Our third video in this series explores the side effects of Zepbound and other GLP-1 medications including Wegovy, Saxenda, Mounjaro, and Ozempic. We'll also discuss how to handle the side effects.
Not all side effects are severe, the side effects of the number one reason people stop taking this particular type of medication. Knowing what to expect and how to deal with it can help you be successful along your journey.
Zepbound is generally better tolerated than Wegovy, as more effective. Though everyone is different.
We don't just focus on the side effects of the medications, we also talk about the side effects of weight loss in general. Feeling cold. Hair loss. Fatigue.
As a bonus, we'll discuss the POSITIVE effects of weight loss and GLP-1 medications as well.

My biggest symptom from Zepbound has been lack of energy.

Oh man. First day on Zepbound 2.5mg. Last night at 4am, I woke up in a sweat and with my heart pounding at about 150bpm. This lasted a couple of hours. Not only was it very uncomfortable, it was quite scary too. It felt like a full blown panic attack. I got up, vomited once and checked my heart rate to make sure it wasn't too crazy high, because it felt horrible. It's now 10am, but my heart rate is still about 103 after lying in bed for 4 hours. I think I'm ok now, but I certainly hope it doesn't happen again. It was awful.

Hi. I was just wondering what happened after that day and after the following injections? Did it get better? Worse? Did you end up changing time of day?

I’m curious what’s the cause for heart rate increase and how to avoid it ?

@EmergeForMe 5 ай бұрын

I don't think it's settled science. Some thought of dehydration from decreased intake. There's also evidence the GIP receptor changes sympathetic tone. Also seems to have direct stimulation of the SA node, where the normal heart beat initiates pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27777261/

Hi, I'm a male I am on the 2.5mg zepbound. I just started 2 days ago. My goal weight is 160 which means 160g a day of protein. How can I reach that number? I drank a 42g protein shake this morning and didn't feel like i wanted to eat for hours! When i ate some chicken and rice, it taste good until it didn't. And i could only ate half of the portion i set(might've been too much rice?). So one day in, this seems like a really tough task especially since it seems that the sensation of hunger and enjoyment of eating can be easily turned off, and maybe not even turned back don for the rest of the day. Any tips?

Hi a recent Zepbound user too. (Female) have been researching and watching a lot of videos, and one suggestion on protein intake I saw was to ramp up over the week. It is, as you have experienced, very hard to get that much protein in especially on day 1 & 2 after injection. But work on more protein later in the week as the hunger suppression declines. Haven’t got mine worked out yet. But thought I’d share.

Why are patients with gastroparesis not supposed to take Zepbound? What can happen?

@EmergeForMe 5 ай бұрын

One of the ways the medications work is by slowing stomach emptying, so if you already have this as a pre-existing condition, you can get into significant vomiting and dehydration issues.

Medicare won't pay for weight loss medications. I really need help. I am 69! 5'3" and weigh 237. I have been eating healthy and have been loosing weight, but fight cravings and hunger. I have tried everything including lap band surgery; and gained back 80lbs fast. Is it possible to go to you for help? I have no gallbladder. Can you help me?

I am 70 and started on Zepbound 3 months ago (I thought I may be too old to get it but Dr said OK) First 2 months did 2.5 and now starting on 5mg Pen. I pay full price but feel it is worth every penny. Medicare will pay for Weight Loss Surgery, High BP Meds, Diabetes Related Complications, Strokes but consider this med a “Vanity” Type med…SAD! I have called my Rep to voice my concern that Medicare does not cover this med. Possibly compounding can reduce the cost in the future or my pharmacy plan has a Max out of pocket cost or Medicare may cover in the future…till then my health is worth every penny of this med.
