Mounjaro - am I doing it wrong

I'm only on 2.5 so far. I'm trying to lose 4st to get to a healthy weight.

I'm just not really feeling anything after 2.5mg? I'm less ravenously hungry and likely to binge, but I'm still eating 1200 a day and feeling hungry. I've had a couple of wines in the eve too. No fullness or side effects.

Is this normal? I guess I just need to move up to 5mg?

Everyone's "normal" is different. The 2.5mg dose isn't meant to produce the weight loss effect. You are right that it's supposed to happen from 5mg onwards. Some people, whether real or placebo, seem to react to it on the 2.5mg dose, but definitely not everyone.

How many weeks have you been on it so far?

That's a starting dose. But also 1200 calories is really low. Mounjaro isn't supposed to make you never feel hungry, if you aren't eating enough you're going to feel hungry.
