User Reviews for Mounjaro subcutaneous

Started last Sunday. I’m doing the 2.5mg. I am happy to report that after 55 years of smoking I have immediately quit, This is absolutely amazing! Too soon to report on weight loss. If all I achieved was quitting smoking then it was well worth it! Thank you Mounjaro??

With help from Mounjaro I have reduced my insulin intake by 80%, and over the last two year I have lost 130 pounds.

I was 170 lbs when I started this in February 2024. After 12 weeks, I am now down to 145lbs. I was on 2.5 mg for the first four weeks and have been on 5 mg for the past 8 weeks. I’m at week 13 and just started the 7.5 mg dose.

I have been obese for most of my adult life and have always struggled to lose weight due to suffering with PCOS. I began taking this medication in the first week of April 2024 at the 2.5mg dose. After 4 weeks I had lost 14.5lbs (a stone!). This week I increased to the 5mg dose and have lost a further 3.3lbs. I am averaging a healthy weight loss of 1.5kg per week. I have had absolutely no adverse side effects whatsoever so far. My appetite is significantly reduced and like other reviewers I have lost all cravings for sugar or sweets. I get full and stay full for much longer from smaller portions. As my appetite is reduced I am finding it a struggle to consume more than 1100 calories a day so I have ensured that I am eating healthy balanced meals to ensure I get decent nutrition / vitamins etc but other than this I have made no other lifestyle changes. I would recommend this medication to anyone who has struggled with binge eating, snacking, or cravings. The changes in my eating habits happened overnight and I have maintained the same energy levels despite drastically reducing my calorie intake thanks to Mounjaro. I believe the 5mg dose is enough for me so intend to stay on this plan and not increase unless I begin to see my weight loss plateau before my goal weight is reached. Read More Read Less

Tomorrow I take my third shot. Immediately I noticed a total lack of appetite, though I didn't have much of one to begin with. I am suffering with 'surprise' diarrhea, which isn't fun. I am also seeing an uptick in my reflux and burping. I seem to feel more tired that usual. While annoying, none of this is enough to deter me to keep trying the drug.

The first day I didn’t record any blood sugars over 104 after averaging 136! now regularly under 100. I lost 11lbs the first week. I am 110lbs overweight so this is a lovely added feature. For thirty years I have felt hungry all day every day no matter how much I eat. I literally haven’t felt hungry a single minute since taking this. That is a huge mental win. I have not experienced any side effects.

This stuff works. Apatite reduced. Able to eat 3 meals a day and nothing in between. A-1 C from 11 to 7.

I am updating my review. I have noticed less hunger on the 12.5mg dose of Mounjaro. My folks have commented that I am eating a lot less food than I used to eat when eating at a restaurant. However, I still am not losing much weight. In four months on Mounjaro I have lost a grand total of 5 pounds. This is really perplexing given that I am eating a great deal less than I used to eat. This tiny weight loss does not justify me staying on this medication for much longer. Also, have had increased side effects including sulfur burps, diarrhea, and sluggishness.Read More Read Less

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!
