For Type 2 Diabetes "I took my first injection three days ago in my stomach. The day after, I spent in and out of bed due to severe nausea and a pit in my stomach, as if I had overeaten. I also experienced diarrhea. I tried drinking a protein shake, electrolytes, ginger chews, famotidine, and Zofran, and even smelled alcohol pads, but it only helped a little. I couldn't eat until 24 hours later, and even then, I only managed to eat a few bites. Day 2 was better, and Day 3 was about the same as Day 2. I can't wait to feel better."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I have been taking Mounjaro for 3 months. At first, I was taking a low dose that was not working. So now, I take a 7:5 dose and it is working, but recently I am experiencing side effects like nausea, diarrhea, and bad constipation. The injection is working as I have lost weight. I was 296 pounds, and now I am down to 270 pounds. However, I don't know if I should continue the injection because of the side effects. Need help badly."

For Type 2 Diabetes "I used this for the first month at 2.5mg and did fine. Didn't really notice too much change and minimal impact on my sugar numbers. After 1 month, my doctor increased the dosage to 10mg. From that point, day 1 after my shot, I experience complete loss of appetite, chills, gastric pain. Days 2-4, I just had the loss of appetite and gastric pain, soft stools. Day 5 after my shot, loss of appetite, pain & diarrhea. The 6th day, some appetite back, less pain, no BM at all. Day of next injection was good, was able to eat more, no pain, normal BM. Day after 2nd shot at 10mg, is repeating again. I was losing some weight at the lower dosage but the sugar numbers weren't that much improved. On the higher dosage, I'm no longer losing weight but my sugars are more in line and coming down."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "This medicine has made me so sick. I will never take it again. I have not eaten in over five days. I am so weak, I feel like my blood sugar is low. I am not a diabetic, I only wanted to lose a few pounds. I have been sick, nauseous, vomiting, fatigue, diarrhea. Until I got everything out of my belly, my belly felt full, even when I did not eat. Constant belching. My food does not taste good. I am miserable. I’m sure it has great benefits. My other family members took it, as for me, whom is diabetic, extremely curvy, but just wanted to lose excess belly fat. I probably should’ve just gone to the gym, exercised more, or even worn a waist trainer. To me, in my opinion, it’s not worth it."
