User Reviews for Mounjaro subcutaneous

2 days in after first shot, I had severe violent vomiting, and diarrhea. Coming out both ends for 2 days. By the 5th day I went from 185 to 172. I'm on my sixth day, still crapping well over 12 times a day. WILL NO BE TAKING A SHOT TOMORROW. IM DEATHLY SICK. ????????????????????????

65 years old. First drug to really work for me. Down 80 pounds and still going. Side effects were terrible the first few weeks. But as I stayed on for several months on each dose it gets better. Hope I never have to get off!

I took my 6th dose today. I have lost 11 lbs. in 5 weeks but I did get Covid during the past 5 weeks. My Dr has started me on 2.5 mg for the first 12 weeks. I have had some nausea and heartburn which has been very uncomfortable, but I'm sticking it out. It has only occurred on about 3 or 4 days. My appetite decreased and I feel full sooner than I used to. My stomach does not like fatty foods. My glucose level has been lower but I haven't had my A1C checked yet.

My doctor meant to prescribe 2.5mg, but instead called in a prescription for 7.5mg. I have never been so sick in my entire life. I stopped taking the shot after 3 doses and a couple of weeks later and I am still dealing with the side effects (diarrhea, belching like darth Vader, vommiting. Have been dehydrated and unable to keep for down for 11 days. Felt a little better for a few days and then back to full blown symptoms.

My endocrinologist started me at 5 mg. The dosage was too high. I felt very out if it in the medication. She then prescribed a dose of 2.5 mg. Extreme fatigue, headaches and dizziness. I’ve taken a total of 3 injections and have decided to stop this medication. It is not agreeing with me at all. I read it takes 25 days for the medication to get completely out of your system. Best of luck to others.

44 y.o woman. Pre-diabetic. Lost 3 pound in one month. Start weight 324p. Today one month later at 321p. No side affects on 2.5 mg. Start today on 5 mg. Prior I hardly ate all day and enjoyed one large unbalanced meal at night and poor water intake. These last two weeks I am trying hard to increase protein intake to at least 100g daily and increase water to 8 cups daily. So far disappointed with outcome after one month when seeing others journeys. Hoping the increase protein and water daily helps even though I am eating more, which is opposite of what this med does. Any suggestions?Read More Read Less

I do not have side effects and my sweet cravings are gone. I am not as hungry, and I get satisfied with very little food. This is the first time in my life that I am in control of my eating without suffering.

I have lost almost 80 lbs, all my labs have gone normal , my nash has stabilized and the cirrhosis has stabilized. I feel better and more active than I have in years have been able to come off pain meds for arthritis. Can't say enough good side effects have been minimal and the good it has done far out ways the bad

Started on Mounjaro in October of 2022. I have lost 34 pounds. Started at 247 and now weigh 213. Weight came off quickly in the beginning. Now is stalls for weeks. I have roughly weighed within the same five pound range since last June. Four months ago went to 7.5 with no weight loss. Checkup next week. Maybe will move to 10. A1C is good-5.4. No major side effects other than appetite suppression. Because of my age and physical difficulties with exercise, my body seems content to maintain the status quote even with fewer calories. Does Mounjaro work! Yes. But I think it does lose weight loss effectiveness after a while. Read More Read Less

Have been on it for 6 months, occasional heat burn day after injection, a tums fixes it. each month I have gone up in doses, starting at 2.5. Besides loss of appetite, and due to that, less intake of food ( which is good) my A1C is @ 7 now. I am down as of this weight check 60lbs and off my other pills also. Also Glad the shots do not hurt!

My A1C was 11.5 in September. Doctor put me on mounjaro 2.5 for a month, then increased it to 5 for 2 months. After 3 months my A1C is 7.2, and I lost 12lb (145lb to 133lb). But the side effects were pretty bad too. I felt nauseous, lost appetite, and heartburn. I had constipation at least 3 days a week. I like the medicine since it’s helping me with my blood sugar but I hate it when I feel nauseous and have heartburn in the night, that makes me can’t sleep well. Food makes me nauseous: all the greasy and deep fried food like hamburger, fries, burrito, pizza, fried chicken wings… Food makes me feel better: steamed veggies, fruits, clear soups like chicken noodle soup, veggie soup.

I'm just updating my review of Mounjaro. I still have not lost weight on this and my hunger level is exactly the same as it had been before taking this medication. Unfortunately, I now have had the side effects of Mounjaro which includes nausea and an upset stomach. Coincidencely, having an upset stomach was basically the only time I wasn't hungry. Will continue with this medication, but nothing happening so far.

Have been on it for one week. So far down 7 pounds. Amazing how it has just completely changed my desire to eat and snack. Have to remind myself to eat most times, that’s never happened before. Side effects have been almost nonexistent, hopefully that continues as I move up.

For those experiencing nausea, indigestion and painful gas.. Digestive Enzymes! They have saved me. I have PCOS and up until 9 years ago the only treatment I was given was low dose birth control... until I met my Dr for life. I've been eating Low Carb for 3 years and Nutritional Keto for 8 months now. (Virta) When I started I was 347lbs. I am 5'2.. I was spherical . I dropped weight rapidly (around 170lbs) and then laziness got me back up 40lbs. My Dr started me on Mounjaro after telling her about the " food noise" and the difficulty maintaining 20 or less carbs and my borderline Type 2 A1C for the last decade. Mounjaro has helped immensely. I've had digestion issues and injection site rashes due to my already super sensitive skin. Hydrocortisone cream and resisting the urge to scratch has helped. I stalled out on 7.5mg & experienced the dreaded food noise, weight loss stall and hunger. After discussing what was going on with my Dr, she bumped me up to 10mg & I'm doing much better. I just did my 3rd week injection this morning and that 40lb gain is gone. The weight loss has been slow and steady but more importantly I am eating healthier, feeling satisfied and I can now determine food noise from actual hunger. For those of you struggling I can't stress this enough ..talk to your Dr. ! They should be able to help & guide you where you need to be and if they don't...find someone who will. Good luck & great health! Kristine Read More Read Less

I was at my heaviest of 204 when I began taking mounjaro, diabetes is a very high risk for me as many of my aunts and uncles have it, my grandma also. My glucose was at 167 which is high for my normal numbers so my doctor suggested this medication. Not only have my levels decreased greatly but I am down to 163 and have been on this for about 9 months. My goal weight is 150 as I am 5'3. The only side effect I occasionally get is constipation, but nothing a little coffee won't cure?? I have no complaints, and feel so much better!Read More Read Less

I have only been taking this medication for a week, but have not experienced any change in my hunger level. Also, yesterday I ended up weighing more than I have weighed in about 3 years. So in short, weight gain and no decrease at all in hunger. I’m willing to give this medication a longer try, but color me totally unimpressed and shocked by its lack of effectiveness. The only good thing is that I didn’t have major side effects with this drug.

I have adhd and this medication has seemed to help me with focus. I have lost 70 lbs and am really able to enjoy life.

I started on 5MG and had no appetite and ate very little lost 10 pounds in the first month. I went up to 7.5 and have lost nothing and feel hungry all the time. Has anyone else had this happen?

I am a 65 year old African American male. Started Mounjaro 2.5 March 2023, my dose was increased each month until I reached 10 MG dose. I started exercising November 2022 and continued exercise 3 to 5 days a week, no side effects except weight loss from 225# to 195# all muscle, no fat, waist went from 40 inches to 34 inches. Clothing went from 2XL to Large. I plan on staying with 10mg dose and not increasing doseage. A1C went from 7.8 to 6.4. I recommend exercising at least 2 months before starting the drug. I was on 2000mg metformin a day and now I feel better. I take Monjauro only. Read More Read Less

I was 34 BMI in June 2023 and now 27 BMI at the end of November. This medicine has made me so sick and can't eat. It's like force anorexia and bulimia. I'm on the 10mg, probably going to ask to dose done. I think I've had enough. Is it worth it, absolutely!! I have my life back!!
