I had a lot more success and less side effects on Zepbound vs Wegovy. I pay out of pocket for Zepbound through Lily Direct and even with a coupon it's $500 a month. Without the coupon it would be $2k a month! It's worth it for me, though even though it hurts my wallet.

The triple agonists like Retatrutide should be available in ~6 months assuming all goes well with their trials. Unless you are Trump who got special permission to get it before everyone else! https://www.statnews.com/2026/06/23/eli-lilly-unusual-weight...

Whoa, thru amazon pharmacy you can get it for 300 after the $200 Lily coupon FYI.

!! I will check that out. I used to use Amazon pharmacy and it was $700 a month so I switched to Lily Direct which was $200 cheaper. Thanks for the tip.

Zepbond is $300/month from the pharmacy (CVS) as well… with the Lily coupon.

But as the dosage climbs, so does the price. I started at the $300/month dosage and am up to the $350/month dosage.

(Hopefully I get to my target weight at this dosage—it's very possible.)
