Mounjaro side effects - 2.5mg

[123CM]

Hi, I’m hoping I could get some advice for Mounjaro. I had the first 2.5mg injection on Wednesday and felt fine up until today, Friday. Stupidly I missed breakfast due to being busy then battled with feeling awful all day, even after I had finally eaten and had an electrolytes drink.
I’ve been hot and cold and anxious all day, barely been able swallow to eat. I’ve had loads of water all day, herbal teas, and juice, but this hot/cold feeling has got me feeling so anxious.

any ideas if this is a common feeling a few days into the first dose, or could Mounjaro just not be for me?

Could it be anxiety op? Do you have a history of that maybe?

I really suffered with anxiety the first day after I started but I was just worried about the side effects. Slow deep breathing worked. I have found having 3 meals a day is really important to managing side effects as drinking 2l of water on top of the decafe tea and coffee I usually drink. I think it’s really important you use the time to learning to have a more healthy relationship with food.

Have you taken your temp? You may just be coming down with a cold. I’ve had cold symptoms all week but so has the rest of my family who aren’t taking mounjaro.

@ThatCoralShark Yes unfortunately I do have a history with anxiety. I think perhaps the side effects kicked in and I spiralled making myself feel worse.

I’m feeling better today, still a bit spaced out but that can be normal for me the day after a panic attack.

thank you, I’m feeling better today, not 100% but better at least. I think you’re completely right about learning to have a more healthy relationship with food, I guess it’s all about taking control.

I’ll persevere, I have read a few different posts from people seeing improvements after the second/third jab 🤞
