3rd week in and starving again

[Shiningstaroneday]

Day 2 of 3rd week of 2.5 Mounjaro and while the days 1-3 were usually the most suppressed days, i’m starving at the minute.
Does this mean i’m ready to move up?
I still have one more shot of 2.5 but from the looks i ll have some bonus in the syringe.
Can i try and do 3.75 next week to see how that goes before i order the 5mg

No, you can go slower, but don’t go faster, you could end up where you can’t tolerate it as the body rejects. You will need to stick it out, don’t do the bonus dose, just move to 5 at the right time,

I agree with @Shrinkingrose. The 2.5 dose is to get your body used to the medication. Let the process happen.

If you are hungry eat. Make sure you are having enough protein and fibre and lots of water.

This is correct. Do a minimum of 4 weeks on 2.5mg before moving up. 2.5mg is just a dose to get your body used to it, remember that. Some people don't loose on 2.5mg, this is normal. Let your body get used to it

Minimum of 4 weeks at each pen dose. This is to allow your body to feel used to processing the medication. Be patient.

You might get a little bit more on your 5th dose out of the pen with a syringe if you haven't been priming too much, but stick to 4 weeks instruction and try to eat sensibly if you can.

Thanks everyone. i wondered what the bit where it says use a minimum of 3 days before moving to another dose refer to? Could i do another dose earlier than 7 days?

@Shiningstaroneday I really wouldn’t. Not with the first pen. Just trust the process, follow the rules and give yourself the best chance of this working.

That is for one off if changes to injection day are needed not for hurrying things along.

Mounjaro is a long term solution not a quick fix. Be patient.

Thank you. I will
