is anyone else Itching on Monjaro

[wheresthesnowgone]

I've been getting itchy patches, no rash or bites to be seen, and wondered whether anyone else on manjaro has experienced this. I've only noticed it in the last few months. I started on 2.5mg in December, 5 mg in February, and 7.5mg in July. Thinking back, I'd say the itching started around the time I went on 7.5 mg and that's also round the time the very hot dry weather kicked in , so I thought that could be the reason for itching.

Itchy patches are on hands, ankle / lower leg, back and belly.

Itching could be completely unrelated / coincidence but I thought I'd check to see if anyone else is experiencing this on Monjaro. According to AI itching is a known side effect, previously I was only watching out for gut related issues like diarrhoea etc. I've also been getting hiccups.

Yes, I have the same. I am on the 7.5g dose and have itchy spots on my mid-back and on my left foot near my ankle. The only thing that stops it is putting moisturising cream or oil on the affected places.

I’ve had some random itching while using Wegovy, although mine has been fairly mild and I wasn’t sure if it was actually related. Since yours seems to have started around the higher dose, mention it to your provider just to be safe

I had itching around the injection site

Oh! Yes! I’ve been on it’s since July 2025 and I’ve just started itching a year later. It’s driving me spare. I was convinced I had scabies as it started after I’d been on holiday staying at a hotel and thought I’d picked it up there from the bed or sorting. It’s much worse in the heat. I asked my nurse and the pharmacist and they both said it was only a thing near the injection site - I’m so glad it’s not me going mad
