Finally feeling the benefit 7.5mg Mounjaro

[Mittens67]

I was worrying that this wasn’t going to work for me having been on 2.5 and then 5mg without noticing anything different positive or negative at all but I am glad to say that from the first dose of 7.5mg I finally feel in control of my hunger.
Just posting this to encourage anyone else who felt they might as well have been injecting water and so were throwing their money away for the first couple of months.

Have you not had any of the side effects either?

@Sarahatherwitsend no side effects at all.

Hello @Mittens67
I’m so glad you posted this. I have questioned whether I was injecting water!

I started In January on 2.5 which I bought from Manual. It was expensive, so I switched to MedExpress. They would only give me a 2.5 pen as I didn’t have any proof of my first prescription. I am now halfway through my second pen and I haven’t had any suppression at all. No feeling of fullness. No stop to the food chatter. No side effects either.
I have even gained 1lb during this time as I can’t seem to stop eating.

I ordered my 5 pen last week but I am due to go on holiday and worried about side effects whilst I’m away. MedExpress have said they will let me order another 2.5 pen until after my holiday but I’m not sure what to do.

I was thinking that I must be the only one. I am aware that 2.5 is not technically a weight loss dose but everything I read suggests otherwise.
You have given me hope that it will kick in if I persevere - thanks

Needed to hear as I'm on W2 5mg and not feeling much
Nervous about which dose will work on me because I have a lot to lose, so I don't want to go too high, and have nothing further to move to if it starts wearing off

@Kangarude order a 5mg pen. If you decide you don’t want to move up to 5 straightaway just do 30 clicks instead of the full 60 and you’ll have injected 2.5mg.
You can then move up to 5mg when you come back from holiday. If you take two 2.5mg doses out of the 5 pen, you’ll get an extra dose without having to do the ‘bonus dose’ performance. The pen will last for five doses rather than four, it will still be within the timeframe for usage when you take the fifth dose and you won’t have spent as much money.

Thank you @igivein That’s really useful
