Fear re side effects (dizziness)

[RoxieLoxy]

I have a fear of side effects with any medication but especially worried about Mounjaro. I have 4 stone to lose, am obese, dieted all my life and it never lasts. I can afford mounjaro. I have severe endometriosis and apparently, although not proven yet, it’s possible it may even help with that.

I can cope with tummy upsets etc, it’s the risk of dizziness that bothers me. I’ve had a bad neck which has caused dizziness on and off for the last two years and I absolutely hate it. I would rather be overweight than dizzy.

Can anyone please reassure me? None of my clothes fit, I’m so unhealthy. I’m just so worried about possible dizziness if I have the injections.

I genuinely don't recall if dizziness is listed as a side effect. It doesn't ring any bells for me and it's not something that has come up in any of the long running threads that I've noticed.

If suppression is too much and you eat too little then a blood sugar dip could certainly cause dizziness. I also had a couple of occasions after a hot bath where I felt a bit woozy and I think that was BP related. MJ helps with BP and a hot bath drops it so the combination had that effect.

I would just say be careful not to undereat, drink lots of water and focus on good fats and protein to keep your energy up. Without cutting out carbs completely, just reducing them.

I've never experienced any side effects with MJ.. I did experience plenty of side effects of being obese, sadly, but they're pretty much gone now that I'm 5 stone down.

Been on it 15 months and never had any prolonged dizziness, I occasionally get a light head when I stand up too quickly which didn’t happen when I was heavier. As per PP, I assumed this is due to lower blood sugar.
I’m 29kgs down and have genuinely never felt better so I’d say go for it, you can always stop if it doesn’t work for you

There are all sorts of side-effects—mainly burps & nausea, but also others. I’ve never seen dizziness listed, at least not for Mounjaro.

You might feel a bit wobbly if you don't get enough calories in, but the easy answer to that is to just ensure you do! If suppression is intense in the beginning eat/snack on nutrition dense low volume foods like nuts etc.
