Quick Q - I’ve done 4 weeks of 7.5, should I move to 10?

[Delphigirl]

I’ve been a really slow loser, on mounjaro since June. Went up to 7.5 after 8 weeks and only a 4.5lb loss up to then. Then did 2 weeks on 7.5, went on holiday without my pen for 10 days (idiot), came back on Saturday, injected, and have lost 4.5lbs since! So doubled my loss. No side effects. Now I have to reorder. Should I go up to 10 and try to kickstart some proper loss or stay on 7.5 for another month and see if my very recent loss continues? Would obviously be delighted with 4.5lb per week but until this week it has been 0.5 per week which is painfully slow and expensive.
thanks!

Remember that it's not the medication that makes you lose the weight. How is the level of suppression? Cravings? Fullness?

If you have all of those from the dose you are on, a higher dose is unlikely to increase weight loss.

Maybe look at what you are eating/drinking before you decide.

That’s good advice, thanks very much!
