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 Type 2 Diabetes "I take Mounjaro 2.5 once a week. Have taken 4 times. Nausea and lost appetite getting worse. Lost 10 lb. My glucose was 140 and up, and a few times 180 before Mounjaro. The last 3 days I had 83, 89, and 90. I test first thing in the morning before eating. I feel bloated, nauseated, tired, no energy, and no appetite."

For Type 2 Diabetes "It's helping lower my A1C, it's also helping me manage my weight. The side effects that I'm experiencing are loss of appetite, I can't eat a lot of portions of food, mild cramping of the stomach, and I'm not sure if coughing is caused by this medication too. Because I have a mild cough with chest tightness from wanting to cough, mild dizziness at times."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I have had to stop. Cannot eat, close to vomiting, have lost 30 pounds. Dr. advised to stop, but I had already stopped 2 weeks ago as unable to eat. I was afraid to start the next box I had received. I am so weak I can barely walk. I do use a rollator to help me walk, but in the house I can hold onto furniture to help my balance."
