Discontinuing zepbound with PCOS

General/Advice

I started zepbound as a way to help me lose weight back in August of 2024. I have lost 115lbs and I thought that discontinuing use would be okay. Since discontinuing in December of 2025 I have been able to maintain my weight, I’ve been eating well and exercising, and I am definitely enjoying being lighter! However I am now having PCOS symptoms I forgot about. The cystic acne is back on my chin and jaw, hair is growing thicker and faster especially on my upper lip. My periods are inconsistent and painful. I had over a year of none of these issues, and the only difference is stopping zepbound. I don’t know what to do because I can’t take a weight loss med forever. But it’s the only thing that’s ever given me relief on all of my symptoms. And now I’m skinnier, but still miserable in my body.
