For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "This medication has been a huge blessing in my life. Started at the lowest dose in August of 2022. Increased each month to the highest dose and have stayed there for 3 months now. It's May of 2023, and I have lost 80 pounds! I was pre-diabetic, depressed, and hopeless. I've had a bit of stomach upset, diarrhea, heartburn, gas... nothing terrible. But I feel so much better. My joints don't hurt hardly at all, I have more confidence to go places and talk to people and do stuff outside, and I even sleep better. I was looking into bariatric surgery before I found Mounjaro. I'm so glad I didn't have to do that."

For Type 2 Diabetes "Female age 56. Started Mounjaro for type 2 diabetes in February 2022. Start weight was 249 pounds. Today, my weight is 162, down a total of 87 pounds! No more high blood pressure or high cholesterol. My lower back pain that prevented me from walking for more than 5 minutes is gone. I no longer get out of breath just trying to do normal everyday things. I was very depressed and miserable due to the struggle of trying to live life being so overweight and basically semi-handicapped. I was very introverted and unhappy overall for decades due to being overweight and countless attempts to lose weight and not able to be successful and continued to gain. Now I can walk for miles on end without any pain. I can do things I did 25 years ago. I got my life back. Wish this drug was around many years ago but better late than never. I am on a 15mg dosage. If I get nausea the day after the shot, I take a couple of tums and it’s gone. I take a stool softener to combat hard stools and it does the trick."

For Type 2 Diabetes "I saw this medication on TikTok and decided to try it. Started on 2.5 mg on 9/23/22 at 204 pounds. Had some chills and started feeling a little off, lightheaded, metallic taste in mouth, major loss of appetite, increased anxiety. Continued through the 2.5 mg then moved up to 5.0 mg. On my 4th injection of 5.0 mg, my life flipped upside down. This medication caused me some serious side effects, syncope, dehydration, electrolytes to be out of sync, chest pain, and one heck of a panic attack while at work, I had to be rushed to the ER. Very scary and thankful I was not driving when it happened. I've stopped the medication immediately. I want to feel normal again. Down to 190 pounds now, not worth the risk."

For Type 2 Diabetes "My endo doctor asked me to try the shot. At first, I said no. But she convinced me that we could get my A1C down. It was just under 9 at that time. I started the shot the 2nd week of October 2024. The first 2 months, it was just feeling nauseous. That was 2.5 mg. Here it is March 2025, I've lost 46 lbs. That to me is great. I had no idea about the weight loss when I started! Latest blood work, A1C is 6.4!! I now don't have to take Januvia or glipizide. Another plus! I am now on 7.5 mg. The only thing I've noticed, well, 2 things: I've developed eczema, bad. Currently waiting for my dermatology appointment. The other problem is depression. At least that is my thought, I've not had any ambition or 'get up and go,' which could be from the increase to 7.5 mg. I'm going to stick with it though. I'll stay at my current dose for a couple of months. I'm very happy with my morning finger pokes, I've been 92 to 103 every morning. Very pleased with the medication!"

For Type 2 Diabetes "Be careful when deciding to take this medication. I advise you to speak first with your doctor, and if you could find another way to lose weight, you should decide to go with something else. The side effects for some people are almost unbearable. I was 100% healthy before taking this. Now my blood sugar levels are low, I cannot wait for this to leave my system. It’s hard to work out, I feel awful. Ever since I stopped taking it, since my sugar levels are low, I have to eat more sugar, and it’s hard to eat. I feel nauseous, and it’s so hard to start the day feeling like this. Please beware, I know of people that are not even eating while taking this because they lost their appetite, and they have to blend their food because it won’t go down. The side effects at the beginning for many people are really awful. If you have to work and be productive, don’t take this medicine, you will regret it."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I feel amazing on Mounjaro. I feel as though my body is “back in tune,” and the weight comes off steadily. I’m just never hungry, but I do eat. It doesn’t take much for me to feel full once I do eat. 23 pounds lighter and 10 more to go."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I just wanted to give an update on my success on Mounjaro. I've been on it for 18 months. I continue to lose weight slowly. No problem with the shot. I've lost a total of 118 pounds. I went from a size 22 to a size 2. I do Weight Watchers app online for the accountability. And walk 5-8 miles a day. My doctor thinks I should be her spokesperson in her office for the new patients going on it to give them motivation. But can't with HIPAA. I'm okay with her giving them my name and everything, but she can't. It's funny when I'm out in public and people are not sure if it's me or not. But it sure makes me feel good. I just know when people do ask how I've lost weight, and I tell them. I say with diet, exercise, and I have diabetes. I also take Mounjaro, but it's not a miracle drug."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "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."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I have been on Mounjaro for 7 weeks now and have lost 1 and a half stone. I was always tired, and my feet and back were killing me due to being overweight. Since taking this drug, I have only experienced feeling cold and the odd headache here and there. The positive side to taking Mounjaro is I no longer have menopausal hot sweats at night and can jog up my stairs without breathlessness, constant food cravings are gone, and I feel genuinely happier. I drink plenty of water as recommended, as this seems to help with weight loss. Overall, Mounjaro has changed my life for the better."

For Type 2 Diabetes "I don’t have diabetes. I may have insulin resistance. I’m taking this for weight loss. BMI 48. Took the first dose, a sample dose, five days ago. I didn’t even feel the needle. Within a day of the injection, I started having pain in my low back, in the tailbone area, squeezing muscle pain when standing or walking. The pain goes away after a few minutes of sitting or lying down. (I had similar pain when taking Belviq. I don’t normally have back pain.) I also have some intermittent mild itching at wrists, ankles. I still think about food all the time, but I’m not actually interested in eating it. Someone brought me a quarter-pounder sandwich for supper. I had to cut it in half, and then I shared my half with the cat. There’s cake in the refrigerator, and I haven’t touched it. I’m hungriest in the mid-morning now and today had 1 low carb tortilla, one link turkey sausage, a slice of cheese, cilantro, and a bowl of watermelon."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "Mounjaro has been a lifesaver for me. I am fortunate enough to not have many side effects. In the beginning, I would get gas and stomach cramping, but I have learned what foods seem to cause that and now avoid them. It is so nice to be able to get through the day with my brain not constantly telling me to eat."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "Fortunately, I did not experience any side effects until I got to 10 mg. I began having a reaction at the injection site and suffered a little blurred vision occasionally. I am now on my first week of 12.5 mg and find that 3 days after taking the injection, I am having pains (like muscle strain or a trapped nerve) in various and multiple places. This has been the case for 4 days now, so I am a bit dubious about taking my second injection tomorrow. However, I have lost 3 stone over 17 weeks, so for me, positive outweighs the negative as I was morbidly obese. Any thoughts on these pains I am having, please?"

For Type 2 Diabetes "Started at the 2.5 level and lost some weight (15 lbs.). Sugars are down as well. Greasy foods are not recommended. Went to the 5.0 level and everything dairy went bad... sours on the stomach badly and quickly. Ate too much one night and got very ill, vomiting and diarrhea all night along with serious gas from both ends! I don't like that I can't have my dairy, even tried Lactaid to no avail. Also, there seems to be a metallic taste in my mouth most of the time."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I am 74 years old. I was thin until I was 40. Started eating all the wrong food as my husband showed his love with food. I started Mounjaro last year in October. I didn't lose any weight for the first 2 months. I lost 5 lbs in the third month. Then I started losing more. I went from 175 to 115 by August. I never wake up at night and started having a problem making it to the bathroom to pee 3 times a week. I called my doctor and she lowered my Mounjaro dosage to 10 mg and I was fine. I stopped taking Mounjaro last month. Mounjaro makes you just not hungry. I learned to be picky about what I ate. I chose healthy food and feel lighter. I have learned to be healthy and thin. Yes, I am short at 5ft 3 inches and happy to have taken Mounjaro."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "The injection is great for weight loss. I lost 45 lbs in about 9 months. Don't taper up every month. Only go up and stay at that dose as long as possible. Involve a nutritionist or dietitian to help you from the beginning understand how to approach food so you can get off the med. I'm barely eating anything, and when I tried stopping, the appetite comes back ferociously. I am now considered anorexic and having the nutritionist help me taper off the med. I pray it works and I don't put too much weight back on but can eat healthily."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I am starting my 3rd month on Mounjaro. I have been overweight/obese most of my adult life. I have lost some weight but not as much as I expected. I feel terrible - I suffer with exhaustion, constipation, indigestion, depression, and nausea. I just do not feel good. It has sucked the joy out of my life. I used to exercise much more when I was not taking Mounjaro. I don't want to do anything. I am wondering if it is worth it?"

For Type 2 Diabetes "This medication has been life-changing. Started with 2.5 mg and now at 5 mg. A bit of constipation and nausea, but nothing major. I started at 288 lbs and now at 236 lbs. I am a male, 5’11”. I hope I can get to my goal of 190 lbs in a few months. Working out, walking, and avoiding carbs is key. No fried foods or heavy carb meals, or you will pay a price. Lots of protein, lean meats, and veggies/berries. Good luck, everyone."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "Before I started Mounjaro in December 2024, I was miserable and very unhappy at 210 pounds. All my blood tests were negative, and my diabetes was on the border. After I kept going to the injections at the beginning, I ate and didn’t lose much, but after I moved to 7.5, I lost 60 pounds without any problems. I just don’t want to eat large portions. The happiest I have ever been. This was the best thing for me after trying everything for many years and failing. As a result of my blood tests, I have diabetes and my A1C is normal. Right now, I will stay on this for another year."

For Type 2 Diabetes "I know this med doesn't work for everyone, and some people have some pretty horrific side effects. Luckily, I am one of those people who it DOES work for. In 4 months, went from A1C of 7.5 to 5.0. All of my other regular labs are in normal range. Going off atorvastatin (10 mg for cholesterol) and lisinopril (10 mg for high blood pressure) soon. Also, lost 45 lbs. The only side effect worth mentioning is constipation, but I think I finally have a handle on that (with magnesium supplement). Started on 2.5 mg for 8 shots, 5.0 mg the rest of the time. My biggest problem is supply issues. I have a prescription for 7.5 mg but haven't been able to find any yet. Shortage is supposedly ending, so hopefully that will be resolved soon."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "In the beginning, I weighed 340 lb and was a heavy drinker with lots of beer. When I started Mounjaro, I was a little bit skeptical and nervous about the side effects and results. My work is primarily sitting in a chair behind a computer and interacting through Teams with coworkers. I noticed a huge change after 1 year, now that I lost almost 110 lb and am feeling extremely motivated to do every energy activity around the house, going out more frequently outdoors or just to the city! It's been a life change for me, and I would strongly recommend this product to anyone, with, of course, the guidance of a doctor!"

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "In October 2022, I was pre-diabetic. My daughter had good luck with Mounjaro, so I went to my doctor to ask her if it might work for me. I am a 65-year-old female. I am 5'2" tall and weighed 182 lbs and wear size 16. I started Mounjaro in the middle of October 2022. Today, April 27, 2023, I weigh 122 lbs and wear a size 4. I am now just trying to maintain my weight. The side effect that I experienced was constipation, as I would only have a bowel movement once a week. I rarely experience hunger and have to remind myself to eat. I do not crave sugar or any other food. I started on the 2.5 mg dosage for a couple of months and then went to the 5 mg dosage for two months. I have been on 7.5 mg for the last few months. I stopped my acid reflux medicine last month and have not experienced any acid reflux since I stopped it. I have so much more energy now and feel great. I would highly recommend Mounjaro, it has changed my life."

For Type 2 Diabetes "I began my journey 08/23/22. As of 01/17/23, I am down 55 lbs. I have had no issues. I truly have little to no desire to eat. I have to force myself to eat. My blood sugar is now normal to the low end. I really hope that insurance will kick in before the coupon is no longer effective. I am stunned by how well this has worked. I have tried other meds, and nothing has come close. I am 11 lbs from my goal weight. I think I am going to have to readjust my goal. Yay!"
