Mounjaro insomnia

Hi, has anyone had this at the beginning and it has gradually resolved? It is so bad that if it doesn't go away, it will have to be stopped.

It does get better for some but you could speak to your pharmacy or GP and see if they can prescribe you something for sleep temporarily. See if that works before you stop.

I'm struggling with the same thing. Not just insomnia but really vivid and weird dreams which are waking me up after I do finally get to sleep.

I'm only on 2.5mg and have got suppression but I'm so tired.

I've had the opposite.
I've struggled with sleep for years and now I'm on MJ I sleep much better.

Thanks for your replies.
Already have sleep meds as it was a problem before that had been relatively stable for months. That is what encouraged the taking of Mounjaro (one problem at a time), but the meds do not seem to be working anymore. I am hoping it is a temporary thing that will change, but two weeks in it is horrible. Does anyone have any idea how long the tiredness lasts or if it is a side effect that is not going to go away.

I have this, it's not horrendous (my son is still young so I'm still used to sleepless nights) but if I also experienced insomnia, I can see how concerning it would be as a side effect.

I find it gets better as you stay on the same dose but I went up a dose last week and had it again - not quite as bad so I'm hoping it eases off as I get used to it.
