A month of mounjaro and nothing is happening

[batterypark]

Just done my fourth 2.5 injection and I’ve had no appetite suppression at all since I started. I get the nasty taste in my mouth so I know I’ve injected properly. I tried Ozempic when it was available and that worked for me but I can’t get it now. I’ve not lost any weight and my appetite is the same. If anyone else has experienced this does it get better on the next dose? My overeating is linked to ADHD but I’m not on any medication for that. Would appreciate any advice.

Something to consider also is if you've been on GLP-1's before (which is sounds as if you have), the smaller doses don't always have that big effect they sometimes do when you've never used one before. This is something noted often on the more US-centric boards on reddit (where they've had them longer so this situations has come up more frequently)

I wouldn't lose hope. Fingers crossed 😁

Give it a few months OP.

I didn't end up losing anything on my first month on 2.5mg, I had some suppression but not sure how much of that was a placebo effect. I lost 1lb the first week that I put back on in the second week and then stayed the same. It was so disheartening reading about the many other people who started the same time as me having these amazing losses.

I then started on 5mg at the start of February and the suppression really hit. I made sure to track all my calories properly (the first month was over Christmas so tracking wasn't a priority) and I've been consistent on the gym. I've lost 15lbs so far which I'm so happy with. I've just ordered my third 5mg pen because I'm happy with the suppression I'm getting and the rate of weight loss I'm experiencing. Don't feel too down just yet!

@batterypark that sounds like the 5mg is working better for you, so hopefully you will start to see effect in terms of weight loss.

I lost a stone in the first month of 2.5 as well without massively changing much at all.
As the pp says inflammation and water weight plays a part. I’m sure I didn’t lose a stone of fat in that time

The loss slowed down after that initial month to about 1-2lbs a week roughly.

We’re all different.
