Wegovy to Mounjaro

[TheWayOfTheWorld]

I’ve been on Wegovy since late 2023 and did brilliantly on it, getting down from 13 to 9 stone, but it’s not really working for me any more and I’m looking at switching to Mounjaro.

I’ve been on 2.4 for what seems like forever now and probably for the last 10-12 months the appetite suppression/reduction of food noise has been minimal. Despite best efforts I have put back on 1 stone. I’m just so hungry all the time and wake in the middle of the night with very painful “hunger pangs”.

I’m with Juniper who has said they can switch me to Mounjaro 10mg (so I don’t need to start again - although a bit worried about getting some of the more unpleasant symptoms that I suffered with in the early days).

Has anyone else made a similar switch and not regretted it? I know people say about being on WLI for life but there’s no point if they stop working…

Please don't start on 10mg, mj is a strong drug, try a lower one first especially if you haven't been on it before. Maybe try 5 or 7.5mg to get used to it

This is what I’m worried about! I’ve seen other people swapping being made to start on 2.5 - but then the prescriber should know what they are doing… I’m interested in hearing if anyone else has done this.

Have you considered going up to the new max dose of 7.2mg?

If I had to switch to Mj I would start on the lowest dose just in case it already makes a difference and to make Mj last as long as possible.

I didn’t know there was new max dose for Wegovy - I will investigate as it worked so well for me
