Stop/start on mounjaro - where to get 7.5 prescribed

I’ve been taking MJ since March. Moved up the doses and by early Sept I started my first 10mg. It made me horrible nauseous and I had been lucky up to that point as I hadn’t had many side effects except a bit of constipation. I did four shots of 10mg and each week was terrible. I spoke to my prescriber and also my GP as at one point I got an uncomfortable pain in my side. They agreed I should have a week off then go down a dose. I had the week off and felt much better for it. I had a 10mg pen (bought before the price increase) so took half doses of this for the last few weeks. It hasn’t made me sick but it hasn’t surprised my appetite either. I think 7.5 is my sweet spot but I’ve not now had a prescription since August. Will anyone prescribe me 7.5? My weight has hovered around the same place since August - up to that point I had lost three stone. But now I’m finding myself reverting to pre-MJ habits - chocolate, snacking, bingeing. Any advice? Thank you!

I should mention that I also started HRT (Lenzetto and cyclogest) along with sertraline in early July.

Unfortunately you will have to start on 2.5mg again. As its been more then 2 weeks since last injection

You’ll have to start on 2.5mg. Unless you can demonstrate you bought enough pens before the price rise that you took last week.

I would email Swift and explain what you wrote here - that you took 5mg this week, and see what they will prescribe.
