Anyone switched from mounjaro to wegovy due to side effects? Did it help?

Hi all, looking for some ideas really. Started mounjaro in jan25 and used intermittently throughout last year (couldn’t always afford it) lost about 4 stone. Then after a long break I had really bad side effects from low doses on restarting twice. Horrendous sulphur burps, abdominal pain and complete inability to eat anything other than a couple of crackers a day for several weeks. So pretty rough.
The last time I stopped and haven’t tried again.

I am however putting the weight back on. I’m now nearly 3 stone heavier than when I stopped taking MJ.

obviously I don’t really think that starting MJ is a good idea. But am questioning if trying Wegovy instead might be better?
Has anyone experienced anything similar?

I switched to Wegovy because of the Mounjaro price hike. I only got a bit of nausea when I went from 2.5mg to 5mg on Mounjaro.

Since I've been on Wegovy I find it hard to stay asleep and I've been at the point of exhaustion more than once. I also get stinging/burning and a bruise when the needle goes in which I had from day 1 on Wegovy but never on Mounjaro.

Both have helped me lose weight.

I switched to wegovy after the MJ price increases, and I’m hating wegovy.

The tiredness, nausea and burps are much worse with wegovy, and the suppression is way less effective.

Im desperate to switch back to MJ but I’m going to have to reevaluate my finances.
