Looking for some hope around mood/anxiety side effects

Post Content

I am on week 5 of Zepbound (took first 5mg dose last week and will take second today) and I have been struggling with intense depressive/irritability episodes on Days 6 and 7. People not on the drug keep telling me that after 2-3 months this may go away. Has anyone had experience with this where mood side effects improved over time? And does anyone have any tips. To be clear I am a mental health professional myself and am not having any safety/suicidality concerns or anything like that. I am keeping my psychiatrist and PCP in the loop. I just keep getting these periods of intense dysregulation and would love to hear if others have had similar experiences that improved.
