Want to start tapering off but do I switch to wegovy

[jodesxx]

I’ve lost 26kg since Xmas but realistically have 15kg more to go to get to BMI 25. As I’m thinking I want to have another baby thr latter part of next year (would be IVF guaranteed so timings are quite precise) then I need to be off my March/April regardless really. I have 3 15mg pens left which will take me to early December but I’m not sure whether to switch to wegovy as need to order next pen as it’s been 4 weeks since I ordered now or just start the coming off process so order 12.5 or 10?

Would the drop from 15 to 10 be too much?

If I swapped to Wegovy would I need to do the highest dose first and then titrate down?

Anyone?

Hi, I think most pharmacies that do maintenance swap you over to an equivalent dose on Wegovy. I've just swapped to Wegovy and still have a stone to go and then will do maintenance. Please let us know how you get on, I wish you success and fabulousness.

Why do you have to order another pen if you have a few? Can’t you just inform your prescriber that you have several pens by sending them a photo of them and update your weight loss with them? You can with most online pharmacies now I think?

If you’ve been using Mounjaro since Christmas and only require further medication to see you through the first few months of 2026, then I would personally not want to switch to a different medication. Mj clearly has been working for you and you don’t know whether Wegovy would a) work for you, or b) give you unpleasant side effects.

If it was me, for the sake of 3 months I'd stick with MJ.
