Anyone else wish there was a higher dose than 15mg?

I just feel that it’s no longer cutting it for me. I could go out any night of the week and comfortably manage a 3 course meal! I continue to take it because it is absolutely better than the alternative - which is to take nothing - but the suppression could be better. I still have food on the brain, particularly since Christmas. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not tanking the family packs of Revels, and in fact am making healthy-ish choices. But probably eating too much. I find myself shying away from the scales, whereas would weigh weekly before Christmas (it appears to have been a turning point in my Mounjaro journey!).
Anyone else?

I wish there was a higher dose too.

I felt no effect at all until 7.5mg, then became tolerant to all lower doses easily, moving up every month or so and still never had major suppression, but also never had side effects.

It has definitely helped me lose a lot of weight, with some effort on my part, but I think for some of us in this position a higher dose would be appropriate.

I know someone who uses up whatever extra is left in the pen when he takes the bonus dose (which he says is then about 17mg) and that gives him his best suppression.

Please note I am not advising anybody to exceed the prescribed dose and in fact would not do it myself without medical approval but my friend’s experience seems to work for him.
