At the end of my 3rd week on Mounjarno. Ive had a bit of appetite suppression but still find I'm getting cravings and quite hungry. But then i eat and feel very nauseous for hours, if not days. I'm only on 2.5mg. Is this normal? I'm fed up feeling like I'm about to throw up.

I used Wegovy. But I found that drinking water as soon as that nauseous feeling started really helped. But it sort of got worse and worse if I didn't drink. Even now, I get a glass of water if i get even a hint of it starting.

Side effects like nausea are common at the start of taking the medication and on dose increase. It does settle down, usually, over time.

There are various home remedies for nausea (ginger tea, peppermint tea etc) or you can try anti nausea medication like cyclizine if it's ongoing.
