Wegovy or Mounjaro?

[Heather1991]

Hi all I'm thinking of starting Wegovy or Mounjaro. What are everyone's thoughts? I need to lose around 2 stone to be at a healthy BMI and to reduce my health risks. How have everyone's symptoms been etc? Just looking for advice and support. Thanks

If you search within this board, you’ll find loads of information but basically, mounjaro is newer, has another peptide, gives greater weight loss and suits more people. But do your research and decide which sounds best for you.

I’ve got to 7.5mg with no side effects that said this time 2 years ago I was losing on the older glp1’s now out of stock again no side effects. Someone in peri menopause having periods turn up 14 or 28 days heavy, whereas older glp’s (ie Saxenda) took periods away.

my brother insulin controlled as sugar levels very high and who hasn’t the ability to walk feels mj is torture and has had to ask for a break from the nhs prescription.

We’re both type 2 and have history of spinal problems. We’ve both agreed we have really good blood readings as opposed to losing substantial pounds on mj.

I am now on 12.5mg of mounjaro. This is the start of my 5th month and I have lost just over 3 stone so far. And its now really noticeable. I am delighted.

I have been lucky and really not had bad symptoms. I really burpy on the first day of each injection. And since I got to 10mg the food suppression has been strong and I have to make myself eat some days.

Happy to answer any questions.

The general consensus is MJ is great

I had way less side effects and much better losses on Wegovy. I had to switch for vatious reasons but wish i could have stayed it.

Im persevering but my WL on MJ has been crap on both 2.5 and 5 but "digestive issues" and eggy sulphur burps of death have been off the charts

Thank you, going to start in January with mounjaro. Where did you find best to inject? I’m going to work out my calorie deficit and protein intake. I’m excited to start but nervous at the same time. Did you exercise too? Thanks
