I have lost 10 pounds on Mounjaro over five months, slow progress, about two pounds a pen but happy with that. I am short, 5' 2'', and in my sixties, so don't burn a lot of calories. All fine until I went up to 10, then after a few days felt sick, dizzy, unable to eat.
Moved down to 9, but the same, actually fainted one day and the next day was out at lunch with a friend when I was literally sick at the table - not very, obviously, as nothing to come up (sorry, TMI). She was very understanding but I was mortified.
I was going to titrate down but now scared of injecting and have other stuff in my life going on so can't afford to be ill. This is Day 4 over my due date for injecting and not feeling ill/sick any more but still dizzy, so I am thinking it must be low blood sugar. I am doing a bit better at eating, taking vitamins and electrolytes, trying to stay well hydrated.
But I really want the M out of my body asap and effectively go cold turkey. The on line advice is to titrate down, but given by the suppliers so they would say that wouldn't they? I didn't have a huge appetite to start with and don't suffer with food noise, and don't really care about my weight any more (BMI 26), I just want to feel better.
So this is a long and unduly complicated way of asking if anyone has gone cold turkey and did it work for you or were there side effects?
