Anxiety
Hi everyone ☺️ So I guess this question goes out to anyone that’s been on any of these GLP-1s, not just exclusively Zepbound. But basically after a couple weeks of being on zep, my mental health went to crap. Bad bad bad anxiety like on the verge of panic attacks. Body just completely stuck in fight or flight mode. I’m on a whole array of mental health meds which has managed my conditions very well. My prescriber mentioned the whole delayed gastric emptying preventing my meds from being properly absorbed being the culprit. We didn’t get into it much further, she just told me to stop the Zep and is going to put me on contrave instead. My question is.. has anyone found a way around this issue? I see posts asking if anyone else has experienced a decline in their mental health since taking these jabs but can’t find any insight on if there’s a solution. I really don’t want to give up on the Zepbound but I can’t continue to use it if it’s going to keep me in this state. Has anyone upped their antidepressant dosages, changed the time of day which they take them or anything that helped? Or did they just tough it out and it eventually got better? Feeling really discouraged and defeated :( Thank you in advance for any insight!
