Week 1 Update: Down 5.4 lbs, Anxiety Was Worse Than Side Effects
Hello everyone! I wanted to share my experience so far. First, I want to talk about my experience with my first Zepbound shot. Honestly, the worst part for me was the anxiety. It was awful and much worse than the actual side effects. For the most part, I dealt with some insomnia, a lot of tossing and turning, slight nausea, and very little hunger. By the time I was due for my second shot, though, I could tell my hunger was starting to come back. I didn't experience the really bad side effects I see people talk about in the forums, but I have to say this second shot has kicked my behind! Last week I couldn't sleep, but this week I am exhausteddddd. I can barely stay awake and definitely don't feel even a twinge of hunger. As for my weight, I'm down 5.4 lbs, so I definitely know this medication works. We'll see how the rest of the week goes. Oh, and yes, I changed my shot day. I was originally supposed to take it today (Thursday), but since my hunger was starting to come back, I took it yesterday instead. I read that you can change your injection day as long as at least 72 hours have passed since your last dose, so I ended up taking it one day early. btw 2.5 mg
Looking forward to seeing what the next few weeks bring!
