Do you want to try this??
Does it have less side effects or milder side effects than Semiglutide ? Thank you
I just started. It's $550/month with the manufacturer's coupon.
@@contactmiller okay! Still a pretty penny lol
Yes. How can I get this?
@@contactmillerwhere did you get it from?
Been on zepbound for 1 month. Just took my first shot on 5.0. Down 20 pounds so far
👏🏻
What dose your on 2.5?and how old are you ? Just asking cause young people lose weight quickly
@@nikkiturnup1688 I just took my last shot of 7.5 last night. I'm 43. I'm down 38 pounds now.
I lost 50lbs on wegovy. Very happy with results
I just started Zepbound today I hope it works ❤
So how's it going?
Just started with my first injection last night. Thankful for my insurance. I paid $25 for the first set. They mentioned a coupon, otherwise it would have been $60/mo. Still far cheaper than without insurance.
I have lost 55 pounds in two months on 2.5 mounjaro for diabetes my A1C went from 7.2 to 5.6
That's AWESOME!
is that even safe? That is like a lb a day.
Oh wow what dose ? How old are you ? Cause I heard it harder for older people to lose that much so fast ?
@@nikkiturnup1688 I’m 59 and now have lost 77 pounds. I’m at the middle dose
I will be starting this weekend! I had great results with wegovy but all of a sudden it was out of stock and my doctor prescribed this. I lost 25 pounds in one month on wegovy and all of a sudden it was out of stock EVERYWHERE
I’m about to start it!!! I’m a little nervous!
Goodluck!
I started on 2.5 and went to 5. Need to move to 7.5, but been waiting two weeks due to shortage with no new stock in sight.
Was wondering if that would happen
I just got my first box today and did my first injection. With insurance it was $25 for the month. I couldn't even feel the injection. Started at the lowest dose but I really hope this works and I have no major side effects
Good luck!!
How’s it going now?
Update?
Update?
Yes, I want to try it!
0:02 Zepbound is blowing Mounjaro out of the water?? They’re the exact same drug. 😑
Just different labeling, and MJ is indicated for T2D, while Zep’s indicated for weight-loss.
Rest of vid was good. Could’ve mentioned the Zepbound savings card Eli Lilly will be offering.
Exact same drug. Different patient population for the trials! Very different results looking into the data
@DrMitchRice Different results due to different patient populations does not change the fact that it’s the *same* drug (as you yourself just acknowledged ).
You’re just stuck in an apples-to-oranges comparison. 🍎 🍊
Sure, obese ppl *without* T2D lose considerably more weight on average w/these meds than ppl with T2D. That’s the only reason for Zep (again, *same* drug) having better results than Mounjaro.
But, a big ‘so what’... because if you were to put a group of T2D ppl on Zepbound, and a group of non-T2D ppl on Mounjaro, the Mounjaro group would lose a LOT more weight… thus ‘blowing Zepbound out of the water’. 😯
See how skewed that is?
It’s the same exact drug (tirzepatide), so neither is truly more effective than the other, since both will have the same results when given to the same patient population. 🤷♂️
Now, if you want to say that Zepbound is more effective than Ozempic/Wegovy - which are the same drug as each other as well (semaglutide), Wegovy just comes in a higher top dose - then YES, there are studies to support *that,* even in an apples-to-apples (aka fair) comparison. That part is true. 👌
But Zep’s *not* more effective than MJ. Same person taking either at the same dose will experience the same results. ✅
@@DrMitchRiceThe same results happened when they tested mounjaro. They found out about the weight loss during those tests, which is why they eventually tried to get it approved for weight loss under a different brand...and succeeded.
I agree with the op here. It's your wording in the video that's way off. Listing three drugs, then saying Zepbound blows them all away is a really odd way to describe it since the first two are the exact same drug and the third is the exact same as this new one. There may be 4 names, but it's just 2 drugs. For people who don't know this, starting the video out like this does a disservice.
I'm T2D and Mounjaro has been a life saver for me. I've only been on it for 4 months and it has already massively lowered my A1C, it has normalized my blood pressure and I've lost 30+ pounds. Will I need to keep taking it? Definitely. Mounjaro is substituting GLP-1 where my body was failing to natural produce this hormone, so just like using bio-identical hormones... if I want it I will have to add it to my system.
This was a great video because I had TONS of questions on the difference between the different types of medicines
Glad you found it helpful!
I have severe sleep apnea, low testosterone and high estrogen, im a man 43 years old I'm 5'6 weight 247 lbs. I was put on testosterone gel and told to lose weight, I started a weight loss program with the VA called Move! and I'm told I will be put on Zepbound, I am really hoping to fix the high blood pressure and all the other issues. Based on what I just saw, getting back to my 20's body with lifting weights and watching the diet seems within reach. On another note, yeah I have depression and I am on anti depressents. No doubt that complicates things.
Though I do not personally need to lose weight, I have family and friends who might benefit from this. I would like to see insurance (including government plans) cover it, since obesity is such a tremendous indicator for diabetes and cardiovascular disease, in addition to kidney, liver, hormonal and joint problems. It makes economic sense for them to take a pro-active stance to reduce obesity. Now it's Christmas time, and I'm wishing the government would make sense. 🌟
I am on Disability and have Medicare and Medicaid (Forward Health) I live in WI and I recently started doing research to see if my type of Medicaid covers weight loss medication and it does, as long as certain conditions are met. All required a BMI of 30 or above, or 27 with certain other medical conditions. Depending on which medication the Doctor prescribed, there were things like you must lose a certain % of weight within the first 3 months or have not gained weight from your starting weight. If the criteria is not met, then they won't continue to cover it and you have to wait 6montbs to try it again. You basically get 2 "tries" in your lifetime of each medication. The real issue is also finding a Doctor to prescribe them. I gained a lot of weight after a foot injury, surgeries on it and complications that left me unable to be as active as I once was. I started emotional eating and now my BMI has sky rocketed to 32. I do also have other medical conditions, thanks to genetics. The ONLY way I could get a weight loss medication, is for the medication called Contrave. The manufacturer's website has a link called GetContrave, which you then fill out a questionnaire (which ANYONE could easily lie on) and then you're supposed to have a telehealth/video call with an online prescriber. In my case, I literally was just sent an email saying that in my state the prescriber didn't have to communicate directly with me, and that they supposedly reviewed my questionnaire and I was approved. I had to pay $45 to get a prescription sent to their mail order pharmacy (which would have been ok if I'd actually had a video call or some form of communication directly with the provider, all I have is her name from the email) and the medication costs $99 a month, as they don't file insurance. I've been on it for almost 2 weeks and do not like the insomnia side effects, as I already had bad insomnia to begin with. I'd like to try something different, but Dr's around where I live "don't believe in prescribing weight loss medications". I don't know how else to get a prescription for a different medication to try. That's the best info I can give you. You'll have to look up the exact government assistance insurance they have and see if these medications are covered or call the insurance company themselves.
Problem is, a good number of insurance plans won’t cover anything related to weight loss. Mine included.
Me either.. My doctor jumped through hoops, and I was so excited to get help only to be depressed I can't afford it, and my insurance won't cover it until I actually get diabetes I guess..I have been trying to lose weight and for two years and have always gained it back..
My insurance covers it.
Do you have any other health issues other then being over weight? This drug is only meant if you are over weight with a medical health problem because of it. @@sangel1215
Unfortunately my doctor started me on the lowest dosage of Zepbound (currently on 5.0) and only lost 11lbs since Dec. She wants to go step by step vs. prescribing the higher dosage. So it’s been a slower process for me.
I hope you’re right! I started wagovy and got poor results.. just sickness, only lost a few pounds.. just started Mounjaro.. hope it works 🤞
I lost 40 pounds on wegovy in like 4 months they ran out in my area in july but I just got put on zepbound it's my first week so I can't compare but Here is hoping lol
I’m hopeful for you too!
Hows it going now?
@@roachy211 25 pounds down since my first dose and I just went up to .5 yesterday I'm on week 5 ☺ I'm bigger though and have always been able to loose weight quickly on diets because I'm active and a pescatarian I just overeat lol. To much of a good thing right? It doesn't feel quite the same as wegovy but I would argue I'm doing better more consistently on zepbound! Instead of feeling full when I eat- I feel as if zepbound I'm always full and I have to push past that to eat!
Have you had good results with Zepbound?
@@roachy211 I am down about 42 pounds! It's defiantly a give and take for me personally! I've had far less side effects with zepbound when titrating up aside from consistent bloating- but I also don't feel like it's as effective as long. I still deal with food noise- I'm just not feral, but I still think about food quite a bit. Just better able to control binge eating which is where most of my calories come from. When I eat I can eat a normal amount of food and feel full longer. If I eat at 8pm and wake up at 7am I can still feel that fullness from the night before. Mentally I still WANT to eat- I just can't bc of fullness. On Wegovy- I had to actually schedule when I ate because I was forgetting to eat- and I ate less on top of it because I can actually feel the food hit my stomach and it's quick at that lol! Food was a non factor and that felt great! I rarely ever got cravings for anything and just enjoyed what I did eat. My favorite part was not having to think about food. Being in a place where my body can honestly forget about it allowed me to make better, not in the heat of the moment choices. I'm not particularly a bad eater- in moderation most of my food is actually healthy and the only meat I eat is fish- but I am in fact a volume eater unfortunately when it comes to binges. - All that to say regardless of the fact that I personally prefer wegovy- I'm doing miles better with my health with zepbound than I would on my own and if you can get your hands on it and your doctor thinks it's okay for you to take I would!
I love Mounjaro and Zepbound.
Mounjaro and Zepbound are the exact same medication just different name for Zepbound because it used for weightloss
yes, we know that - I tried them both and they work! @@tintessa1964
Yes
Been on ozempic 4 months lost 35 pounds and just started Zepbound today, started at 260 at 6’2 and lift weights regularly. Ozempic i’ve built a tolerance to.
Hope Zepbound works well for you!
@@DrMitchRiceTwo weeks now on Zepbound and it works better then Ozempic for sure.
I started my first dose of Zepbound on 04/03 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽! I’m ready to see what it can do for me because my health definitely needs it !! Will provide an update in May !
Any updates
Wow! This is so encouraging for obese ppl! I hope insurances cover it!
Probably not covered
Most insurance dont cover it. Or they make you jump through hoops to get PA. I USE compound tirzepatide. Generic name is not correct, it is the name of the MAIN ingredient. I've lost about 90 lbs so far! It's a lifesaver for me.
My insurance covered it. ❤
Start tomorrow
The profile pic is your gateway to get intouch for top notch products
This is the only one my insurance will allow me get .. so researching it
Hope it works!
I’m starting mine Monday ! What should I be ready for need to drop 50 pounds I’m in medical menopause and only in my 30s so scared
I’m too worried about the possibility of getting cancer from this medication, especially the type of cancer you could possibly get which has a very small survival rate.
Wonders if it would be worth it
Might be
So after patient loses targeted weight, then what? How do they keep from gaining without meds? Or do they stay on them?
Like all medications, it should be used as a bridge to facilitate healthy and balanced lifestyle changes in order to keep the weight off permanently
Wrong. They are actually recommending that patients will stay on a maintenance dose of this medication. I am 6 kg from my goal weight and expect to be on a low dose of this for the rest of my life. Obesity is a chronic condition. You would not expect an asthmatic to only take their preventative while in an acute phase. Or someone with chron’s to only take their meds when having a flare up. The same goes for obesity meds in this class.
It’s been widely reported that people who go off this class of meds rebound so yes, one needs to take it for the rest of their lives
You'd have to take insulin for a lifetime anyways, so no difference here, except you'll no longer be diabetic! Duh
Even if I do get to goal weight I will not come off. This medication takes away the food noise that lived in my brain for over 40 years. I do not want it back. I hate it & it's gone. Not sure what is so different about staying in this medication and others staying on medication because of chronic disease. Obesity is a chronic disease. I hope that once I reach goal I can taper down to a manageable dose and spread out jnjections.
There are way more new obesity drugs coming and being studied right now. So the future looks bright.
With the use of this drug, will patients experience hypoglycemia or ketosis?
Very low risk!
Are there any medications that reduce appetite but don’t slow down digestion?
Yes. Several different medications reduce appetite, but the one most commonly used is Phentermine
Can u get it, is the company backed up like wagovy
Might be right now
How much does one injection cost?? You take this daily right?
Once per week!
I been on it for 5 weeks and I’ve lost 10 pounds
Nice!
Why won’t insurance pay for this?
Hard to get covered
Too bad this medicine no longer exists. Finding it is near impossible now. 2 months on it and I've lost 22 lbs. Now prescription can't be filled. Guess the word got out over the last few months now its a gold rush.
Yea, put darn fork/shovel down
That's just flat out a very ignorant way to think about it. Diet and exercise doesn't actually work for everybody. Putting the fork down also doesn't work for everyone either. It's not that easy for some to just have the willpower. Genetics plays a huge role in a person's weight with diabetes and insulin resistance being just two examples. Most times, you can't fight against that. There's also the brain aspect. When you eat, hormones in your stomach sends signals to your brain telling you your full and to stop eating. (He touched on this briefly in the video.) Many people have an imbalance of this, or it just doesn't work right at all. Such as me. I would eat a plateful of food and go back for more because I was still hungry. An hour later, I would be hungry again. This drug completely solves that signal loss I had.
@@jeffs6090 - this is what they want you to believe. Genetics haven’t changed in the last 100 yrs minimally. People didn’t weigh 500-600 lbs. a Gorilla weighs that. The calorie intake controls the weight. You should only be eating 2000 to 1200 calories unless your over 6 ft. If you have a sluggish system then you adjust be eating less. The epidemic of diabetes most often is due to obesity. Eat up & keep giving excuses But know your taking 15-20 yrs off your life from damaging your organs, muscles & bones.
that response shows you are IGNORANT of the DISEASE of obesity.
@@petersturman9105 - it’s not a disease, that’s bologna. I don’t confuse life choices as a disease. just like doing drugs
@tyte You just don’t get it. 🤷♂️
