Mounjaro 2.5mg

[Bashitcrazy]

Is there anyone that has been able to reach target on 2.5mg? Like everyone else I’m trying to work out the best strategy.
I’m only 3 weeks in sadly, but have lost a significant amount of weight in that time which I am delighted about. I was planning to stay on 2.5mg for a while anyway because it has worked so well. And I am now wondering if I could reach target (another 3 stone) on 2.5mg alone - maybe pushing to 5mg if weight loss does really stall. Is

I lost 2 stone staying on 2.5mg. I found my level of suppression stayed the same, high!

I’ve been on 2.5mg for 24 weeks and lost 4 stone 2, I have no intention of moving up doses, I’ve been lucky it’s worked brilliantly for me from day 1

That’s really good to hear. I had ordered another month of 2.5mg anyway before all this kicked, and can hopefully place another order today which will keep me going for a little while.

I think most people only increase doses once suppression wears off. I've managed to get to my goal with a max dose of 5 mg, but I built up to that super slowly as well.

I lost 20kg on 2.5. I went from 75kg to 55kg (around 8 and a half stone). No side effects and I just lost around 1kg per week. I’ve now increased my dose slightly to about 3.25 to maintain suppression as I was getting properly hungry again and have stayed like this for around 3 months.
My prescriber just says to stay on the lowest dose that works for you - no need to increase if it’s working. In fact when I increased to 3.75 I felt very queasy and had to go back down.

I’m almost there. I’ve not ordered the next pen… I’m about 1kg from goal and suppression has been good. It’s beginning to wear off but I still actually feel sick if I eat certain things… made some homemade blackberry ripple ice cream yesterday. A taste was enough. It was lovely but I didn’t want it. Also still not wanting wine.

Sorry, I meant 14 weeks!

I was surprised at the number of people I’ve seen say they moved up every 4 weeks because their supplier told them they had to!

I will admit I was very confused when ordering my second pen becuase mine told me to move up if I wasn’t having negative side effects, which I wasn’t, but didn’t in the end becuase of the price. Glad I stuck with it, if the prices are really going to go up, the 2.5 will be the only affordable option for me anyway 😫

I'd definitely say: Play it by ear and listen to your body.

I do wonder how many people will order 5 mg and count clicks to use half doses for 8 weeks instead once the price goes up. I am not recommending it, but it seems logical that more people will start to play around with doses once the price goes nuts.

I have been on it for 9 months at 2.5mg. I have lost over 6 stone. I still get hungry and I don’t have full suppression which I like because it makes me feel more on co too of managing my diet. I do eat very well now though. Around 1500/1600 calories a day with around 3 more stone to lose.

I’ve just done jab 6 on 2.5mg and am pondering whether to order a 2.5 or a 5 next. I’ve already lost 8kg (another 20kg to go!) and I have no side effects on 2.5 but I am starting to notice the suppression fading slightly quicker so probably need to move up. At week 3 I felt like I could stay on 2.5 forever!

I lost 5.5 stone on no higher than 3.75, so halfway between 2.5 and 5. My husband has never got higher than 5 and has lost more than 8 stone.

I've lost 3 stone on 2.5mg. No intentions of ever moving up figured the lower I stay the easier it'll be to maintain

I'm 20 weeks in on 2.5mg and have lost 45lbs in this time. I'm not planning on going up at all as I still feel it's working really well as loss is average 1.5-2lb a week.

Stay as long as you can on the lowest dose and trust it.

I did 10 weeks at 2.5 and have now done 11 weeks at 3.75 so far lost 22.4kg, suppression is comfortable I have to think about what I am doing so part me and part the jab. I have 10kg roughly left to go.

I’ll stay as low as is possible whilst making progress.
