"Been taking 2.5 ml for only 3 weeks now but have lost nearly 6 kg. I had one mouth ulcer the first week and one the second but none since, so possibly not related. The beginnings of constipation this week, but I increased my fiber intake, and I am now fine. No stomach cramping, but I was recommended to take a magnesium supplement before starting Mounjaro to head those off. I continue to take it. No cramping so far. No other symptoms. I do have Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity, high cholesterol, and fatty liver disease. I simply had to lose weight. I have given up smoking 3 times in the past 4 years and gained 10 kg every time. (I don't smoke now.) I am 59. This medication is saving my life. If I lose weight again this week, I will stay on the low dose for another month. Appetite suppression has been very strong since week 1. The KWIK pen is so simple and pain-free. I live in Australia."

"So far, I have lost weight, just not the amount I need to lose. I need to lose another 50 pounds. I have been exercising along with using Mounjaro. I feel that my weight loss has plateaued, like I am at a standstill in my weight loss journey. I do not know what to do to get it where I start losing weight again!"

"It made me really panicky, anxious. Also, I had a fast heart rate, ended up in A&E with tachycardia. It was not a good experience."

"I have had 5 doses, I am on the 6th dose of 12.5 mg. It has worked amazingly well. I have had little side effects and feeling great."

"My experience has been a positive one. I started Mounjaro in hopes of losing weight and getting my A1C under 6.1. In 8 months, going up to 12.5 mg and a very strict diet and a very regimented exercise routine, I have lost a total of 85 lbs. My A1C is down to 4.5. I have not been the weight I am since junior high and feel amazing. It is a constant job, Mounjaro does work, but you also need good eating habits and a good exercise routine for when the Mounjaro ends."

"I have used Ozempic, Saxenda, and Wegovy and changed due to shortages, nausea, or not getting results. Been on Mounjaro for 1 month at 2.5. I have lost 2.8 kilos. No nausea and no desire to eat or pig out. My IBS/bloating has significantly reduced too. However, I eat small, healthy meals of protein, salads, and some fruit. I am very conscious of eating nutritious food and drinking lots of water. Mounjaro is expensive (in Australia), but it so far is the best product for me."

"Slow progress on medication. Down 5 lbs in 5 weeks. Side effects are not fun, but worth it to help my fatty liver."

"I have been taking medication for 16 weeks and lost 35 lbs. I have had some problems with stomach issues, but they come and go. I have had some constipation and diarrhea with the increase and the start of taking the medication. Sometimes it can be bad, but for the most part, I feel like the med is working."

"My experience has been mostly positive, its efficacy has only just become apparent since beginning the 10 mg level, though. Even though I enjoy a high-fiber diet with nuts and seeds, constipation is a negative regarding Mounjaro, though. I am happy to eat mostly cheese, eggs, tomatoes, peppers, and a great deal of natural Greek yogurt. I would normally eat more fruit and veg, and usually would enjoy whole wheat bread sandwiches, but I simply can't eat what I don't fancy. I will say that my weight loss has been very slow with Mounjaro, perhaps this is not a bad thing in some respects. However, I must add that there was a period when I gained weight. I have had no unpleasant side effects whatsoever. Re: Ease of use, my daughter comes to my home to inject me. Prior to Mounjaro, I used Wegovy, which was effective for a time."

"I have had zero side effects. I notice that I don’t have sugar/carbs cravings that I had prior. I’ve lost 30 lbs in 9 weeks. I’m targeting another 20. I’m not certain what follows that period - stop drug or go on maintenance?"

"My experience with Mounjaro has been incredible. I started with 2.5 ml = 4/wk., 5 ml = 4/wk, 7.5 ml 4/wk (nausea with higher doses, no side effects). It's given me my life back. I have lost 15 kilos; I was 85 kilos, high cholesterol. I lost my appetite completely, eating only pears for breakfast, black coffee, steamed green veggies, and chicken. I have no dairy, takeout, or alcohol. Drinking a lot of water is essential, at least 3 liters or more per day. My body took four weeks to show any results; my body measurements changed first. I noticed in the 5th week, after a weekend, I had dropped 6 kg. My face became thinner, and someone said, 'You're shrinking.' I found it easier to drink fluids than eat food; it completely shut off my hunger. I had to make myself eat a savory biscuit. It was expensive! (No concession) Remember, everyone is different. I do have PHI, although they are ending the benefit due to the expense not being sustainable. I am strength training to gain muscle."

"I have been struggling with my weight since I was 16. I quit smoking, had two children, entered menopause, and my weight became uncontrollable (my blood tests have always been perfect). I found the strength to start dieting a couple of times a year but hit rock bottom in March, 48 years old, 107 kgs. Depressed and unable to start -again- the keto diet (it works very well for me), I asked for help and was put on antidepressants and Mounjaro. A real game changer. I started the diet with no willpower, no bad feelings, no cravings, no need for self-control, just naturally. I got into ketosis easily and quickly. As a side effect, I have slight nausea a couple of days after the injection. No big deal, as it helps with the diet. No more food noise, I am able to think and prepare my meals without rushing, and so far, I have lost 6 kg in 14 days. I plan to continue for as long as I can and then stop and get my weight under control. We'll see."

"I have been using a 5 mg dose for just over 12 months and have lost 33 kg. I have had no side effects and am feeling fabulous. I am weaning off it slowly now."

"Mounjaro Review - A Life-Changing Experience. I've been on Mounjaro for almost a year, and I have never been happier. I've lost 70 pounds, and I feel and look great! I haven't experienced any side effects, and while I can eat anything I want, I simply don't have the same appetite as before. Interestingly, I used to enjoy a glass or two of wine weekly, but I no longer have cravings for it, and I'm perfectly happy about that. I also stay active by swimming a few times a week, which has helped me maintain my progress. Bottom line: Mounjaro works! I plan to stay on it as long as I can because it has truly transformed my life."

"When I weighed 212 lbs at 5’1”, I was facing breast reduction surgery, A1c was over 8, I was on Metformin and on multiple antidepressants. My doctor started me on Mounjaro at increasing doses. Now, just about 8 months later, my A1c is 6, I no longer need Metformin and I currently weigh 135 lbs…I’ve lost a whopping 77 lbs! I feel great! The side effects have been… little to no appetite, nausea for two to three days after injection, constipation… all easily managed. Mounjaro has changed my life, and I would do it all over again!"

"I started taking Mounjaro for weight loss and also for type 2 diabetes. I started taking it in February 2024. I have lost 124 lbs total. It has been a lifesaver, but I have been experiencing a lot of side effects lately. I am not sure if it is due to the medicine or something else. I have been sick also, so it could be that. I cannot walk without severe exhaustion and vomiting sometimes. I have trouble breathing most of the time. Even though I have lost all of this weight and I am the smallest I have ever been, I feel sicker than I ever have been. I just wonder if anyone else feels like this? I don't know why I feel so bad."

"Just took my 4th shot yesterday, so far, very few side effects. I have already noticed I'm not eating as much. So far, it seems to have cut my appetite between 1/4 and 1/2, and I have to remind myself to eat little things throughout the day. But other than that, I have already lost about 23 lbs, and I feel good. I started out weighing 298, down to 275 as of now. I move up to the next dose starting next week. Will update again as I go along. Fingers crossed the weight loss and diabetes continue to stay under control, as I have a lot to lose and so, so much to gain at this point."

"I started out one month ago on the lowest dose of 2.5. I could tell after a few weeks that my hunger had diminished a bit, and I felt a lot less bloated. By the 4th week, I was feeling extremely cold and fatigued and had lost 5 lbs. I just started this week on the next dosage of 5.0 and am hoping for more weight loss. I barely have an appetite, and nothing really sounds good to me other than apples. Thankfully, my glucose readings have come down, and I'm not needing as much insulin. I’m very hopeful that my A1C will be much better on my next labs."

"I've started Mounjaro 12 weeks ago, and I have lost a total of 14 kg only on 2.5 mg. I've had absolutely no side effects, on the contrary, I feel quite energetic since I started using it. My starting weight was 120 kg, so I have a long way to go still. I have now passed on to the 5 mg dose and hoping to continue losing 5 kg monthly on average until I reach my desired weight."

"I've just started my 5th week. I've lost 12 pounds, I feel so much happier. It reduces your hunger (and I can normally eat when full). I'm 59 and 3 stone overweight."

"In 2023, I began taking Mounjaro and went from the 2.5 dosage to 10. I lost almost 40 pounds and then couldn't get it anymore! I put on 22 pounds in about 6 weeks! When Mounjaro became available again, I started again and lost that 22 pounds plus 50 more pounds for a total of 72 pounds. I have NEVER had a single side effect and have used EMMA for any constipation (but I've always had trouble with constipation anyway!). My goal was to get to 125 pounds and then gain back 5 pounds because all my life I've heard that it's a good thing to do to fill out your face. It may be just an old wives' tale, but I now weigh 127 and that's my plan. I guess I should tell my age so that older individuals who have suffered from the highs and lows of dieting and never being successful long-term will realize that we too can lose weight and keep it off. 84."

"I started Mounjaro four days ago. Have lost 7.7 lbs!! Absolutely delighted with it. Zero side effects. Feel fuller for longer. Please remember to drink water/fluids on it as you forget with the feeling of fullness!"
