User Reviews for Mounjaro (tirzepatide)

Ok,everyone. I am now on my second month. One pound weight loss ?? I'm still giving this medication a chance. Now I'm on 5mg of Mounjaro. I like how it curves my appetite for food,sugar and cigarettes,yes cigarettes! Still no side effects. I will check back again in another month!

I have been on 2.5 mg Mounjaro for one month, absolutely no weight loss yet but no gain either. I understand that the substantial weight-loss usually happens at the 10 and 15 mg doses. that being said, however my blood sugars have been much better in control, not quite where we want them but, more stable. and the Dawn phenomenon high glucose numbers I have in the morning have lowered about 20 points, so that’s a win. Also I started getting hungry about 2 1/2 weeks in, then some days I wasn’t hungry and some days I was hungrier. and in the beginning for the first 2 1/2 weeks I wasn’t even really thinking about food or forgot to eat sometimes, which was kind of a nice effect, since I am a food addict in recovery in a 12 step program. I suffer GERD and IBS, and surprisingly, it hasn’t affected either one of them, I have not had any nausea either. I had tried Victoza before but I was one of the small percent of people that the medication raised my blood pressure and heart rate after about three weeks, and I had to discontinue it. Trying to not put all my eggs in one basket, but I’m hoping Mounjaro will help me not only continue lowering my blood sugars, but also getting some of this weight off, sometimes I feel screwed because I’m also going through menopause, but we’ll see!!Read More Read Less

I've been taking Ozempic since Jan. of 2021 and had lost 40 lbs, but I, like most others, had severe stomach issues with Ozempic. I had been following Mounjaro before it received FDA approval and was excited to try it. Meh, it's okay. I have been on it for 2 months. Started with 2.5, and now at 5 mg. On Ozempic I had horrible sugar cravings, which Mounjaro alleviated. But I am hungry on Mounjaro, I get severe hunger pains, I've only lost 4 lbs, and I'm exceptionally tired. However, I did not have any of the gastric mobility issues, no burping, throwing up, etc., that I have with Ozempic. My blood sugar is good on both meds, but I still want to continue to lose weight. So, that being said, I AM going back to Ozempic, purely to continue the weight loss.Read More Read Less

I am in my first week of taking the 2.5 dose for weight loss to help decrease my LDH cholesterol level. I have very little hunger and am dealing with the nausea. Does anyone have tips for food to help with the nausea?

Day: 4. Dose: 2.5 mg Weight loss: 0 lbs Side effects: none I’m not diabetic and have been low carb for a month. I’ve had slow weight loss with diet and exercise alone. I was hoping Mounjaro would accelerate my weight loss results. That has not happen yet. I’ve been seeing posts with drastic weight loss results very early on, in the Mounjaro journey for some. That has not been my experience so far. However I’m trying to remain hopeful.

Started on 5mg's...had initial muscle soreness but it went away after 24 hours. Had to come off after two weeks because the stomach distress was truly not livable, I felt sooo sick. After 10 days, tried the smallest dose, 2.5 mg's and no negative symptoms, slightly decreased appetite. I will stick with this for four weeks and possibly try the 5mg's again after that, but a bit nervous to.

I’m not sure if it’s too early but been a week on Mounjaro after a year on ozempic and no weight loss yet !! Taking the 5mg I’m not sure why nothing’s happening!! I’ll wait a little more and see!

I started taking this injection yesterday and today I woke up with severe muscle pain. It literally hurts to touch the skin, Went to my PCP just to make sure no covid, flu, or strep. Everything negative. Only change is the injection. Has anyone else experience anything like this?

I just finished 3 weeks of Mounjarno. I am now having SEVERE back pains and muscle spasms. My endocrinologist told me to get off NOW!! Have any of you had the bad bad back pains and cramps?!

You don't even think about food. Great results

I just started the 2.5 mg dosage this week. Right away I am seeing positive results.

I switched from 1.8 mg Victoza to 5 mg Mounjaro. My sugar levels are stable with both medications. Maybe it’s too Soon, to say… but I gained 3lbs my first week on mounjaro! I took my second injection yesterday. I still get hunger pangs.I will give it a few weeks, if I don’t see results, I’m switching myself back to Victoza. Victoza made me sick, but I lost 40 lbs. I rather feel sick and lose more weight, I have another 60 lbs to lose.

I'm taking this medication for weight loss. I lost 11lbs my first month of use. This isn't a magic pill or shot, you have to try too. I worked out and ate more healthy. If you overeat, you will get sulfer burps- so don't do it! stop before you are full. Focus on changing your diet and building a more active lifestyle. I did have some fatigue the first couple of days after the shots- caffeine helped immesely.

I'm not sure if it's me or the medication. I've been on Mounjaro for almost a month and I'm down 4lbs. I've had no side effects whatsoever! My next Drs visit is next week. Maybe the increase in the dosage will help. I will keep checking in and let y'all know what's going on!

This is my second week and I have seen great improvements in my blood sugar especially in the morning when I wake up. I curbs your appetite extremely. You have to remind yourself to eat. I have lost 9 lbs and will report back in a week or 2.

I just finished my first week of Mounjaro 5mg dose and I'm very excited about the results so far. The only side effect I experienced was a mild headache the first day and a half which went away on it's own. The very first day of usage I saw a significant drop in blood glucose and my numbers continued getting better throughout the week. I suffer from "dawn phenomenon syndrome" which means my sugar is usually quite high in the mornings when I wake up. Typically I'm high 200's. After starting Mounjaro I'm now down to about 140 average. The medicine is a MAJOR appetite suppressant and it doesn't suppress by making you sick to your stomach. You simply do not desire or crave anything and you never feel hungry. The bad part of this is you have to remind yourself to eat and sometimes I have to force myself even tho I don't feel like I want or need anything. Same thing goes for liquids. You can easily get dehydrated so be sure to drink water regularly. I have lost 7lbs in my first week (some of that is water loss of course). I'm very excited to continue with this medicine and see what my numbers and weight look like after 30 days.Read More Read Less

Thought I’d try this after I couldn’t tolerate Ozempic. Two weeks in and I’ve been puking my guts out. And sulfur burps are terrible. I was hoping it would be a better experience but wayyy worse.

I've only been taking this medication for about a month. I was prescribed the 2.5 injection which is the lowest dose you can start with. I haven't seen any weight loss yet :( when I usually wake up in the mornings I'm usually starving.but this actually controls your hunger which it great! I will check back in next month to see if I have changes to review.
