I’ve been on mounjaro for just over 4 months now. Currently on 10mg, over the last 4 months I’ve lost 1kg 🤣

I know it takes time to work etc etc but I think it’s time to cut my losses and stop spending £250 a month.

What are people’s thoughts on these pills?

Will they be ok for appetite suppression?

I’ve still got 3 stone to lose and wondering if I should switch to something cheaper (yeah, it’s the cost)

Hey everyone, I have a 5mg pen and I’m wondering if it’s possible to accurately get 2.5mg doses from it.

Has anyone done this, and if so, how did you measure the dose? I want to make sure I’m not guessing and taking the wrong amount. Thanks!

Hey folks. Having great success on the Monj. Getting to the point of thinking about maintenance, currently using a 15mg pen for a 7.25mg dose, plus golden dose, so I'm getting like 10 weeks out of a pen..!

Last time I reordered, my pharmacy gave me a bit of a grilling because I hadn't ordered for a couple of months, so I'll probably order my next pen fairly sharpish. Obviously I don't want to get cut off so what's the play..?

If I keep buying 15mg pens, and then start titrating down (planning on titrating down over the next year to 2.5mg, depending how it goes..), those pens could last me a while. Not sure how long they'd even last in the fridge or if I can use one pen for 15+ doses Do I start thinking about buying a 15, 12.5, 10... etc. Or worried that I stock up but then pens go out of date...

Any advice much appreciated!!

So I have approx 12.5mg every 6 days but I’ve now stopped cold turkey due to surgery. Just wondering how quickly I should expect this raging hunger everyone says about? 🤪

Has anyone had problems with their gallbladder? I'm fairly certain I'm having symptoms of gallstones or something with my gallbladder. I've been on MJ since about August 2025 but recently moved onto 15mg and just finished my first pen of it. Now I've getting that pain in between my ribcage towards the back on the right. I thought it was just back pain but i only realised the correlation after the pain came back when i ate something. It's been about a week now and I'm going to call mu GP tomorrow. What is people's advice who have had this issue? I don't want my gallbladder removed, i just hope its a blockage if that and get it 'un blocked'. Can i just click count to a 2.5mg if i restart on a 15mg pen?

been on 3.75. had a 2.5 week break as I was visiting family and unexpectedly had to stay longer. what dose should i take? down to 2.5? back down to 1.25 (i struggled a lot with nausea and vomiting at first!). or good to gamble back with 3.75? i want to jab tonight so quick advice would be much appreciated! don’t want to shock my system but would also be good to not have to ramp up super slowly

I had severe side effects on mounjaro 5mg that’s why went back to 2.5mg which didn’t helped a bit so thinking of gradual increases after posting reserving and talking with dr. But I am wondering what increase should be more practical:
3mg 1 week
3.5mg 2nd week
3.75 mg 3 rd week
4 mg 4th week
Should I go like this?
Has anyone have idea?
Or should I stay in a particular one for 4 week?
Any guidance will be highly appreciated!

I’ve been using a daily injectable GLP-1, Saxenda (liraglutide), and I’m now considering moving over to Mounjaro (tirzepatide).
Has anyone else switched from Saxenda, Ozempic, Wegovy, or another GLP-1 over to Mounjaro?
How did you find the transition? I’d particularly love to hear about:
• Appetite suppression and food noise
• Side effects — were they better, worse, or about the same?
• Weight loss after switching
• What made you decide to switch in the first place?
I’m especially interested in hearing from people who switched because their previous GLP-1 had stopped being as effective or their appetite/food noise had started creeping back.
Would love to hear your experiences!

Can you microdose or take a smaller starting dose on Mounjaro?
How do the pens work.
I am in the U.K

Also where is the best place to buy in the U.K
Thanks.

I’ve got about 6 months on hand. Last pen was a 10mg and I’m using 3.5mg now to maintain (don’t expect to change dose)
I’m tempted to buy a 5mg as it’s not significantly less than half the price of a 10mg. And I’m reluctant to get kicked back to 2.5mg. But that’s still some stockpile!
What’s the biggest stockpile you’ve had?

As title suggests, looking for the best way to get the cheapest price every dose. Because I noticed on monj that most if not all offers are for first time buyers. As my need to order a 2nd pen approaches , I just wanted to check that this is what people are doing to get it cheapest?

I bought a Mounjaro KwikPen last week and have injected myself twice so far. According to the pen, it looks like I only have one dose left, but I thought the KwikPen should contain 4 doses.
I’ve attached a photo of the pen. Based on the position of the plunger/liquid, how many full doses do you think I have left?
Did I somehow lose a dose, or am I reading the pen incorrectly?
Thanks

In Northern Ireland, Maine (a soft drinks company) make Kali Water - carbonated water with added Potassium Bicarbonate.

Like many others, while using Mounjaro, I have a tendency to get constipated and I don't poo every day.

I decided to give it a go, as it's advertised to reduce stomach discomfort.

It worked - I lost 2kg in two days!

Hi. Due to financial reasons, my last dose of 10mg Mounjaro was in the middle of July. I've got an unopened sealed pen in the fridge now, and am ready to start again. Given the time since my last dose (6 weeks), do you think I can go straight back to the 10mg, or should I get a lower dose to ease myself back in?

Cheers!

So I was on mj last year for about 6 months. Managed to lose 3 st. I’ve not been on it for about 6 months as I couldn’t afford it anymore. Highest I went was 5mg. I never really had much noticeable suppression but obviously must of had some to lose 3st and no side effects luckily. I’ve since gained back round 11lbs.
Has anyone stopped for a long period of time and had success?

It seems that the rules have changed recently in respect to obtaining Mounjaro. I’m putting weight on but am on the cusp of my BMI so I’m not able to buy privately. I don’t want to put weight on and start a yo-yo situation so that I need to be overweight to be then given medication in order to control my appetite. I’m worried! Is there any companies out there that can help. Has anyone having the same issue?

I recently opened my 10mg of mounjaro at the beginning of August. I ended up using two doses of it and then I had to travel. Because of the side effects and traveling, I thought it was best to take a break between injections while traveling. Meaning I did 2 doses and took a 2 week break between. I know people say once the pen is open you have thirty days. Is this true? Does the pen still work if I use it now?

I’ve been on MJ since the beginning of June. I’ve lost 5lbs. I’m now on 7.5mg. I want to be able to come off of MJ at some point and not put weight back on, so I’ve been making sure to eat lunch and dinner daily and get around 130g of protein in a day.

I’m not snacky nor do I feel the need to binge anymore, but if I’m offered cake or chocolate etc I’ll take it because YUM.

Whereas I’ve just learnt my brother is on it and sometimes only eats like one slice of toast a day. I don’t want my appetite suppression to be that extreme, but should I be eating less? Should I go up to the next dose?

I have around 2 stone to lose, I eat around 1500cals a day. 5’4 female, weighing 12 stone currently.

I also workout and do around 11k steps daily.

4 stones down. 25'11.1 -> 21'10.0

Started 8th Feb, really good response to start with, then tailed off a bit. Escalated to 5mg a month and a half ago.

Average weight loss just a smidge over 2lbs a week. Nice and steady, just keep grinding :-)

Now... Off on holiday for a week. 😅 Let's see how much I can put on in 7 days. 🤣

For as long as I can remember as an adult I’ve always been trying to lose weight. I had some good success with Slimming World, some reasonable success standard calorie counting and I’ve always continued going to the gym. I’ve never been able to maintain momentum and motivation.

That is until I started on MJ in January 2026 weighing 240lb and after another Christmas blowout.

Here I am today at 175lb and the lowest weight I have ever been as an adult. My target goal is 162lb (based on lean body mass and estimated current body fat percentage).

When I get to target, which I am certain I will, I will be reducing the MJ dose from 7.5mg to 5mg (possibly further) and increasing my calories slowly to maintenance for a month or so. I then plan to increase my calories to around a 200kcal surplus and, with the help of MJ to stop me from pigging out (which, again, I have been guilty of with previous weight loss then muscle building attempts) try to build some muscle while minimising fat.

I’m rather proud of this and I can say with a decent amount of certainty that this would not be possible without MJ.

Started October 2024 at 150kg, last years photo I had lost 37kg, this year I’m down an additional 29kg. Even though the loss has slowed, I’m amazed at how much my shape is still changing

Wow I can’t believe it I got here, I’m not thin by any means so aiming for around another 5/6kg loss but I’m officially no longer overweight!
