Reducing from 15mg to 10mg mounjaro

I have been at goal weight for a few months now and felt it was time to reduce my dose. I had a bit of a stockpile of 15mg so thought I would use those then go on to 10mg which I have ordered for the last 2 months.

I currently have 1 dose of 15mg left and then 2 10mg pens in the fridge.

I’m starting to regret this as 15mg just doesn’t seem to have the same effect on me, I am not getting the same level of suppression and really having to put the effort in just to maintain. I’m worried that going down to 10mg will cause me to gain. I went for 10 rather then 12.5 as the 12.5 was same as 15 cost wise and one of the reasons for wanting to reduce was cost.

Anyone had any experience of this? And what was is like dropping doses?

I would give it a try and see how you feel, I have been reducing my dose down for several months now as I’m in maintenance, I was at 10 but I’m now down to 5, I found the higher does started to give me gastric side effects first happened on 10, then again after 2 months on 7.5 same thing happened again, so I felt going down was needed.
I don’t get the same amount of suppression but I don’t want that anyway, I feel like I’m still in control and I’m careful but now eat very health 80% of the time so don’t feel like I’m living on a diet.
I weigh myself every day, so I can tell if my weight is changing but so far it’s been pretty consistent, I do exercise more than I used to.
I’m hoping in the long run to get right down to micro dosing but intend to take it really slowly so expect to keep taking for at least another year.
I’m currently taking 5 out of a 7.5 pen as that’s what I had, if you tried your 10 and felt it wasn’t enough you could always take it closer together like ever 5 or 6 days instead of 7.
