I started Zepbound at the end of January and had really good results at 2.5mg (down 16 lbs so far).
But a few weeks ago, I suddenly started having severe nausea along with a really sensitive gag reflex. It’s gotten to the point where:
- I gag if I cough
- I struggle to swallow food because of the nausea
- I can’t brush my teeth or gargle without gagging
This wasn’t happening at all in the beginning, so I’m confused why it started now.
Has anyone experienced something like this? If so:
- Did it go away or did you have to stop?
- Were you able to continue at the same dose?
- Did changing your dosing schedule (like spacing it out longer than 7 days) help at all?
I’d really like to stay on it since it was working, but this side effect has been pretty intense.
Any advice or experiences would really help.
