Mounjaro journey

[Fiftieslady]

Hi all, started using mounjaro in Jan to lose weight as have a bmi over 34. I had really good weight 11ib loss on 2.5mg first month and then slowed down second month on 5mg to 2-3 ilbs. Now moving third month onto 7.5mg.
I’ve experienced some increased tiredness and anxiety. Have you experienced worse side effects as the dose increases or any slows in weight loss along the way? Any comments or tips appreciated.

Stop posting codes. It’s not even the best price. You’re just grifting

@Fiftieslady I think slow downs in weight loss are fairly common, and I have seen on the boards here people discussing tiredness and anxiety at various points. So I think these things can definitely come and go.

Note that the post I was replying to has since been removed - it was definitely not aimed at the OP.

Thanks for your reply, helpful to hear that others are suffering the same that aren’t listed as the average as side effects. Would like to hear from others about upping to 7.5 mg and whether their anxiety and tiredness got worse and how they overcame them.

I am just part way through 5mg. I had thought I'd lose more on 5 but it doesn't seem that way. I'm struggling with tiredness and nausea though so didn't want to tempt fate and go up to 7.5 so doing another 5. I think my side effects have increased each time I go up a dose but I'm hoping adjust eventually!

Good luck. I'm not sure about the anxiety. Maybe speak to your provider if it's bad or drop back to 5 if its worse?

My weight loss has definitely slowed and is now down to about half a pound a week. I've done 3 months on 5 and just about to move up to 7.5

I am six months in and have only just gone up to the full 5mg in the last two weeks. My recommendation to keep all side effects to a minimum is to start at 2.5, stay as long as possible and only go up by counting clicks in small increments. Supression has remained excellent apart from two weeks ago , and in response I went from 4.75mg to 5mg which has given me back the supression. Could not imagine having gone up each month and being on 15mg with associated side effects.

Have lost over 6st.
