Restarted Mounjaro 2.5mg and within 24 hours I’ve got nausea, reflux and feel absolutely exhausted.
One of the main reasons I’m taking it is because it switches off the alcohol cravings, but I’m wondering if the side effects are worth it.
Has anyone found the side effects improved after the first week or two? Or had success dropping to 1.25mg?

Following. I was on 5 but then started getting a lot of side effects so have been cutting back and am planning to try 1.25 now.

I dropped down to 1.25 mg for 3 weeks after I had a bad bout of D&V and couldn’t face injecting 2.5 again. Worked well over those 3 weeks so I went back up to 2.5 when I felt ready.

I do 2mg every 5 days. It works for me.

I did 1.25 for the first month and still lost weight. I built up slowly to 2.5.
