10mg- Mounjaro experiences

[Orangesandlemons77]

How are people finding 10mg? I'm finding it fine in terms of side effects but am splitting the dose into 2 5mg doses twice a week.

But I am only eating 2 small meals a day, can't really eat much more. I guess around 800 cals a day. Trying to get some protein in.

I'm on week 2 of 10mg. I have had alot more side effects (sulphur burps and fatigue mainly) but 7.5 just wasn't giving me the appetite suppression anymore.

My jab day is Sunday so hopefully it'll give me a hand over Xmas!

Thanks, yes I am sure it will! Are you managing to eat much?

I had no side effects at all until my third dose of 10mg. Then started getting 24 hours of diarrhoea each week.
I've dropped back to 7.5 and all is well again so I'm staying on this dose unless it stops being effective when I might have to give 10 another go.

I do 9mg. 10 was too much for me.

I'm on 10mg no side effects other than the constipation. I'm on about 600 cals a day, like you say it's not easy to get macros in on that. I can bolster the cals with a mince pie or glass of Bailey's but then I feel poorly

I'm thinking of looking at the Michael Mosely 800 cals blood sugar diet plans for some ideas as there was some quite good stuff on there. Also maybe protein shakes

No constipation so far, but I do take some glucommanan capsules for fibre maybe that is helping

I’m not wishing to be mean at all but please tell me you aren’t sticking to that day after day, as that is clearly not healthy. And boosting that with Baileys or mince pies is going to make you feel ill and is not going to help you manage your diet when you stop the jabs. I really hope you were joking.

No side effects for me on 10mg

That's good to know. Maybe I will be grave enough for the full dose weekly next time.

*brave

Why are you eating so little. You will lose muscle, your hair. I’m also not sure if you’re joking? Of course you’d feel ill if you just add a glass of baileys or a mince pie?

It is quite a high dose and easy not to eat a lot. I too am on around 800 cals atm. So I understand what Doggymummer means. And I guess with Christmas next week that is why they are having a bit of Christmas food and drink?

No need to be unkind.

I’ve just ordered my 4th 10mg pen. For some reason I didn’t like 7.5mg and was wary about 10mg but it’s been good for me. Not massive weightloss but minimal side effects. I’ve had the odd nauseous feeling, no sulphur burps or constipation but I do have a daily antacid and eat Greek yoghurt with chia seeds, and have 3 mega three capsules a day, which I think prevents constipation.

I think I could have done with going up to 12 but I’m saving that for the next time I order as I didn’t want to go up on Christmas Day.

What is mega 3 please? Yes I had some nausea the first weeks but that seems to have wore off now. I'm planning on sticking at 10 until goal and then going to 5mg.

Sorry, my autocorrect! It’s Omega 3, not mega capsules. I’ve got an image now of massive tablets. I think because they’re oil they help lubricate the way, if you see what I mean.

I don’t think anyone was unkind, in fact the opposite, I do not agree we should read someone’s comments, which is going to harm them and turn the other way.

No need to worry about me, and I'm not telling anyone else what to do. I'm closely monitored by my GP and had brilliant blood results this month. I got a text from the doctor telling me to keep up the good work. I appreciate everyone has different experiences and all our journeys are different. I have been on Fast 800 for about two years now and have lost almost 5 stone. Not looking for rapid weightloss like some people I just want to get to a good weight when I get there.

I am on a lot of other medication and supplements to get my nutrient's from, it's important people understand weightloss is not just about calories in, calories out and some people take a different path.

This will be something I need to do for life, it's not a quick fix. I'll leave you to it I have answered the question posed by the OP.

When i first tried 7.5mg i was so rough for 2 weeks, Medexpress advised me to go back to 5mg, i did this for 2 weeks, then by using the 7.5mg pen and varying the clicks i put myself on 6,25mg for 4 weeks, then tried 7.5mg again, i have been fine on it for 4 weeks, but rubbish weight loss and last week for the first time in 19 weeks i stayed the same.....not happy! So tomorrow i am trying 10mg for the first time, i am toying with the idea of doing 2 x 5mg doses per week rather than administer the full 10mg as i have had so many side effects in the past when going up a dose, the sulphur burps, severe stomach pains and diarrhoea plus bad nausea! I'll make my decision tomorrow. Is anyone on 10mg and had worse side effects than the lower doses? Thanks Guys 🙂

I'm on week 3 of 10mg and loving it so far. No nasty side effects for me at all. And I'm finally having some suppression and better losses. I was getting no where with the lower doses. Very sloooww loss and zero suppression.
