Back to MJ

I swapped to Wegovy from MJ due to cost and I’ve never really felt it helped. I’ve been tapering off but I’m putting weight back on. Currently on 1mg Wegovy and ME have said I can go to 5mg. Has anyone noticed a difference going back to MJ?

My plan is to try and do 3/4 months and really focus more on getting myself to a better plan with eating as it’s just all over the place at the money. I’ve gone from BMI of 41 to 27, now 28. I want to lose about 10kg

I’ve never tried wegovy but I did MJ last year, stopped in September the started again in Feb this year as I had gained nearly 10lbs … no difference really, still as effective and since Feb I’ve lost nearly 10lbs that I gained.

The only thing I found I was having anxiety on jab day only which I didn’t have last time, but not sure if that was low blood sugar or me being overly anxious about starting again.

Ive started micro dosing at 1.25mg and still getting surpession but with zero side affects.

I had to stop MJ in Nov due to cancer diagnosis, surgery and treatment and have eaten and drunk myself silly with stress since (unable to exercise) have excelled myself with 10kg gain in 4 months. Planning to start again today on 2.5 (from a 10mg pen)

I went to wegovy for 3 months from 10m mj to 1.7mg which worked really well for 2 months then I was hungry all the time, bloated, ibs symptoms, abdominal pain from ibs, constipation from day 1 on wegovy, and craving carbs and junk food, gained 2.5lbs in the last month, had lost 3lbs on first month on wegovy to get to 9st then was on a planned diet break. Went back to mj 7.5mg 6 weeks ago, lost 6lbs in the first month including 3lbs in first 3 days which would have been water retention and all side effects gone. What I did notice was 7.5mg felt stronger suppression and satiety. Done a month on it then started 5mg last week. I am at bmi 22.0 right now and have needed to drop from 15mg from Sept 25 when I hit bmi 25 because the doses were too strong. Glad I went back to mj as it controls my blood sugars and cravings and as a previous untreated prediabetic and mild diabetic, I was worried about it when I went to wegovy and my symptoms returned.

ME would only let me go back on 5mg. MJ to start so not sure if that is even going to make a difference. The suppression on wegovy has just done and I’m hungry and wanted to snack all the time!

Same boat. Wegovy didn't work for me and made me horribly nauseous and severe acid so just back on Mounjaro- very difficult decision due to cost. 5mg for me too.

@LilyBunch25 did it help going back on MJ? I’ve just taken my first dose today so not sure how it’s going to go.

Yes only been back on a week but the suppression has kicked back in already and my stomach is much better
