I felt horrible on Saxenda - will Mounjaro be any better?

[lollylawyer]

I took Saxenda a couple of years ago and felt pretty nauseous throughout. I liked the daily dose as I could skip if the nausea got too bad. I was also constantly exhausted. I don’t sleep well anyway usually and have a very busy professional job and I couldn’t cope. I also overate once (emotional eating) and was the sickest I’ve ever been and it was truly awful and had to have three days off work. Am I likely to get on any better with mounjaro? I have
a lot of weight to lose.

It’s definitely worth a go. I gave up on Saxenda a few years ago because it made me sick, ditto Wegovy last year. I decided as a last ditch attempt to give Mounjaro a go and I’m on my second month with so far no side effects at all.

That’s really reassuring!! I’ve just ordered it as I have nothing to lose!

Hi....I also took Saxenda and hated it. I was always tired and nauseous. Now on Mounjaro and it has been brilliant.....only the mildest of side effects.
Good luck xx

Hope you get on well with it! I’ve been a slow loser on them all but it’s much easier to only see slow progress when it’s not accompanied by feeling sick all the time!

Thank you
feeling relieved as read some horror stories about people being sick as a dog!

going to detox/eat healthy before my first jab and try a half dose

I had side effects with Saxenda especially eggy burps, and didn't lose much weight so gave up

I was worried mounjaro would be the same but it's been much better for me. I haven't lost weight as fast as some and am a little sensitive to the gastro effects when moving up doses but overall it's loads better and am very happy I tried it.
