I did 4 weeks of 2.5mg and by the end wasn't feeling any effect in terms of appetite suppression so was advised to go up to 5mg.

I'm on day 5 after the first 5mg jab and I've got constant lower tummy pain. It varies in how painful it is, it's never severe but just never goes away completely. I've also had constipation.

I've upped my water intake but just wondered if anyone else has experienced this and does it go away after a few weeks on the new dose? It's making me worry about doing the next jab in case it gets worse.

It could be the constipation that is causing the pain and discomfort. I suffered quite badly even before Mounjaro due to other medication but MJ made it significantly worse. Taking a magnesium citrate supplement daily has worked for me.
