Terrified of Mourjaro 7.5mg - any reassurance

[Quibble123]

So been on this journey for 12 weeks, 3 stone lost, 1 X dose of 2.5mg, 2 X dose of 5mg. Wanted to stay on 5mg, but it was starting to make less difference, pharmacy advise moving to 7.5mg which I ordered. Now feeling very nervous about taking it due to all the terrible experiences I keep seeing on a FB group - any words of reassurance? I've had virtually zero side effects up until now....

It's less of a step up from 5 to 7.5 than when you went from 2.5 to 5. That was doubling a dose and if you coped with that fine I wouldn't worry too much about 7.5. I found 2.5 to 5 was brutal but was fine going to 7.5.

Agree you are stepping up 50% not doubling. Still some effects but your body will be better accustomed as well. Still think better to inject when you don’t have to leave house or can afford to be kind to yourself - do nothing or go to bed.

I’ve now had 3 doses from my 7.5mg pen and my main side effects were constipation and occasional coldness. These haven’t increased at all over the last 3 weeks. Probably, if anything, I feel better now than when I first started 2.5 months ago.

2nd week on 7.5, first week was fine second week awful nausea but drinking electrolytes has helped. Agree with the pp about making sure your next day can be an easy one. I changed from a Wednesday night to Thursday as I wfh on Fridays.
I have lost3kg this week so delighted with that as my loss has been slow but steady.

In what way brutal? I'm constantly cold but now have terrible anxiety too

7.5 was not a problem. A few days of constipation to begin with but been fine ever since. 9th dose tonight and another pen waiting in the fridge.

I didn’t notice the move up to be honest. In terms of side effects anyway. It definitely did good things for my weight loss. People always share more horror stories than good, and is there a chance the group is whipping themselves up a bit into a 7.5mg drama?

I moved my injection times from morning to evening and felt much better. Going up to 7.5 didn't affect me anywhere near as much.
