Mounjaro

I took 2.5 initial 4 week dose of Mounjaro with no problems other than didn't want food -at all! Eating was the worst thing because I just could not face food, not even chocolate or things I'd normally like. So after just one week on the higher dose of 5 mg injection the nausea is awful. I'm also feeling rather dizzy and faint. Anyone else have this? I'm considering not taking my next shot which is due tomorrow as I feel so sick all the time. The only thing that settles my stomach is fizzy lemonade. I was borderline diabetic and tried metformin from my gp but couldn't tolerate it so he stopped it. My HbA1c is 46. Any advice welcome as unsure what to do.

Maybe go back down to 2.5? I've just started 5mg and I feel a bit more nauseous but nothing I can't deal with, but 2.5mg was starting to not work for me. I'm on week 5 and have lost a stone!

If 2.5 was working for you there was no need to go up to 5. Go back down to 2.5 and only go up again if you need to.
