Sorry if this has been asked a million times. I’m quite new to this. One a month on 2.5 and on day 6 of 5mg. Today i feel horrendous. Freezing, boiling, sick, cramps tired etc. is that normal? I feel like it’s strange on the 6th day of an increase?

There are bugs going round currently, we've had a few off sick at work so it could be that. Drink plenty of water and take vitamins if you have any.

Your body is adjusting. It will go away. I had terrible bone pain for over a week, so much so I almost quit. Then I stacked up on minerals every day and all of it went away.

I always recommend people to follow the basic principles with Mounjaro:

  • Very important to drink plenty of water (3-4L per day) as M kind of dehydrates you a bit.
  • M can deplete B12 and gut bacteria. I always tell people to stack up on B12, trace minerals (in liquid form) pro-biotics, electrolytes. When these values are good people have very few side effects, in general.
  • If you get acid reflux (very common) it indicates your gut bacteria is out of synch; I always recomend probiotics for 2 weeks, others prefer to solve it with alka selzer or peppermint tea.
  • Keep portions smaller per serving (i.ex. like Waitrose ready-made meal sizes) rather than big portions. If you still have cravings, just eat smaller portions some 2-3 hours apart. Some people get very sick and throw up if they overeat on M (or if they have alcohol) since the entire digestion slows down, and the pancreas can get overwhelmed if you keep filling up when it hasn't processed what was already added previously.
  • Bear in mind that if you take meds, M can make the dose feel higher... that's related to the digestion slowing down.

No I think you have an unrelated illness
