Anyone else got a B12 deficiency using these?

Your question isn’t clearly worded.

Do you mean has anybody with a b12 deficiency started using weight loss injections or do you mean has anyone found that their weight loss injections caused a b12 deficiency?

I had a pre existing deficiency, and am prescribed b12. It does not impact on my mounjaro use nor the mounjaro on the deficiency.

After a year on Mounjaro, I have recently started on B12 injections but I believe the deficiency has been there for a long time as I had the symptoms before which I put down to niggles of morbid obesity and menopause but they remained/continued to deteriorate as I lost the weight. Mine was most likely caused by 8 years of daily omeprazole.

Lots of changes going on with weight loss for me requiring managing - losing weight means I have also had to recently start HRT, I have started B12 injections, but I have also come off high blood pressure meds and omeprazole, I now have low blood pressure, so my body is going through a lot. All part of the healing process after decades of obesity and medication, none of which I think has directly been caused by Mounjaro.

That’s interesting, I started in September but haven’t taken it for a few months now, and latest bloods show severe B12 deficiency, I guess I’m unsure if it’s an absorption issue or just a temporary issue caused by the mounjaro.
