To be this anxious

It is about:blank 1:45AM and I cannot sleep, my mind is racing with anxiety over my health. I toss and turn when trying to get comfortable enough to fall asleep but I don’t because I am worried about blood clots developing in my legs. I can feel that my hands and my feet are cold and I am worried that this is a result of poor circulation because there is something wrong with my heart.

I am back on Mounjaro after 14 days off being unable to take it, I took it on Saturday and within 48 hours I have diarrhoea and sulphur burps and I feel awful.

I am trying to lose weight and I have lost just over 4 stone currently. I am one stone from my first goal weight and then any weight after this point I want to do without Mounjaro but I am so worried about the weight piling back on and something happening to me.

I was never worried about my health before taking Mounjaro, I was worried about my weight but I didn’t research what health conditions I could develop from being overweight. I now research every little thing I think or feel and I am terrified.

No, that definitely is not normal at all.

I’m going to speak to my GP this morning & explain what I’ve been feeling. I don’t normally suffer with health anxiety but it seems to have reared its head since being on MJ but it is helping me… but just the weight

I’m worried that not everything is connected either so if I stop taking the MJ in order to no longer have these worries about blood clots and my heart, I end up putting the weight back on but still have these worries anyway..

No that level of worry is not normal. Can you titrate down to a much lower dose so you can gradually adjust and feel better about all.of it? If you've lost 4 stone that's a big win and will make exercise and better choices easier.

You’re going to be ok. Don’t believe everything you think. Good to see GP though. Have a lovely day.x

Cold hands can be a symptom of anxiety.

By all means contact your GP, but if you bought the MJ online it is their responsibility as a prescribed to deal with the MJ related aspects. Their clinical decision - their responsibility.

Great job on the weight loss. Congrats.
