Switch from Zepbound

Aetna no longer covers Zepbound effective 7/1/2025. I really didn’t mind the zepbound at all. I never felt sick and I had no other side effects. In six months I lost 40 pounds which I was really happy with however due to the change with my insurance, they moved me to Wegovy.

Today was my first shot and I’m just wondering what others experience is if they’ve made a change or if they didn’t make a change just if they’ve been on Wegovy for a while and they’ve seen a great weight loss

Switching from Zep to Wegovy was much easier for my friend than the other way around.

Switching between the GLP-1s can be tricky bc of the change in dosage but since Zepbound is typically understood as the "strongest" of the bunch I'd imagine switching to Wegovy shouldn't have adverse affects. Curious to know if you feel like the Wegovy is as effective for you as the Zepbound was.

While I don’t have experience with this directly, I think a lot more feedback will be coming. This is happening to so many people now. The good news is that you know how your body responds, what lifestyle habits work for you, and what it’s like being on a GLP-1. I hope the transition goes well for you!
