Hi, I have just turned 53 and went on Mounjaro 6 weeks ago. I was 'officially' post-menopausal having not had a period for over 12 months (actually it was about 15 months). However, I was still having some 'hot flashes'. My weight gain was menopausal - went to 12 st from 10st, all around middle area. Nothing would shift it. Never been overweight in my life previously.
I was on 2.5mg of Mounjaro for 4 weeks and now I'm on second week of 5mg. The following has happened -
Hot flashes (flushes?) stopped almost immediately.
Knee pain (which was a sports injury from my 20s but, I believe, was exacerbated by menopause) subsided - bear in mind I was considering knee surgery.
Breast tenderness in last few days (similar to what I remember from early pregnancy in my 30s).
Sudden increased sex drive (sorry if tmi, but it's hormonal so including this).
And now, period has returned. Last month I had a few days spotting (on 2.5mg), this month, on 5mg, it's like a regular period.
Anyone else? I feel like Mounjaro has somehow reversed the menopause! How can this be? Any doctors on here?
