Restart Mounjaro

[NewMumSoon1]

Hello.. just wondering if anyone has been on mounjaro long term and stopped to reset and start again?

I started in September last year and am now up to 15mg but my losses are non existent now. I’m just plateaued and have only lost 7lb since January.

i read it takes around a month to leave your system. I’m wondering if I stopped for a month and restarted at 2.5mg it would have a new effect as if I’d never taken it before?

Sorry if this doesn’t quite make sense!

A few have done this and found no suppression or control over food noise or hunger until very high doses after a break. Have you contacted your provider? Some recommend evey 5 days when get to a high dose that wears off, they did with me when I had 2 weeks of 10mg left and it worked.

How much do you have left to lose?

I think you just have to ride out a plateau. Your body's probably doing it for a reason. You might find you're losing inches instead of pounds right now, or your body's dealing with loose skin.

Those who have had to stop and have tried it again have found it less effective - your body has developed a tolerance so especially at the lower doses you’d likely see no impact.

there’s also some evidence that it’s less effective after two years of continuous use.

better to go back to basics - what’s your TDEE, what are you consuming? Can you decrease intake or increase your burn rate?
