Mood improved?

I am only on week 2 of a 2.5 dose, but has anyone else noticed improved mood on Mounjaro?
(I've searched threads but only found 1 or 2 comments...)
I feel like my mood is more stable and I have more 'get up and go' and would be interested if anyone else has too.

TIA

Yes, definitely. I find it helps with that very much. An unexpected bonus for sure.

Ohh yes! I don't know if it's a side effect as such or just happiness that I'm taking active steps to lose the excess weight (and can already see results in week 2!) but either way I'm definitely in a happier frame of mind. I also have a load more energy generally. Considering I'm usually overtired and grouchy (underlying health issues...) this is a huge improvement 😅

I just wanted to reactivate this as I am starting to think about coming off in the next few months and have been reading the threads... A lot of people seem to feel mentally worse on MJ - I see lack of joy reported a lot

I definitely think mine was the opposite - far more get up and go and general day to day contentment - it's not just weight loss related I felt this from the start and I had previously lost 3 stone on my own - I am so keen to hear if there are any other people out there who think it helped their general day to day state of mind?

It has definitely improved mine, I’m only in week 1 but since day 4 I feel like my anxiety has lifted and I feel much more positive in general. I almost have had some mild euphoric type feelings at times. Really hope it continues

My mood and energy levels are great at lower doses. However, when I moved up to 3.75 (I titrated upwards very slowly) my mood noticeably changed to a general state of ‘funk’ and I found it difficult to summon the energy to go to the gym. Reduced my next shot to 3.5 and all was right with the world again.

Overall I’d say yes but I put it down to eating much better food - food that nourishes me rather than food that’s terrible for me.
Loads of vitamins and freshness are vastly better for me than the carbfest i had been previously eating.
I have a lot more energy although have had periods on MJ where I was struggling to eat enough to fuel me adequately and as a result have had low energy. But that has always been short lived.
