Constipation is my problem. I'll try the fiber gummies.

I take 1/2 tbsp of Miralaz and 1/2 tbsp of Optifiber daily and have had no issues so far. I am eating less and feel full and have been on 2.5mg of Zepbound for almost three full weeks now and have lost almost 10 pounds. I still would like to lose about 25 more so here's hoping I can stay on the Zepbound for long enough to get the rest of the weight off and improve my health as well as my sleep.

@bp486 I am 67 years old and have had sleep problems since I was very young. I’ve been on numerous sleep medications that didn’t help me to fall asleep or stay asleep without having at least 2 or 3 of their listed side effects. If the medication says it can cause weight gain, I’ll be the one to gain 25 or 30 lbs. Seroquel , 100mg. Along with one 2 mg Lorazepam was working nicely for me until the weight kept piling on. Now I’m back to discussing other sleep medications with my Psychiatrist. They wouldn’t prescribe me the weight loss drugs because my BMI wasn’t over >27 or >30 but am now considered overweight. I’ve not been this heavy in over 35 +years. I’d love to be prescribed, short term, Zepbound. I truly believe in getting into a good exercise regime and continue a healthy diet, I could stay with what works (Seroquel) for sleep and use the Zepbound for the short term use to lose the weight I’ve already gained. I live in Kansas, have Medicare, BCBS FEP and thirdly, a UHC plan through Kancare.
