Success with restarting Mounjaro after stopping Wegovy?

I started on MJ and was on the lowest dose for 2 months losing 13lbs and then price increase happened, so had to switch to Wegovy. On MJ, I had no side effects at all.

Switched to Wegovy and was on that for about 5 months but was so ill I had to stop taking it. Since then I have been diagnosed with a medical condition which affects my mobility so ended up putting all my weight back on. I currently weigh 3lbs less than I did when I started MJ.

I'm going to give MJ another try and have a planned timetable for slow minimal exercise.

Anyone had any success stories after stopping and starting again? I'm a bit apprehensive but determined this time.

I was on mj for just over a year then switched to wegovy 1.7mg for maintenance, from 10mg mj, for 3 months, it also made me very ill - inflammation, muscle pain, ibs symptoms, bloating, weight gain 3lbs, lots of carb and sugar cravings.
Went back to mj 7.5mg, felt really strong, lost 6lbs, 3lbs of that in 2 days!
Now at 5mg, yes it works fine, you may need a higher dose equivalent to what you got upto on wegovy.

I've been off the WLI for 6 months now so will be starting MJ on the lowest dose. I'm really hoping it won't make me ill as I have lots of events over the next few months.
