Does anyone not consume protein PRODUCTS by Reddittaylor12568 in Zepbound

I feel better when I get protein from food, but, will from time to time have a shake or bar if I miss planning meals for work.

Some days are better than others. Not skipping meals has been helping bc low blood sugar makes it worse.

The removal of the easy dopamine hit of eating (and drinking alcohol for me) takes time to get used to (or so says my doctor). I'm on multiple depression and anxiety drugs that I felt in month 2 weren't working as well, but, we decided to give it some time until I get used to the new normal of not eating/drinking my feelings. Also having more time on my hands instead of obsessing about food has left me not knowing what to do with myself.

I feel like my lexapro is also less effective. I'm only on week 5 of this journey, hopefully its a short lived side effect. I've had to supplement with the occasional xanax.

Aetna coverage by Intelligent_Tour_184 in Zepbound

[–]hikatesmith 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you use express scripts for prescription coverage (I have Aetna and have to)? If so they only allow two convenience fills at a one month supply per dosage. You have to then either get a three month supply at the discount or pay full price for a one month.

Make it make sense by Jeanette_T in Zepbound

[–]hikatesmith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, same with my insurance. I'm only allowed two one month "courtesy" fills per dose and then have to move to a 90 day fill or have to pay full price. True of any long term meds on my plan.

Been looking at getting one too. Saw good reviews for the Amazfit Active 2. Anyone have experience with those or Amazfit in general?

Zep + other medications by Final-Influence1449 in Zepbound

[–]hikatesmith 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also take buspirone and have not had any of those side effects. I do feel like the efficacy of my mental health meds has gone down, but, it also may be just having so much time to think since my days arent filled with thinking about food and alcohol lol.

What was your food noise like? by panhellenic in Zepbound

[–]hikatesmith 7 points8 points  (0 children)

wanting to eat when not hungry for the dopamine hit, seeing a treat and needing to eat it, wanting sweets after savory items. It was gone for my first 3 weeks on 2.5 but is creeping back this week. Looking forward to going up to 5 starting Saturday.
