2.5 Mounjaro

[Gib2A]

last week was my 6th Mounjaro injection and have been happily suppressed on 2.5 so I bought another 2.5 pen, the last 2 days I’ve had no suppression at all and I’m not just feeling hunger pangs I’m feeling so hungry on the hour every hour it’s awful, I don’t under eat calorie wise still in a decent deficit and max out my protein macro but now I have a full months 2.5 pen and can’t afford to buy another at 5 so what am I to do??

You will have days where you are hungry, on every dose. Suppression is a side effect not the main purpose of the jab and side effects come and go.

I'm on 7.5mg and I'm also having a hungry couple of days. I see it as a chance to practice some control and try to find ways to deal with the hunger and food noise. It's a chance to work on my mindset about food, while knowing I have the support of Mounjaro. One day I will have to stop taking it so it's a way of preparing myself for a time without it.

That does seem hard - can you fast in the mornings when it’s easier and then eat bigger meals later on with more fibre and protein?
When you can afford the next pen you could titrate so you have 3.75 as a stepping stone to the 5mg pen.

Eat little and often, eat more protein and drink more water. 2.5mg only lasted 2 weeks for me! Contact your provider because mine advised me to take my 10mg every 5 days when I had 2 doses left amd suppression wore off.
