Hi @moddydammy, Welcome to Connect. Sorry to hear that you have drug induced neuropathy and now have developed drop foot in both feet. The Foundation for Peripheral Neuropathy has a list of different treatments if you haven't already seen them - https://www.foundationforpn.org/treatments/. Others have mentioned using orthotics to help with drop foot. Have you discussed it with your doctor or foot specialist to see if they may have any suggestions?

Thank you and yes we just recently discussed braces for my legs and feet.

I've been feeling strange zaps and zings in my left foot a bunch. Hurts but all of the sudden today I could lift my left foot slightly off the ground. This gives me hope! It's been 7 weeks since I've been off zepbound.

I am curious to find others that this is happening to and band together. Has anyone told the FDA? What about the company? I plan to file something with my doctor because it's becoming more and more clear that all of this is from zepbound.
