Switch back to Mounjaro?

I've been on the Shemed study so originally paid £99 for Mounjaro in February but due to price rises I moved to Wegovy in September. I've been a slow loser so have lost 2 1/2 stone since February and would like to lose another stone (currently 10 stone, 5'3", 62 yr old Female). I had to take a break from the Wegovy for two weeks as it really affected my mental health (really felt down, no motivation), and the losses have been so slow on Wegovy. Shemed quoted £229 for 5mg MJ but found £134 at Livewell. Shemed recommends either 2.5 or 5mg to start back on Mounjaro. Has anyone gone back on Mounjaro and at what strength? I appreciate that these questions have probably been answered, but it is tricky to find them! Many thanks for any thoughts/insights.

That's right, but want to make a decision soon so that it will only have been a two week break. I do actually have one more dose in my current WG pen but due to the side effects I was thinking about splitting the dose by counting the clicks, though I'd have to look this up to do it properly! But also might be best to forgo this dose, especially if I move to Mounjaro. I suppose I could go back to lower does of Wegovy, but it has not made me feel particularly good as it seems to have really slowed down my metabolism.

Hmm, stayed the same, little bit more hunger creeping back in but not majorly, though we are having pizza tonight so we will see!

Thank you...I do feel like I have better habits now, and have just planned a walk for on the way home, and are now going off to fill up my water bottle!

Weird, why have all these posts been deleted? I read them before they were deleted and couldn't see what was wrong with them...any ideas?
