Swapping from monjroro to wegovy

[Wackywippet]

Anyone swapped or swapping
What was your experience
Thinking of doing a swap as weight on mounjaro has stalled

I did, for the same reason as you. I have just swapped back to mounjaro as I really didn’t feel the wegovy was having any effect. I have started injecting into my tummy area rather than leg and will of course have to build my mounjaro dose up again. Fingers crossed it starts working again!

I intend to try the opposite. Side effects from Wegovy so severe . Different main ingredient so fingers crossed I won't react as badly . If not , I am screwed ..

I tried this and lost absolutely nothing. Wegovy gave me no suppression.

Oh dear ..this doesn't bode well then

I'm literally paying £325 to keep my weight the same each week
I think it's done it's job with me ,I've stayed the same for so long ,I have to try something different

I didn't get any side effects with MJ was really lucky..fingers crossed you won't either

Currently monjroro isn't having any effect for me
I do think it eventually runs it course with all of us
My thoughts are to try wagovy untill January then swap back to monjroro to see if that jolts weight loss again ...I'm lost for ideas if that doesn't work

Did you get food noise back or just hunger

If you are able to try it I don't see any reason why not to. you'll know right away if it's working or not.

I started with wegovy and had pretty dismal results with it I didn't have any bad side effects thankfully but very slow weight loss extremely slow.

I'm going to try the other one starting in January

5 months on 15 mg of monjroro and my weight has stayed the same ,gone up a few pounds,down a few pounds..it's a lot of money.
So if I can get the same effect paying £100 less a month it's worth a try

Hi OP…I get my MJ from Medicine Marketplace and it’s consistently the cheapest of them all - £229 for 15mg.

They don’t do codes or introductory offers but so far I’ve not found anything cheaper.

I have.
Horrific side effects on MJ, zero on Weg. Cost & side effects is why I changed.
Good appetite suppressant but no weight loss 7 weeks in on Weg.
I think that Weg is good when you are at goal weight to maintain at a much cheaper price.

@focusingloudly Do you know if they prescribe for maintenance?

I went from MJ to Wegovy and now back on MJ, but had to start at a lower dose and have put on 4kg in 4weeks!!

But for ages if I remember correctly wagovy was the only weight loss injection you could get ..I'm sure I followed a woman who lost a lot of weight on it .
I'm currently on day 5 and I don't jab untill day 7 and I've been ravenous today , totally eating more than usual.
I really don't know what to do ...if monjroro has stopped working and nothing else I can get my hands on is stronger...well I'm doomed then

I'm about a week into swapping.

I lost a couple of stones on Mounjaro 2.5 from May - August 2025 from BMI 30 to 25. Progress then completely stalled. I started using a dose around 3.5 from a 5 Mounjaro pen because I didn't like how fast my heart rate was on 5 (even though it was still within a normal range, but creeping towards the upper end often at around 90bpm whilst doing little). My weight has hovered stubbornly at BMI 25 for over a year now.

I've gone straight to the 4 dose of Wegovy which is equivalent to 5mg. Suppression seems a little lower but I haven't gained weight or anything. My heart rate seems fine in the 80s (although would prefer it to be lower).

I'm toying with trying a higher dose of Wegovy next month. Ideally I'd like to lose another 0.5 stones but if I maintain at this weight either with Mounjaro or Wegovy I'm content.

Food noise and hunger. One week I actually put on weight.

I swapped from Mounjaro injections to wegovy tablets for similar reasons - my weight loss had stalled and I wanted to save money. That was in the summer and I have lost about another 2kg since. Obviously nothing like the early days on mounjaro but it’s still going in the right direction. I like that it’s a daily thing - eg suppression doesn’t start strong and taper off. I have about another 3kg that I want to lose. But doing that will take me to the lowest weight I have been for years so I know it might take a while

I'm going on to 17mg of wagovy..so that's the second highest amount..so I'm hoping the change of medication might shock my body in to loosing a bit

Wegovy did nothing for me it was like water 4 months I was on it stick with mounjaro

What strength were you on ..I'm going on quite a high one as I'm swapping from 15mg monjroro

Lots of negatives it seems with wagovy..I have 60 days to swap back to monjroro if it does nothing for me ..
I'm running out of ideas as monjroro has stopped working for me
I have lost a lot of weight..so. I don't know maybe this is as good as it gets

What do you weigh now/What's your BMI? My weight loss stopped at BMI 26 and I just couldn't get lower without more effort than I am able to make even on 15mg mounjaro. I've spent the past year maintaining whilst bringing my dose down as far as I can (only to 9mg) whilst maintaining weight loss. It's tough but at some point you have to accept you've lost your limit and work on how you maintain that loss. Maybe wegovy will allow you to do that on a lower price point. I wouldn't expect miracles on the weight loss side though.

I have lost nearly 13 stone in two years on mj
BMI is 28
I have more weight to loose..
I don't have a lot of loose skin ..I can grab handfuls of stomach rolls still
So there's more to loose for sure ..
I am basically paying for mj to just maintain my weight
I absolutely can't and won't eat any less ,if anything I need to increase food
So if wagovy can do the same as mj for ,£100 less a month I will take that .
The plan is to move back to mj in January..I'm just trying to give my body a shake up to get weight loss moving again
