Have been on Wegovy for 2 weeks, third jab tomorrow. I am SO cold. I know it’s been unseasonably cold for May but I am cold like February.

anyone else???

Yes it's a common side effect

FrothyCothy · 19/05/2026 21:52

Yep, for first two months I was freezing! Less so now, but am looking forward to a bit of heat over the next week or two!

HollyhockDays · 19/05/2026 21:52

Yes. It’s most odd. I invested in some Uniqlo layers!!

TheChosenTwo · 19/05/2026 21:53

I’ve been on MJ for 18 months and have basically been freezing the entire time. I’m just used to it now 😂 thermal long sleeves and thermal leggings under everything and a heated blanket in every room of the house. It all helps me!

Blondeshavemorefun · 19/05/2026 21:55

Always cold. I was a cold person anyway - now lost 7s of fat and blubber 😜 I’m bloody freezing

TipsyLaird · 19/05/2026 22:19

Yes, I’ve been cold since I started. Most odd as I was always boiling and made worse by all the extra weight. It was definitely the Mounjaro and not the weight loss as it was happening when I was still morbidly obese.

I have blankets everywhere, thermal layers, microwave heat pads, electric heated sheet on my bed, rechargeable hand warmers, wrist warmers, neck buffs, scarves, hat with ear flaps…. So many things! I am looking forward to the apparent heat wave next week where I might not be freezing for a while.

So, so cold. I begin to be comfortable at about 30 degrees now. Probably need to emigrate.

morbidcuriosity · 20/05/2026 08:37

Im always cold now.. still got my winter duvet on my bed. Heated throw in living room. Thermal long sleeve top worn most days.
I used to be a warm person but since MJ I am freezing.

HeidiLite · 20/05/2026 09:19

yes. But, but heatwave is coming and instead of sweaty red faced mess, I am now comfortable.

Diddlydoowap · 20/05/2026 12:17

Yes, coldness is my only side effect! I am losing weight (though slowly) but I would think the MJ was a placebo if I wasn't insanely cold all the time!

HappyWineDay · 20/05/2026 12:29

Always frozen. I've had to start wearing a tee shirt under my work shirt and i still end up wearing a fleece over that most of the time. As others have said, this heatwave can't come quick enough!

Friendlygingercat · 20/05/2026 12:44

I agree and there was a thread about this a few days ago with PP saying how cold it was in different parts of the UK. I have hypothyroidism and this is a classic symptom so I thought it was just me. Apparently not.

I had bed socks on last night

yellowduckieswalking · 20/05/2026 13:11

Yes! And as a Geordie it is very weird to wear a coat and scarf
i also sleep in socks now!

morbidcuriosity · 20/05/2026 13:18

Ha, yes to socks too. Also sleep in leggins now, I used to live in shorts and sleep in shorts..

HeidiLite · 20/05/2026 14:13

I lived in my oodie most of the winter.
But it's now my second slim summer and it's totally worth it! I was always a very sweaty person, even when slim, and MJ seems to have stopped that too. Can do a full intense cardio class or walk around in 35+ degrees, fresh as a daisy.

Onefairfish · 21/05/2026 16:35

Yes. Until today I was still wearing a t shirt and woolly jumper. I am not sure if it is MJ or weight loss.

morbidcuriosity · 21/05/2026 17:59

I just went for a walk along the sea front in a black t shirt.. the sun was warming me up , felt soo good..

purplecorkheart · 21/05/2026 18:34

I am so glad other people are saying this. Sorry I am not using injection but have lost a bit of weight recently and I am so so cold. Particularly my legs and feet.

JabbaJibba · 21/05/2026 20:50

I was in Greece 2 weeks ago, sleeping in a dressing gown and under 2 duvets, whilst my friend insisted it was warm enough for the air con. I was freezing!
