Mounjaro week 4 hunger

[sofaprincess]

I’m hoping some of you lovely Mumsnetters can give me some reassurance! I took my 4th mounjaro shot (2.5mg) on Thursday and am getting hungrier and hungrier as the week goes on! The first 3 weeks I was unable to eat a lot and my appetite was massively suppressed and I was queasy in the mornings, so when I needed to order my next lot in between Xmas and new year to account for additional processing time, I ordered the 2.5mg again as I was worried the 5mg would be too much and actually make me sick. I’m due on in a few days, so it may be hormones making me hungrier - has anyone experienced this? Feeling worried that I now have bought 4 weeks treatment that might not actually work!

I think I would try the 2.5mg next week and see how you go. If it seems like you should have moved up to 5mg, then if you wanted to take 5mg you could do two injections from the pen. Or you could take 3.75mg by doing one injection normally and then using the counting clicks method do a second half dose of 30 clicks. Hope that makes sense. Then you could order the next pen as a 5mg pen and continue with that.

Every month when my period is due I convince myself that it's not working anymore. Period kicks in and all is well again, for me it's definitely hormone related and has been like this since I started back in May.

Thanks both :) Good to hear spuddy4, I’ll take the next dose as planned and hope it’s the hormones!

Time to move to 5mg, mine wears off by week 4 I hope my 12.5 arrives before Wednesday as 10 no longer cutting it.

Just before my period the hunger intensifies and weight loss stalls. It all usually eases off on the second day of my period.
