I have lost 3.5 stone since starting in July. Every time I have gone up a dose I have done it slowly in increments. However, 7mg for 2 weeks followed.by 7.5 mg and food noise is back and don't feel great.

I am thinking of going to 6 or 6.5 mg today. Anyone else done this or did you continue on dose/going up doses?

I have another 2 stone to lose....

3mg was the most I could tolerate. I've been taking Mounjaro since April last year. I tried taking 3.75mg and got explosive diarrhea and was really poorly for 5 days. I now take around 2.75mg per week so that I have suppression without too much queasiness

  1. Hardcore here

5 mg divided into 2.5 twice a week. When I took 5 mg at once, I was awake for three nights with incredible stomach pain and ate nothing.

I tried 2.5 for 4 weeks and didn’t use it again. I felt awful. I could hardly eat for a few days, threw up a few times and the heart burn was horrible. I did loose some weight but in a really unhealthy way.

Yes, I'd just stick to your comfortable dose if I were you. You were losing 1 - 2 lbs anyway, which is exactly what is recommended for healthy weight loss. No need to speed it up.

5mg worked consistently well for me!

Elliebird2 · 07/01/2026 16:27

5mg. 7.5mg was too strong and had awful side effects, tried 6.25mg and that was no better. Sticking to 5mg!

5mg worked consistently well for me!

I might as well have injected 5mg of water! 🤣

I wonder if they’ll ever release a higher/stronger dose. Probably not. But I’d take a 17.5 for sure!

4mg 🫣

How did you do that?

Apparently higher doses are being trialed 👀
