Went up a dose on Zepbound, and godddddd the insomnia is real.
ohhhh possibly this is why I didn't get to sleep until 4:30.
Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

The insomnia has happened with every dose increase; for the first couple-few days after the shot, I just cannot fucking fall asleep. By night 3 or 4, I can sleep normally again. This pattern lasts for a few weeks, maybe a month, and then the insomnia goes away. It's maddening. I'm so tired right now that I'm bug-eyed and twitchy. Tonight had better be a sleep normally night.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Shir thanks for the frequent check-ins.

Steph, have you had any insomnia prior to Zep? I agree with -t that the dosing of a frying pan to the head seems tough.

Steph, have you had any insomnia prior to Zep?
Once in a while. But it seems pretty closely linked to increasing the dose, since it's happened with all 3 doses now. If it keeps following the pattern, it'll stop after a couple of weeks. Fingers crossed!

It's more of an art than a science.
