Mounjaro 7.5 experiences

I've done four weeks on 2.5 and 5 and have taken my first 7.5 on Sunday. I hardly had any side effects - a bit of indigestion - and I've had the food noise disappear but not the full feeling.

Since taking my 7.5 on Sunday I can't really think about eating anything - it feels like that has really, really ramped up. I now feel that I will have to consciously make an effort to eat.

I know it's only a couple of days, but has anybody else felt this with 7.5? How have people found 7.5?

I have just gone up after two months on 5: two days in. I don't have side effects as such but the food noise which had crept back in the second month on 5 has gone.

I am not on 7.5 properly yet but took a bigger dose than 5 as the bonus dose last week and still nothing!
I have had no side-effects, possibly a couple of times being a bit cold and hangry but not certain related to MJ. I think I might be a bit less hungry and having fewer cravings than when dieting normally but would love to get this suppression others speak of!

Yes my daughter .. started 7.5 last week. and first 2 days she's had to force herself to eat something..
Once she has she stops feeling sick.
Then been okay after 1st two days.
She's doing really well.

I've just taken my 4th 7.5mg and can't wait to go up to 10.
I haven't had any side effects but I've found more food noise and less suppression than 2.5 or 5.
Odd. Maybe a duff batch I don't know, some people have said they have also found this and 10mg will get me back on track. Hopeful as losses have really slowed down this month.

I’m the opposite - I actually thought my 5 was possibly a duff batch, but I still lost 7lb. All experiences seem to be unique.

That’s good to hear. I’m feeling better as the week goes on.

I’m a bit nervous about it - I don’t want to not eat at all as that’s not sustainable for long term weight loss. I am in week one of it and thinking I’ll go back down to 5

I had my first 7.5mg dose of Mounjaro last weekend and have felt fine on it. I am not very interested in snacking but can manage two reasonable meals (but probably not three) a day. I am tending to have a big brunch then a normal dinner but not craving sweet stuff. To be fair I don't have a very sweet tooth anyway. So far since starting in the third week of June, I have lost 8kgs without much by way of side effects, but I know I need to up my exercise to ensure I don't lose muscle mass. I seem to losing weight gradually, which is fine, but not as exciting as friends who seem to have lost loads then plateaud. Our bodies are so unique; I am sure that no two journeys will be the same. Wishing everyone really well in their good health journeys. I think I have another 8kg to lose to get to where I want to I shall plod on and hope that slow and steady wins the race as it were :-)

I had my 1st 7.5 Friday morning and after reading loads about 'bug suppression' I was abit nervous but nothing kicked in as yet! Quite disappointed tbh I wanted to not have food noise and am talking myself out of crisps, I really thought this MJ would be an answer and B4 anyone says anything I know it's a tool, and I'm abiding by everything I have read not lost that much since I started, I read about all these big losses and that frustrating for me, I know we are all different I just feel more of us that it's not wkin that well for need to pop that in chats too
