User Reviews for Mounjaro subcutaneous

Quick Update: So now it's been 2 months and I'm down a total of 43lbs!!! Extremely Happy w/ this Miracle Med??

I’ve just began with Mounjaro. I woke up today with very sore shoulders, back and upper arms. My heart rate is also going up and down. Has anyone else had these issues?

My A1C was out of control and I weighed 247 lbs .It's been 10 months and my A1C is 5.4 and my weight is 139.Mounjaro has saved my life and made it much more enjoyable .I can exercise and not get out of breath .Thank You for my new improved life.

Mounjaro is a game changer, ive dropped nearly 25lbs in 3 months and couldn't be happier.....BUT is anyone else having any side effects? Mine is unbelievable amount of stomach gas build up within 24 hours of injection........ a hot mess of farting and burping to be super graphic.....I know it mentions this as side effect, but wasn't expecting it to be so extreme....

I've been on mounjaro for 6 months. Side effects didn't hit me until 7.5 and 10 mg doses. Constipation hit me hard at 10mg. Glucose numbers run in the 90s fasting. Happy with glucose readings. Not much weight loss. At 10mg I began having freezing cold toes, hands, and nose throughout the day even when weather is 80 degrees outside. My Endo nurse practitioner says the cold feet, hands, and nose doesn't seem to be from the mounjaro.

I'll start with this, right at the beginning of Covid, I was 145 lbs and probably 5% body fat. I was quite literally in the best shape of my life at 46 years old. Then like a flash, Covid hits and we go into lock down. If I am not active, I get really bad about eating. I mean really bad. Entire ice cream cakes multiple times a week, chips, cookies, candy.....you get the gist. Mostly it's from boredom but it quickly turns into an addictive habit to mask my own personal struggles. (never fully recovered 9/11 survivor and recovering Alcoholic.) I don't drink (haven't in nearly 20 years), don't smoke and somehow, in 1 year, my weight climbed to 195 lbs. How did I eat myself to that weight? Especially since I am only 5'6". What a nightmare I got myself into....again. I somehow let this crazy eating cycle continue until I reached an absolute breaking point. Bottom if you may. I made a decision to commit to a new me, a healthy me and one that will be around for my daughter for a long time. I started Mounjaro 3 weeks ago when I weighed in at 194 lbs in my doctor's office, switched to a fully plant based diet, cut out ALL sugar, eliminated processed foods and I am exercising religiously. My weight as of the typing of this review is 176 lbs. My goal is to get back to the 145-150 range and hopefully ween off of the medication if I can. Fingers crossed. For anyone who is reading this that is struggling, I hope you hear my message as one of support because I know how easy it is to mask life's issues with food. I have spent my entire life losing weight, gaining it back and adding a little extra. I just got sick and tired of feeling sick and tired. I know my weight loss is not a ton, but at the end of the day, we are all looking to accomplish the same thing. Know that you are worth the effort to me, friends, family, neighbors, kids, etc. You can lose the weight and be a new you. Just stay committed to making a mindset shift and don't view this as a "diet". View this as a positive lifestyle change that will keep you planted on the earth for a long time and not planted in it before it's your time. I could not be happier and I know you will as well. Just be patient and let the universe drive during this journey.Read More Read Less

I have been on the lowest dose for 12 weeks. It keeps blood sugar even, I do not feel hungry. I have found I want to eat less and some things I used to like do not appeal. I have not weighed myself will do so next week when I visit the Doctor. Not so great. One syringe was defective so that dose was wasted at this price this is not acceptable . For the past week I have been without because the pharmacy can’t get the drug. If you rely on it to keep your blood sugar even this too is unacceptable !Read More Read Less

This drug has helped me so much with getting blood sugar under control and losing weight. It has been almost impossible for me to lose weight in the past. I lost 30 lbs in less than 2 months.

56 yr old female 5’5”, weight gain over past 4 years from 165 to 200, from pre-diabetic to diabetic, started Mounjaro in Sept ‘23. In 2 months A1C moved from 6.5 to 4.1. Started on 2.5mg for 3 months, 5 mg for 3 months and now 7.5. My current weight 160 and my goal is 144. Mounjaro is controlling A1C, reducing sugar cravings, and make portion control easy for me. I no longer use metformin or Jardience. Once I stay at goal weight for 3+ months, I plan to have a breast reduction and lift (no implants) to complement my healthier body. My body has experienced less inflammation as arthritis, headaches and fibromyalgia are improved by better food choices and higher activity resulting in weight loss. Mounjaro is an excellent tool for people with weight challenge, reducing A1C and reducing cardiovascular risks. I am so thankful for this!Read More Read Less

I have had a good experience on it but haven't been on it long enough to get my sugars back under control cause I haven't gotten on the right dose yet. With that said I hope everyone realizes that this medication for diabetes is currently on backorder for the 7.5mg and 10mg. I haven't been able to have my medication in almost 2 weeks now cause I can't get my refill cause of the backorder. Really wish this would get straightened out quickly.

Finishing my first month adjusting to Mounjaro 2.5 mg. Had all the small print symptoms, recovered quickly and my endocrinologist constantly monitoring my daily results. Week three reduced my nightly Lantus to 50 units, down from 60. Week four reduced it another 10 units to 40 units/night. Having no issues adhering to my dietary restrictions: 40 grams of carbs/meal and no more than 100 grams of protein/day. Not expecting any weight loss for months just glad I’m off Humalog 3 to 4 times daily…major improvement on my quality of life!Read More Read Less

I had my annual physical in January and my doctor was concerned about my A1c being at 6.8, so he suggested the Mounjaro. I was at 265 in January, I weighed in last week at 241.5. I have been glad to see the weight fall off. More energy, my back doesn't hurt as much either. Still have a ways to go!

This is a MIRACLE MED for me and has been a Complete Godsend. I started taking the 2.5mg dosage exactly 1 month ago for type 2 diabetes and obesity. When I started, I weighed 291lbs, and today's I weigh 270---that's an incredible 21lb weight loss in just one month!!!! Now, I did start eating healthy and exercising at the same time; but I truly believe I could not have done this w/o the Mounjaro. In the past, my biggest problem was that I was a binge-eater: eating whatever I was craving for in very large quantities. But the immediate effects I noticed with this AMAZING MED is that it took all my cravings away; and I actually don't really think about food at all. I hardly ever need to eat more than 1,500 calories per day. The only side-effect that I did notice was that I was generally tired in the 1st week after taking it; but my body has adjusted and I'm good now. For the first time in over 17 yrs, I truly believe that Mounjaro will help me get to my goal weight of 178. I Hope this post has helped you in trying to make that decision whether this medication will be right for you and Best of Luck to you!!Read More Read Less

The mounjarno shot has made me feel like a brand new person. I can think clearer, have energy, I'm patient, and regular bowel movement, no panic and anxiety.. this is a miracle shot for me . I just can't afford it and my insurance doesn't cover it sad

After one month only lost 2 lbs. Excruciating hip spain!! Not worth the suffering.

I visited the er 2 times in one month with extream labor/mistral pains. This made me bed ridden in constant pain and took me away from my job and the gym. Its been 20 days since my last shot and I am struggling to get back to normal.

I started using 7.5 mg. Fasting sugars and threw out the day sugars immediately went down. I lost 7lbs in the first week. Hunger and cravings are at a zero. I eat tons of veggies, protein and fiber, I work out everyday. I take a any acid, vitamin b complex and a prebiotic, probiotics with vitamin c, I also take a d3 supplement, I do notice diarrhea and nausea if I try to eat anything with to much carbs or greasy. You have got to stay hydrated and add electrolytes to your water. It will cause a to if you don't, and very bad dehydration. Remind your self to eat something small every two hours. A handful of food helps, with the fatigue. I started out 182lbs in January, now I am 170lbs. Read More Read Less

62 years old. Type 2 diabetic, Metformin did nothing. Starting weight 232 lbs. High liver enzyme levels and A1C usually around 7. Started Mounjaro over 2 months ago. 2.5 x 4 weeks, 5 x 4 weeks..now on 2nd week of 7.5. Have lost a few lbs. Appetite is greatly suppressed. I have to be very careful of what I eat. As long as my food is mostly healthy, does not cause acid reflux and stomach upset. Eating much smaller portions. Get some feeling of nausea and constipation but it is not unbearable. I have a Dr. Appointment in a few weeks, hoping to see that it has made a difference. Read More Read Less

I have type 2. After hormone therapy for prostate cancer I had to triple my injection of Toujeo to 80 units. So my doctor put me on 2.5 mg of Mounjaro. Was amazing first week. Blood sugars down to between 100-110 from 160s. Then after second shot, major constipation. But I could deal with that. But when the PVCs (preventicular contractions) in my heart started. I had to quit. It was awful. Nothing listed on their website. But I went online and found it wasn't uncommon. It's rather unfortunate it was a wonder drug for my diabetes Read More Read Less

I started mounjaro 2.5 on Sept 27th, 2023, @ 264 lbs. I was using metformin and 5 insulin injections per day. I lost 40 lbs in the first 38 days. Today is February 9, and I’m at 186 lbs. My sugar levels are that of a non diabetic. I can eat anything I want, cookies, ice creams, sugar…. It still remains normal. (((I have not used insulin nor metformin since September 27th- after my first dose of mounjaro.))) I went to 5.mg for a month then 7.5… I’m holding on the 7.5. I am never hungry, and always busy, lots of energy! I’m now wondering if the weight loss will stop at some point? Will my appetite ever return and will I ever again become tired? Thank you Mounjaro!!! You have changed my entire life!!!Read More Read Less
