AIBU to worry Mounjaro and Elvanse seem less effective now?

[Elphabayo]

Hi all
I’m on 2.5 mg of Mounjaro and 35 mg elvanse - I was doing brilliantly but lately I’m just not getting any benefits and I feel like I’m actually worse. At first thought it was linked to my periods but now I don’t think it is
I’m 45 - I’m really desperate to have some kind of benefits back and today just feel I could cry any experiences?

They are both low introductory doses - have you considered requesting to increase elvanse and going up a dose on Mounjaro?

I took Mounjaro for several months, building up from the initial dose to (from memory) 10mg.

For me personally, Mounjaro seemed to get less effective as the months wore on, despite increasing the dose. The initial gains were great but I found I was “cheating” more often, almost like I’d got used to it.

That, combined with pretty unpleasant side effects (wind, stomach pains) made me stop. I’ve continued to lose weight conventionally by changing my diet and getting a personal trainer to give me proper guidance on exercise / weight training.

i have considered trying again a couple of times but the side effects as the dose increased were not worth it. I’d rather take a different approach and have a settled stomach.

It’s a very low dose of MJ so not surprising it’s not having an effect

You need to up the dose. I’ve lost seven stone in a year. 18 down to 11 stone. A wonder drug for me. But it costs me a lot of money.

I just worry that Mounjaro does blunt the elvanse sometimes but think I will look at increasing the dose
