Hi,
I have been on Mounjaro for a few months and have just under 2 pens left at 5mg. I really cannot afford the 7.5mg and 5mg is pushing it. I think I’d try wegovy but all I can see on here are pretty negative reviews. Is there anyone having a good time on wegovy ? I have another 3 stone to lose and last year I was prediabetic (not at recent blood test, as had watched my diet and lost weight yay). Any positive experiences out there? Thanks x

I went from Mounjaro to Wegovy due to costs

I have been using Wegovy for 3 weeks now 0.5mg. I haven't had many side effects. Some nausea and a bit of constipation. My food suppression is very good. No food noise.
I have found it no difference to being on Mounjaro. Weight is coming off slowly.

I don't have any negative issues with Wegovy at all.

Thank you so much for responding. I am glad to hear it is working out for you. Gives me a bit of hope going forward.

I switched because of the cost, I'm 2 pens in on wegovy and noticed I'm slightly more constipated. I'm on a low maintenance dose now.

I started on that and honestly it wasn’t anywhere near as good as MJ. I lost a stone in 6 months, was constipated and had hair loss. I wouldn’t go back to it even if it’s half the price, it would be a false economy for me. I’ve seen loads on tiktok swapping back to Mounjaro now.

Yep. I love it. Lost nearly 2 stone.

I've been on it from the start...never tried mj....I've lost just over two stone. Very few side effects except from constipation

I've gone from mj to wegovy.

On week 2 now and suppression is good. Week 1 I felt a bit more hungry. Still losing though.

I switched from mono 5mg t Wegovy but didn't have any loss over 2 months. Have switched back t mono and started losing within a day or two. Everyone is different tho.

A few ladies at work have done really well on Wegovy and kept the weight off when they stopped. I have come of MJ about 2 months ago because side effects but will be ordering W to help a bit over the Christmas period.

I was on Mj for a month and lost 8lbs would have been more but had a holiday in week 3 so week 4 was getting that off. Moved to wegovy did 3 weeks on 0.25 lost nothing moved to 0.5 im on week 3 and lost nothing im sticking to my deficit and my shape is changing but zero results on the scales
