Side effects with Zep 2.5
Hi there, please be kind. I have been on zepbound for almost a year on 2.5mg. I tried to go up to 5mg twice and ended up in the ER with intense GI symptoms. I’ve only lost a small amount but it’s better than nothing. It has made me able to come off my BP meds and improved my mobility.
The problem is I am also getting pretty bad side effects with 2.5mg on occasion. Mostly, I think it has to do with eating too late or eating things that are greasy or sugar alcohols (which I recently totally cut out), but sometimes it has really come out of left field. And I don’t always get to choose when I eat and sleep due to work. And admittedly, maybe I make bad choices sometimes because I’m human. It is hard to see my friend on 15mg eat whatever he wants and has lost a lot more and I’m over here trying not to puke sometimes lol.
I was wondering if anyone had experienced this on Zep and tolerated one of the other GLP-1s better. I am thinking of talking to my doctor about trying something different but I’m not sure what. And I’m scared of gaining the weight back. :(
Thank you.
