"For a couple of months it was great. I was losing weight. But, my body is now doing a rejection of the drug. Nausea, vomiting, dizzy, and a change in my vision. I did lose 43 lbs. Wish I could have stayed with it. There are several drugs that my body has rejected after taking them over time."

"Moved from 2 mg to 5 mg. Three days later, I'm running to the bathroom, dark liquid, 10 times to the bathroom. Three hours later, it started easing up. Didn't eat for 5 hours so far, 7 Up and a few crackers. Start week Mon, 11 am, took shot 5 mg. It's Wednesday, and now it started."

"I have been great on Mounjaro, no side effects, and have lost 2 stone. It’s easy to inject and easy to follow instructions. You inject different sides each week. Just started 7.5."

"I’m a 68-year-old female and have lost 50 lbs from January to June 2025. Started with 5 mg injections and now am getting 15 mg injections once per week. Minimal side effects unless I eat too much or eat unhealthy foods - and then I will have nausea and/or diarrhea. The biggest benefit has been that my blood pressure went from approximately 140/90 or so to a very consistent 110/60 or slightly above that, but hasn’t been anywhere near 140/90 since a couple of weeks after I began the injections. The cost has been a bit prohibitive, and I’m hoping that I’ll be able to transition off after I reach my goal weight loss of 75 lbs (without too much weight gain) OR that there will be a generic available and covered by Medicare. I can also breathe much better after climbing stairs and feel so much healthier and am able to play with my grandkids much more! Thanks so much!"

"52 years old, 5 ft 6 inches, female, gave birth naturally to 6 children, all now adults. Started in October 2024 at 91.4 kgs, waist at 104 cm, wearing size 14-16 clothes (Australian sizes). I read all the reviews (about 500) before I started and chose to mitigate adverse reactions: (ONLY Bioceuticals brands) I took powdered magnesium 3 times a week for muscle health, daily live probiotics for gut health, daily prebiome fiber in smooth and creamy Greek yogurt with berries and prunes for bowel health. Drank lots of water and ate smaller portions for dinner at about 5 pm. I don’t have time for exercise (although I had just done a whole year of 3 x personal training a week prior to starting MJO - only losing 4 kgs!). Fast forward to June 2025, I currently weigh… drum roll… 68 kgs! My waist is now 79 cms, my upper arms have lost 6 cms, hips lost 14 cms. I am wearing size 10-12 and cannot be happier! Only occasionally did I get dizzy or constipated."

"I started the Mounjaro in September 2024. I lost 4 stone in 16 weeks. I had a break and started back on it in April 2025. In May 2025, I went to the GP with insomnia, and they did blood tests. I have found I have hyperthyroidism. I suffer from insomnia, rapid heart rate, palpitations, trembling hands, and muscle twitching. I am awaiting a scan on my thyroid and also other investigations. I am under an endocrinologist but have my appointment for October 2026."

"I used Mounjaro solely for weight loss. I did really well on it, although I am not diabetic. I did have a diagnosis of PreDM. I was able to get my A1c down to a normal number, and I lost around 50 lbs. I have not used the medication for close to two years now. I have been noticing A1c numbers creeping up, my weight as well."

"Started Dec 2024 and as of today June 2025 down 80 pounds! Started at 237 and now at 157. Have never had side effects and still on lowest dose 2.5. Have never had to go up to a higher dose. First month I lost about 25 pounds and then went down to losing 1-3 pounds every week. Every week is different but always lose some weekly. No cravings. Don’t eat much. A little bit of protein and veggies."

"According to the BMI, I was on the cusp of obesity at 189 pounds. Between January 2, 2025, and January 24, 2025, Mounjaro taken at 2.5 mg weekly injection enabled me to effortlessly drop from 188 to 171 pounds. A loss of 17 pounds in three weeks. After that, the weight loss continued much more slowly, despite upping the weekly dosage to 5 mg and then to 7.5 mg. It is now mid-June 2025, and I have lost 30 pounds. I am surprised at Mounjaro's effectiveness, and very grateful. While still on Mounjaro, in early June 2025, I somehow suddenly developed cellulitis of my left calf, which probably was not a function of the Mounjaro. I easily vanquished the cellulitis with systemic antibiotic cephalexin. I highly recommend Mounjaro!"

"The only time I've experienced vomiting was after eating greasy food then drinking wine, otherwise, none. I've had a little nausea, but nothing to concern me. I'm steadily losing weight, and in 11 weeks, I'm down 19 lbs with about 10 more to go until I'm at a healthier weight for my height. A couple of people have criticized me for using it, but I was using a calorie deficit and intermittent fasting while exercising every day, but just not losing anything, so I'm happy with my decision to start taking it."

"Side effect I’d say I’ve had is a little bit of diarrhea and nausea. I’ve been on it for over a year now. I’ve lost over 140 pounds, still have a lot more to go, but it also helps control my type two diabetes, brought my A1c down from 10.8 to 4.6. Very happy with that, but I just had to have my appendix out right away because it was just about to rupture. Never had a problem with it until recently, so a coincidence or is it the medicine? Who knows, but I do know that this medicine has been a godsend for me. I do have gastroparesis along with IBS, and I tried to take Ozempic before this, and it about killed me, so an ambulance had to come and get me on the Ozempic. I do know I’m able to handle Mounjaro a lot easier on my system. If it wasn’t for Mounjaro, I don’t know where I’d be with my health right now, trying to raise three kids under the age of 14. So thank you."

"I started taking Mounjaro for weight loss. I had no side effects on 2.5 mg and 5 mg. Weight loss was consistent at 1 kg per week. On 2.5 mg I still had an appetite and had no trouble eating moderately. On 5 mg I began to experience total loss of appetite. On W1 of 7.5 mg I awoke with extreme nausea, but other than that I was okay. On W2 of 7.5 mg I got very ill. I took the injection on Tuesday. By Wednesday night I vomited once. On Thursday, I started feeling nauseous with an egg-like aftertaste. By evening I was suffering from extreme diarrhea - every 20 to 30 minutes through the night. My stomach sounded full of sloshing water and gas and periodic large burps. On Friday I felt very dehydrated. I stayed in bed, sipped only water and diarrhea subsided. On Saturday I ate breakfast and a small amount of food for lunch. Saturday night diarrhea and vomiting again. It’s now Sunday and I feel weak and will not be taking 7.5 mg again. I will take a rest for a week before decreasing the dose to 5 mg to see how I go."

"I started taking Mounjaro in September. Start weight was 183. I was miserable. I tried it after talking to a friend and still take injections for maintenance for weight loss. I am currently at my goal weight 115. Life changing."

"I am only in the first week and have found I am eating less, not craving any snacks, and feel satisfied. I haven’t weighed myself yet, but I’m sure I’ve lost weight already. I have had no side effects at all, and I’m starting out on the 2.5 dose."

"I am 56 years old and I weighed 343 lbs, and my height is 6 ft. tall when I asked my doctor about using Mounjaro. I was a type 2 diabetic. I wore a size 50 pants and a 4 XL shirt. Started Mounjaro a year and six months ago along with a low carb diet. I walked on the treadmill 1 to 3 miles 3 times a week. As of today, I've lost 134 lbs and wear a size 32 to 34 pants. My shirts are large to extra large. I am able to jog and not walk. My A1c is 4.5 to 5.4, down from 7. All around better quality of life thanks to Mounjaro. I wished there was a way to post my pictures of my before and after on here. But I just wanted to share, and if my 56-year-old self can do it, anyone can. God bless."

"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."
