Mounjaro not working - alternatives?

[mamabeeboo]

I've got several stone to lose and hoped MJ would be the thing that works.

Now first jab 7.5mg taken 2 days ago and I've felt nothing and I'm sat feeling quite peckish after eating dinner,trying to keep busy.

I wonder if MJ doesn't work for me or my body has gotten used to it too quickly..? Does anyone have any experience or know anyone who moved to another medication away from MJ?

I can only see examples of people moving from one medication on to MJ but not the other way around.

I started in September. It only really started working for me when I moved up to 12.5. Lots of people don’t get any suppression on 7.5. Trust the process and keep going up the doses.

I think people are getting disheartened when they read others have lost weight on 2.5mg.
It might be the mounjaro working for them or could be placebo given this is not a therapeutic dose.
Whilst 5mg is a therapeutic dose in theory, it doesn’t work for everybody. Ditto 7.5mg.
The fact that the dose range goes up to 15mg shows that this is needed for some people to get the desired effect.
At 7.5mg you are only half way through the doses and only on the first of those half way doses.
You need to stick with it and move up till you find a dose which works for you.
If you get to 15mg for a month and it still hasn’t worked that is the time to try something else.

True, thank you!

Did you actually start on 7.5 for your first jab?

What was your experience like on 2.5 and 5?

It usually kicks in fully on the third day for me, until my third jab of 10mg and it's more long lasting now with suppression. My jab is due tomorrow lunchtime and I'm still full. It may just take time or you may need a higher dose for effectiveness
