My doctor prescribed Zepbound for type 2 diabetes, overweight, and OSA. I was approved by my Humana part D Medicare drug plan. However, the copayment is more than the Eli Lilly Direct plan so I am getting it through them. The new cost of 2.5mg is 299 a month. It is already helping with inflammation and joint pain. After using my cpap machine for 3 years I am no longer able to tolerate it. I am not sure how it is working for the sleep apnea because I think I have to have another sleep study to actually tell.

@melin why would Zepbound treat sleep apnea? I think if you lost weight due to the drug that would help your apnea but you didnt mention that youve lost any yet. Also why cant you use your cpap machine? Ive been using mine for about 10 years. Donyou need to try a different mask?
