Mounjaro October starters - Thread 8!

[HansHolbein]

Carry on losers!

Its everywhere. MM did a live last night and confirmed their new prices, boots have set theirs, oushk are still debating.

I honestly doubt there has been a drop in sales, so many people are on it and I think its more popular this year then ever before.

I have 2 x 15mg pens on the way (both have been approved and cost £157 & £159) and 1 x 12.5mg pen (£140) pending approval. I also have 2 full 15mg pens at home already and one that 3/4 full.

All 3 from pharmacies iv never used before so cheapest I could get. Pharamcy2U has sent me a £40 off voucher so debating to use that but I think it will be £165 even with the voucher.

I normally pay £145 via MM so the extra is annoying but nothing compared to sept increase!

Im hoping MM will have more stock at the end of the month like they normally do so I can order 1 last pen from them. Oushk confirmed people could buy 3 pens in 1 go yesterday but MM said they wont allow people to do that.

Had an email from Boots Online Doctor talking about the price hike but with no actual figures as yet. My 10mg pen costs me £206 now as I went with Boots as a known to me supplier and was OK with paying over the odds. However I will be looking for an alternative source if the price goes up to ridiculous levels. I am also looking at Wegovy. I have 3 stone to go and need the food noise suppression that WLI provide.

Has anyone had an email from Oushk with any information?
I don’t think I have and I don’t use Facebook.
yeah you’re probably right @Fizzleawayyy1 - i was just pondering about this only a few days ago that most people I know who started it last year are now off or tapered back down to a lower (cheaper) dose and I wondered if providers would just push the money up.
now I’ve heard Trump is behind it it’s obviously nothing to do with what I thought at all! And I do know lots of others who are currently on it too on higher doses.

@TheChosenTwo - I didn’t get the Oushk email either! However, someone has posted it on the Oushk app. So, you can see it on there. It was posted 3hrs ago under General Chat.

Oh thanks, I didn’t even know there was an app @Letshavetea1 !!

Hi all,

Sorry for the radio silence. I've read all of your lovely updates - I can't reply to them all today, I feel so deflated - think it's because I'm on my period! Been a busy couple of weeks, sons birthday, went away, had some annual leave. I'm on my own for a few days which is definitely needed!

The news about the price increase is terribly sad and frustrating. How are you all feeling? What are your plans? Thank god we all started when we did. It must be awful for those who have just started or are going up the doses. I don't know what to say. MN is getting on my tits again so I may need a break.

Been trying to get my 15 pen from MM (out of stock as usual) and saw just now that they will be going up to £271 per pen from 1st sept. That’s a BIG increase. I don’t think I can afford almost £300 per month.

Does anyone know where 15s are in stock? I’m such a slow loser that I’m still only
half way after almost 10 months. I’ve still got another 2 stone to go before I even get to a healthy BMI. I was hoping I could stay on these pens forever, the mental weight that has been lifted has been the most revolutionary change for me. I could scrape the £150ish a month but I can’t afford double. I would like to try to get as many pens as I can before sept 1st and then stop when I’m out of them. Devastating.

I'm glad we're talking about the £ increases. I've placed an order today for what I hope will be my final pen, not sure if it will materialise given the panic buying going on. I've decided to use a 10mg pen to slowly titrate down to 2.5mg and extend the injection period to every 10days. I'm aware of the risks by going over the 30 days as per the med rules. I've done all the click calculations and won't be reusing needles.

I'm currently at my first proper goal weight of 10st7, really pleased with this. I'm a curvy hourglass size 12-14, never been a size medium since my teens. I'm aiming to try for a new goal weight of 9st7.

This summer has been much more enjoyable being 3st lighter. I have been drinking alcohol whilst losing weight, a bad weekend habit but have decided to ditch it completely after it making me very ill.

@HansHolbein that happens with MN. I've been here for almost 20yrs under a few names, I see the same arguments in a cyclical manner. Some posters are just angry little trolls. Take it easy and have a break if you need to xx

I’m going through all the pharmacies I have an account with. Oushk now out of stock for 15mg pens 😢

@fourquenelles my husband has just mentioned the idea of swapping to another WLI like wegovy. It’s made me think a) what are the prices like and b) I wonder if it would kick start my weight loss again. I’m stalled with MJ on 15mg, I really feel like I’ve become tolerant to it. So maybe another drug would give my body a kick?

I ordered my 2 x 10mg from Oushk. I didn't want 3 because I do want to taper down as it zaps my energy. Can you name where you got yours from? The ones that let you sign up? It's good they approved it because lots have sold put already esp the higher doses.
5 pens at high doses should keep you going a while. Are you wanting to stay on? Will you switch to wegovy?

Oushk were out of 15mg and 12.5mg by yesterday 6.30pm when I tried to order them grr! I totally missed the palava as I was at work. Lucky I have a 15 in fridge and 2 x 10s on way.
@TheChosenTwo yes I've had several emails from oushk yesterday about price rises and today about switching to wegovy etc. My friend who is with medexpress has heard nothing about it! No emails nothing. Just told her this afternoon. The Family Chemist sent emails yesterday too and they're all out of stock completely!

I got an email from Medexpress (the only email from any pharmacy) about the price rises. Not used them since Feb.

Oh wow @Histoscientist I’ve still had no emails from them at all (well to be fair I haven’t checked in a couple of hours, I’m not due to reorder for a couple of weeks and just want one pen not more than that, was going to wait until the drama had settled down but I’ve so far only heard about the price increases on MN and a couple of people
i follow on Instagram so had no advanced heads up!

Are you signed up for their newsletter? I had to reregister only a few months ago, they did ask people to do it as we're changing systems or something like that! Also if you are on their fbook group it's all on there incl posts from Hira and her fbook live yesterday evening about it and on Circle

Iv never been with Oushk and knew they were out of 12.5 and 15 so didn't get it from them.

I ordered from Pharmacy2U - 15mg - who I have used before, that one is pending consultation.
BOLT - 12.5mg - had a email to say delivery will be 1-2 weeks but its still pending approval.
YourPharmacy - Approved and 'preparing dispatch'
PillSorted - Approved withing half hour and due to be delivered tomorrow.

Iv never used BOLT, YourPharmacy or Pillsorted before.

I think i have enough to see me for about 7-8 months if they all get approved... I'm hoping to be at goal within 2 months and will use the rest to taper down.

I did read on a thread that one of the pharmacies has said Eli lily has stopped sending any stock until sept to the pharmacies.
Hoe true that is I dont know.

Pillsorted are great, used them twice, super quick processing but they upped their prices a fair bit end of last year and then I was dropping close to 30 so moved to oushk for maintenance. Good luck, hope they all turn up ok!

Pill sorted have been good, I placed the order and within 20 minutes they had approved it!
Its coming today too with a time slot so its been really quick.

YourPharmacy has been quick but I had a notification last night at 8pm to say shipped so I dont know if that will arrive today or Monday!! There isn't a tracking button. I have a wedding to attend today and really dont want it to be sat out all night either if it gets delivered in the afternoon after I'm gone.

It may give you a kick to restart, some pharmacies are recommending the switch. I wont rule it out when I'm out of MJ.

I dont blame you taking a break, I pretty much stick to this thread only now, normally I dont even venture into the weight loss Injection bit as people are twats but I am at the moment to look at the big increase threads.

Hope you feel better soon and enjoy your time on your own.

@lickycat Read this on another thread

Can I switch from Mounjaro to Wegovy?
Yes, you can safely switch from Mounjaro to Wegovy. We're currently updating our guidelines surrounding this switch and we'll keep you updated.

Sorry I cant edit my post above to add this pic, Oushk have said this regarding switching.
