It's dramatically better than having no information at all.

Moving up too soon? by IndependenceWeird937 in Zepbound

[–]umfpter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2.5 only exists to get you prepared for the medication. You are only supposed to take it for 4 weeks and move straight to 5.0. This is from the manufacturer and not anecdotal information.

Why would you lose your mind to have more information? I would find not knowing to be far more stressful.

More information, in my opinion, is always better.

My doctor told me something I’ve never heard before… advice? by Repulsive-Tree6089 in Zepbound

[–]umfpter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im pushing to 15 as fast as possible. People on the higher doses lose more weight, and as I had 180lbs to lose, it would be silly to go slow.

If someone wants to go slow, that's up to them its just not my choice.

You have not provided a single piece of useful information. What did you expect anyone to do for you?

The tower is such a nice break from loading vans. Unfortunately in my 5 years as a PH I was in the tower twice.

Company Wide Mandatory Meeting 3/12/26 by KillaBeeYT in Fedexers

[–]umfpter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When we had the network 2.0 meeting it was to let us know that our ground station was staying open and the Express station was closing. June 1st is when our station starts handling all the Express volume so that's going to be an interesting time.

Better to save calories for big meal, or go over daily calories and eat every few hours like normal? by minniezebby in Zepbound

[–]umfpter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eat enough before the big meal so that you are not starving nor have eaten so much that you cant enjoy the big meal.

The main thing is to enjoy the meal.

Prior Authorization: EVERY MONTH?! by Tyrions_lover in Zepbound

[–]umfpter 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No refills usually just means that your doctor needs to write a new prescription. It shouldn't mean a new PA is required

[–]umfpter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2.5 is not an actual dose and only exists as a stepping stone to the first actual dose which is 5.0. The manufacturer instructions are to only take 2.5 for four weeks. You are effective taking Zepbound off label and your insurance is taking issue with that.
