Concern about my vision was one of the reasons I stopped taking Zepbound. I had almost daily flashes of light in the corners of my eyes toward the end of those five weeks of using it.
It stood out to me because my mom has a history of retina detachments and flashes are a symptom of retina issues. I’ve had maybe one flash in the 20ish months since I stopped taking Zepbound and had very few in my life prior to it.
I’m glad GLPs work for a lot of people but it was a horrible experience for me. I’m thankful I stopped as soon as I did and decided to get in shape the old fashioned way instead. Whatever works for you is all that matters, just be careful.
Dozens of lawsuits have been filed against the companies behind popular GLP-1 drugs Ozempic, Wegovy and Zepbound, claiming the drugs led to a rare type of vision loss.
