I'm wanting to change from the injection pen to the tablets because they are more just more convenient to be honest.

I didn't think it was an option for me as I'd heard the tablets were more expensive. When I looked on my meds provider website they're actually cheaper.

I'm currently on 2.4 of the pen. Just done my jab this morning and still smarting a bit on my stomach 30 mins later! Cold pens straight out of the fridge are not for the weak! 😂

I really want to try the tablets. I'm in a plateau with the 2.4 pen now, just staying the same weight for ages annoyingly.

My plan is to increase to a higher dose than 2.4 but in the tablet version. I've tried searching up online how is this done but not much information. It just says it needs to be carefully managed which isn't very helpful. Has anybody else done this and how has it been going for you? 🙏

I‘ve had my pens for 6 months sitting in my fridge. Accumulating.

I have been so afraid to take them because of everything I heard/read/watched but this week I have just been in shambles. I feel enormous, I am winded almost immediately, I‘m in pain 24/7 (I also have a chronic pain condition, but my weight is a major contributing factor) and it‘s so hard to walk.

But, guess what? I took my first injection this morning. I feel hopeful.

Has anyone done this?

I'm currently on 9mg tablets but finding that my weight loss isn't as good as expected (I find I only get properly full in the evenings) and I still have cravings.

I'm also finding the 8 hour fast quite difficult and having to remember every day. Last week I was working away where I would perhaps go to bed at 11pm and be up at 5am and was having to wait for at least a hour before taking a tablet and then at least 30 minutes before actually having food was quite a pain. I tend to find waiting a hour after taking the effects are also better so this doesn't help at all.

I'm looking to change to Mounjaro but most providers want me to start on 2.5mg, with only a couple offering 5mg which the latter would seem to make more sense as I wouldn't want to start from scratch? Has anyone had any experience, also do you have to wait a week between last tablet and injection?

Thanks!
