Did Mounjaro 5mg not work for you?

[GoingDownDown]

I’m on week 7 of Mounjaro, at 5mg. So far…no effect. At 2.5 I had no side effects. At 5 I’ve found that the two days after the shot I am absolutely exhausted - the first week I had to go to work and I ended up having a nap in my car on my lunch break - the second I was home with the kids and had to let them watch TV most of the day because I could barely stay awake. I could probably work around this, were it not for the fact that I get no impact on my appetite! Also some nausea, but not terrible.

Has anyone found 5 didn’t work for them but 7.5 did? I’ve got the rest of this 5mg pen to go and I’m wondering whether it’s worth trying 7.5 or not.

I tried Wegovy, on that I had horrendous side effects, did feel the appetite suppression but was vomiting constantly so that was not sustainable.

Yes! I had terrible side effects on Wegovy so switched to Mounjaro. 2.5mg did nothing. I actually put on weight at 5mg but this is my first week of 7.5mg. I am down 3lbs since injecting 5 days ago. Have you continued your Mounjaro journey?

I lost 4kgs on 2.5 with no side effects but 5mg Mounjaro seems not to be working for me and I have had a few stomach upsets / episodes of nausea. Currently on week 7 of 5mg but with an accidental break as I forgot to take my pen on holiday. I feel a bit disappointed with 5mg tbh though the side effects are minimal and manageable - weight loss plateau though.

I am on week 3 of 5mg and have only lost a few pounds since starting 8wks ago. Definitely eating a lot less and no real appetite but still no real weight loss. Will order 7.5mg for the next month but then will sack it. Very expensive to not lose...😣

5mg and 7.5 wernt great for me tbh. 2.5 and 10 great. The fatigue is my only side affect now. Loads at beginning..

Have you not changed your diet at all?

Nope, I had to get to 12.5 before it started working

now 11lbs down in three weeks

My diet was always good i just ate too much . Same size dinners as hubby. I snacked and popped into greggs when shopping or kfc. I cut snacks out and smaller portions. Lost 3.7 st. But tons of inches , i have visible bones lol
