Mounjaro - Should I go up to 7.5mg

[wondabar]

I did 4 weeks on 2.5mg and am about to enter my 3rd week on 5mg. Altogether I have lost a stone in weight but seem to be losing much slower on 5mg and am definitely feeling hungrier and peckish. Should I stay on 5mg or move to 7.5mg? I'm hoping that if I move to 7.5mg I will see more of a difference. I currently weigh 86kg.

You always lose a lot the first month… most people anyway. I’d prefer a steady weight loss so I don’t get loose skin. You have lost a fantastic weight in 7 weeks. Personally I would stick with 5mg. If the pens are the same price then get a 7.5mg and count the clicks ( 40 clicks is 5mg )

Thanks @olympicsrock. I will try to stick with the 5mg and hope that I see some weight loss as it is so discouraging when I feel hungry again. I'm surprised that 2.5mg made such a difference in appetite suppression and that 5mg is making very little difference

I think you should move up given that you're not suffering from awful side effects but aren't getting good suppression. Easy to move back down still using the 7.5 pen if needed, but if you go for 5mg, you're stuck on that dose for a month

Id go up. Get to where you want to first

I'd move up. I stuck on 5 too long, ignoring the cravings creeping back in and realised quickly after re-ordering that it didn't work anymore. My provider made me finish that one before allowing me to move up and it was a rough month. Now and 7.5 and all is good but I was white knuckling it for at least 3 weeks before I got here!

Poster was asking last AUGUST! They have hopefully made their mind up by now 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
