Are you on a weight loss journey? When lifestyle changes like eating a balanced diet and getting plenty of physical activity aren’t effective, it can be frustrating. But there’s good news: weight loss medications like <\/span>Zepbound<\/span><\/a> can speed up your progress. Zepbound, a brand name of tirzepatide, is <\/span>a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1 receptor agonist), as well as a glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) receptor agonist.<\/span><\/p>\n

Zepbound<\/span><\/a> is FDA-approved for weight loss in adults with obesity\u2014a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or more\u2014and adults who are overweight (a BMI of 27 or higher) with at least one weight-related health condition, such as Type 2 diabetes or high cholesterol. It is also approved for the treatment of <\/span>obstructive sleep apnea<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you’re taking Zepbound for weight management, there are potential side effects to be aware of, such as changes in energy levels. Does Zepbound actually give you energy? Keep reading to find out.<\/span><\/p>\n

Does Zepbound give you energy?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Zepbound’s effect on energy levels is somewhat complex. Initially, it may make you feel more tired, but energy may increase once the drug begins helping you lose weight. This may result from a psychological component as well.<\/span><\/p>\n

The weight-loss drug Zepbound mimics the hormones GIP and GLP-1, slowing digestion, reducing appetite, and improving blood sugar regulation. However, increased energy is not a reported side effect of Zepbound\u2014it’s more likely to have the opposite effect. Some users report feeling fatigued a day or two after their weekly injection, while others find fatigue to be more pronounced after dosage increases. Typically, your dosage is increased every four weeks until the maintenance dose is reached.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to <\/span>Wajahat Mehal<\/span><\/a>, MD, Director of the Yale Metabolic Health and Weight Loss Program and professor of medicine at Yale School of Medicine, during the initial six to nine months, most patients consume fewer calories than they need, which can contribute to feelings of tiredness or low energy. As your weight decreases over time, mobility improves, which may give you the impression of increased energy levels.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t
