For Type 2 Diabetes "I started taking Mounjaro on 9/1. This resulted in the very worst month of my life. WEEK ONE - Super Nauseous, indigestion, stomach pain for 3-4 days of the first week. My appetite went from a 10 to a 2 (which was good). WEEK TWO - I had diarrhea for 3-4 days, along with sulfur belches, nausea, stomach pain. I ended up having to take sick days and go get an IV bag to recover from the dehydration. WEEK THREE - World-class nausea and vomiting. 3 days of vomiting so hard that I ruptured my esophagus. The entire month, if I was not having diarrhea, I was VERY constipated. I lost 9 lbs in one month, but I don't know if it was because I could barely eat due to the sickness. PASS!!"

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I've been on Mounjaro for over two years. I'm part of a study for mortality and morbidity for clients with risk for heart attacks. Criteria included obesity, high cholesterol, and HTN. Within six weeks of starting Mounjaro, I was off my BP medication. Over the first year, I lost 70 pounds. The side effects that I experienced early on were indigestion and belching. That resolved after about three months. The biggest side effect for me is constipation. Learning how to manage constipation is important. My Mounjaro is on hold now because of extremely elevated amylase and lipase 10 times the normal level. I was asymptomatic for nausea, vomiting, or abdominal pain, which I'm thankful for. While I've been off for over a month, my digestive enzymes have normalized, and my pancreas appears normal via ultrasound. However, I'm anxious to get back on Mounjaro, perhaps at half the dose 7.5 mg because I again am having food cravings, I feel hungry all the time, and have gained about 10 pounds off the medicine. I believe the side effects for me are less worrisome."

For Type 2 Diabetes "I experienced some nausea, had severe stomach pains at times, vomiting, indigestion, and terrible sulfur burps. The appetite suppression is amazing, as I felt like a normal person not feeling hungry all the time. After my 2nd shot and even worse side effects, I told my doctor I noticed my eyes had jaundice, so he told me to stop taking it. It did lower my blood sugar levels, and I'm so disappointed my body couldn't tolerate this medication, as it would have helped me lose weight."

For Type 2 Diabetes "Began in March 2023. I have very little appetite and eat but experience lots of shakiness. At first, it caused severe belching and indigestion, especially in my upper mid/right back, but it has gone away, shakiness has increased. I still feel fatigued, hoping that will go away!"
