Took first dose of 5mg Mounjaro

[EchoNova]

I think I may have jumped the gun ordering the 5mg and maybe should have stayed on 2.5mg. I had only a 1lb loss on week 3 of 2.5mg so ordered the 5 mg. I injected the 5 mg this morning and then had a sneaky weigh in (official day is tomorrow) and I've lost 4.5lbs in week 4 of 2.5. Now I have noticed I have been more hungrier for the last couple of days and think will power has been keeping me on track so maybe that was a sign to move up anyway.

On another note - anyone have positive 5mg stories? all I'm seeing is people having horrendous SE on 5mg and not losing any weight.

Well done on your loss so far!

I LOVED 5!! Stayed on it for 20 weeks and only moved up as a knee jerk reaction to the reappearance of the dreaded food noise 😫 I had a little bloating and a few days of diarrhoea (think it was from bad food choices/wine!) in the early days but plain sailing after that. Long term plan is to (hopefully) maintain on 5!!

That is so good to hear! All the nightmare stories I've seen gave me anxiety.... and I was imagining symptoms already, even thoug I only jabbed an hour ago!

I felt the same. Just done my 2nd dose of 5ml. Last week i felt really nauseous and tired for 2 days post injection and was regretting my life choices after ‘only losing’ 1kg last week. Sometimes i need to give my head a wobble! I’ve lost 7kg in 5 weeks so I just need to get out my own head and deal with the SE🤣

I’m on week 2 of 5mg and am
much happier than when I was on 2.5, fewer SE and feel like food choices are easier, feel hungry but have good food suppression in that I feel full quickly so my portions are smaller but I am aware when I need to eat.

I’m hoping this lasts.

I was terrified about moving up to 5mg after hearing all the horror stories! It was absolutely fine though - no side effects at all. First two weeks gave good suppression but then the food noise returned so I went up to 7.5mg (which has also been side-effect free!).

Please don’t worry! As the Reddit forum says, people are far more likely to post about having bad effects than they are to post about having no problems 🙂

I've been on 5mg for three months. No side effects apart from a bit of constipation, which I also had on 2.5mg, and consistent losses of 1/2 lb to 1lb a week.
