Mounjaro to Wegovy

Due to the changes to the cost, I’m giving some thought to switching Mounjaro to Wegovy. Has anyone else done the same? How did you find it?

I’ve found Mounjaro very effective, I’ve lost 8 stone and am no longer diabetic or require treatment for sleep apnoea, and would rather continue as I am, but the cost might be too much. I’ve had advice from my prescriber, and my GP, but just interested in real life experiences.

Thanks for posting this as I'm also interested in hearing from others who've switched. I just went to re-order MJ but the cost is £250 and the provider is offering Wegovy at £150. I'm nearly at my goal weight so will be shortly looking to maintain.

I’ve got one last 10mg jab of MJ and then will be moving to 1mg wegovy.

Im nervous as I’ve lost really well on MJ (8 stone since February) and my fibromyalgia and Hidradenitis suppurativa have improved massively.

Im just praying it continues in the same vein with wegovy

Ive lost 5 stone on mounjaro (10mg) and have this morning done my first jab of wegovy (they made me start on 0.25 lowest dose though)

I'm at target so hoping this will give me enough suppression to maintain rather than lose

I did my first dose of wegovy yesterday (0.5mg) after 2 months of 5mg MJ. I've lost 2.5 stone on MJ and have 1 more stone to go.

So far, no side effects, good suppression, all fine :)

Good luck to you.

I switched too, from mj 15mg to Wegovy 1mg, no issues since my first dose so far, went with Cuva Health, found them quite cheap with really quick delivery.

HI, I know this is an old thread but how did you all get along switching from MJ to Wegovy? I need to order this week and i'm in two minds

Littlebitpsycho · 31/01/2026 08:49

@takingthepissoutofmeits been okay for me, however it simply just isn't as good as mounjaro. I'm on 1mg of wegovy and I am maintaining (i was already at target) but I do have to work at it - on mounjaro I just didn't think about food at all and it was easy. Can't go back to mounjaro as its too expensive and probably wouldn't be prescribed it again anyway.

I switched from 10mg of MJ to 1.0 of WG and have just had my 3rd dose - the suppression isn't as strong and the food noise is back but I seem to be maintaining weight. I'm going to go up to 1.7 and see how that feels.

No other side effects though.
