My current supplier site is going to cut me off as I'm now nearing a healthy BMI on at 7.5 mounjaro a week - I'd like to either be on a maintenance dose or very very slowly wean myself off but seems I'm not getting that choice. How do you all order extra pens etc to make sure you can do what's right for you?

Basically, in the months prior to reaching the cut off weight, people are ordering after 3 weeks and using for 5 doses. Plus ordering from other suppliers simultaneously to double up on their own stock. I'm not sure if you've left it too late to do this as you indicate your supplier is about to cut you off so I'm presuming you've reached BMI of 23? If so, this will make it difficult to go elsewhere as you no longer meet the criteria and I think that precribers who are prepared to consider a limited maintenance dose are likely to only do this with patients they've had a long standing relationship with. Your best bet may therefore be to discuss it in more detail with your supplier - they should have a care line number you can call.

I was on Wegovy but I ordered higher dose pens and click counted so they lasted longer but then still reordered after 3 weeks.
