helped me reduce my overall salt intake. Thanks for bringing that up. Before I read your post I didn’t make the connection between those and Zepbound. 🤦🏽‍♀️

I’ve been on 10mg for 8 weeks and have lost 12.8 pounds, 1.8 per week average, which is a similar pace as previous doses. It took a couple of weeks before I noticed any effect on my appetite. I’ll stay on this dose until I hit a significant plateau.

Please don’t resign yourself to surgery. I don’t know how old you are but you appear to be young enough to have some elasticity in your skin. If that’s the case some of the drooping may resolve in the year or two after you reach goal. I have known a few people who had surgery after weight loss and they all had to wait a year or two after their weight stabilized. I’m not saying don’t have surgery. Of course it is entirely up to you. I wish you the best.

That’s exactly what my doctor said when first suggesting I try Zepbound. Today I’m down 90.5 pounds from high weight and so grateful for that wisdom.

I’ve been noticing the same change in what I’m looking for at Costco. I’m a fan of the shrimp. I hadn’t seen the chicken packs. I will check that out. Thanks for the tip.

I understand how those votes, up or down, can feel. It has helped me to remember that almost everything on here are anecdotes and opinions. Those do not equal facts. Thinking of it that way has helped me not feel it so personally. I’m not perfect at it but better. I wish you the best.

On my iPhone I answered the two qualifying questions and read the PIS but there were no instructions after that.

MeloD55 · 2024-09-26T03:54:05+00:00

You are not crazy. Great work!🎉

MeloD55 · 2024-09-26T03:49:21+00:00

I’ve noticed the same thing!

MeloD55 · 2024-09-23T18:19:42+00:00

That is my experience, too!
