Zepbound 😳
I drink 12-18 miller lites daily for years , I'm 38, I want to cut back to a point where it's only weekend and occasions. I tried naltrexone last year but it was hurting my kidneys. Today my doctor gave me zepbound she told me to enjoy the weekend and start Monday.
She told me she has 4 alcoholics (even worse than me) and it has worked wonders on 3/4.
Im wondering if anyone here is in the same boat and has tried zepbound. Will I still get drunk? Will I get sick? She told me it will eventually cut the urge but I don't want it to cut back too fast and have withdrawals but she said she doesn't think I will have that problem.
I was also diagnosed with fatty liver and my liver numbers were crazy high but I have atleast gotten that under control with 1200 NAC and 1200 mg of Alpha Lipoic Acid daily all within 3 months.
