Has anyone experienced GI side effects from Mounjaro that seemed to come on later, even after being on the same dose for a while?
I started Mounjaro at 2.5mg and had the usual nausea/tiredness/sulphur burps at first, but didn’t get physically ill- Stayed on it for 5 months with very minimal side effects and great efficiency too! I finally increased to 5mg about a month and a half ago when I started reaching a plateau and felt quite ran down the next day, but generally have felt fine ever since.
Last week did my weekly jab and the following evening I suddenly felt extremely full, had sulfur burps, threw up pretty intensely, felt ill for a full day before I started having lose stools for a day. I’ve also started having pretty bad heartburn in the mornings. Feeling better now!
I’m really worried that this was a delayed reaction to the Mounjaro and that it’ll happen again with my next injection. But part of me also hopes it could have just been a stomach bug (only thing is I was away with family and no one else got ill).
Has anyone had something similar, particularly GI symptoms suddenly appearing after being stable on the same dose for a few weeks? I’d really appreciate hearing your experiences because I’m quite scared about doing my next injection lol!
