Not tolerating 5mg on Mounjaro

[Limon22]

Hi all,

After 8 weeks on 2.5mg, I coped very well and had zero side effects however suppression was dwindling so I moved to 5mg. I spent 2 weeks on 5mg and the gas, heartburn and sulphur burns were awful. So I took a break from Mounjaro for a week, then went back to 2.5mg for a week and yesterday took 5mg to see how I get on. Sulphur burbs, bad wind and heartburn and overall discomfort bad again. What do I do? I’m not in pain just bloated, uncomfortable and everything is repeating on me.

You could try counting clicks to give yourself a dose of 3.25mg, halfway between 2.5mg and 5mg. I did that for a couple of months before moving up to 5mg and it worked well for me.

This is a good idea. Is it 45 clicks on a 5mg for 3.75?

Yep, that's right.

What you really need to do is speak to your provider as they should be offering you support. Some people take peppermint oil, Omeprazole, various other self help remedies. I wouldn’t do anything without medical advice from the prescriber who should know about your general health etc
