How did you find 5mg on mounjaro

[Fatmumslim01]

As title says really.

Trying to decide whether to stick with 2.5, go up to 3.75 or go up to 5mg.

I'm currently on 2.5 and I've just got the bonus dose left.

I've had no side effects at all.
Excellent suppression in first week, not so much 2nd 3rd 4th week, although I do get full quicker.
My mental health has improved dramatically not that it was bad or anything but I'm just so much less anxious and feel my head is less cluttered

Weight loss was 3 pounds, then 3 pounds then 2 pound so 8 pound in 3 weeks. Starting BMI was 39.6

What were your experiences going up to 5 or 3.75?

I've done 3 doses on 5mg. I love it. I had no side effects on 2.5 and still no sides effects on 5. The only thing I've noticed is the appetite suppression has increased a fair bit. So I struggle first half of the week. I make up for it towards the end though as do a weekly average.

I did 16 weeks on 2.5 before moving up to 5 😊

Going up to 5mg was horrible for me. I was fine on 2.5 but suppression wasn't huge so went up after the advised 4 weeks. I felt instantly nauseous and it was persistent. I kept getting dizzy spells. However, after 4 weeks I did a 3.75 dose and then another, then up to 5 again. This time isn't so bad but I'll be going to 7.5mg next week. I hear ALOT that the jump from 2.5 to 5 is rutal because it's the only time you double the dose and that alot of people feel better one up to 7.5mg.

I loved 5!! Stayed on it for 20 weeks.

I was hungrier, had more food noise and ate more in my first and second week on the 5mg. I lost/gained the same four pounds for 10 days then lost about .8 a pound a day for straight 3 days while eating more. I’m guessing it’s all part of the body adjusting to the higher dose. My side effects were I felt tingly in my chest and arms the first week and second in the first 48hrs after I jabbed. Felt nausea twice for about 30 min eating the same food as before and one of my ankles is swelling a bit on/off but doesn’t hurt when I walk.

I stayed on 2.5 for months with good weight loss, went up to 3.75 then stopped for few months. Started back on 2.5 for 4 weeks then 3.75 for 2 on 5 now, bit of indigestion weight loss continuing only got about 9 pounds to lose now. Going to finish last 5 mg pen I have then might start to taper rose down. I think as long as you eating enough healthy food and staying away from lots of junk and drinking water should be ok ? That’s what has helped me. I had 3 day awful stomach issues but that was after very fatty meal I ate far too quickly months ago
