Please tell me your success stories if you didn't get immediate suppression on 2.5mg Mounjaro pen

[mumof1or2]

After months of researching and following different support groups, reading other people's success stories etc, I finally took the plunge a few weeks back and started on mounjaro. I'm three weeks in and it has had no effect on me whatsoever. No suppression at all. I know this happens to some people, but it's not common to hear their stories - so that's what I want!

If you had no suppression on 2.5mg but stuck with it and got amazing suppression at 5mg or 7.5mg and experienced the "struggling to eat your calories" that I keep reading about, please share your story with me. I want to hear success stories from people who had a shakey start like me.

I put a similar post in a facebook group that I follow and I got responses like "I was really lucky, I got suppression straight away". That's great and I'm happy for you, but that's not what I'm looking for here! I want to be reassured that other people started off like me but got suppression further down the line and lost a lot of weight.

I started back in February so a long time ago now. From what I remember, I didn't get decent suppression until 10mg (which I stayed at). But I did become ambivalent to things like chocolate and just didn't crave them anymore. I've never had the 'can't finish my meal' feeling everyone talks about.

I've lost almost 6st and have started reducing my dose - the lack of suppression is back just by reducing to 7.5mg.

Thank you for your reply. This gives me hope that the suppression/ambivalence to junk food may still come! Well done on your amazing loss.

I've been nearly 2 years on it now, March 23. I did have suppression from day 1 but it wained and I started again in September 24. I got suppression at 7.5 mg, I'm on 10 now and today I'm starving, hab was on Wednesday so it really does vary.
