For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I have always been a chubby girl. Since I've hit 29 years old, I have now had trouble losing the extra pounds. I was at 206 lb at 5'8" on June 20th, 2025. I started Mounjaro and lost a whopping 14 lb in only 7 weeks on the 2.5 mg dose. I have since stopped, as the only thing it did for me was get rid of food noise, which, to be honest, food was never my issue. I don't eat terribly, and believe the weight was stress and wine! I would only suggest this medication for those who need to lose over 100 lb. If you're only trying to shed 20-50, it is not worth the side effects. It started with anxiety, stomach pain, diarrhea, and then slowly got less and less. However, I could not shake the mental effects. For some weird reason, it gave me brain zaps. I have also now been diagnosed with gallstones. I have since stopped med, and continued to lose weight! Meaning, you CAN do it, but you need to have discipline. My takeaway is this: UNLESS you have a hormonal imbalance or you are 300 lb+, do not bother."

"Loved Mounjaro, have lost a lot of weight (80 lbs) total. Was on Ozempic for the first 50 lbs, then switched to Mounjaro. Side effects: diarrhea, constipation (which have been doable), but recently gallstones and diverticulitis."

For Type 2 Diabetes "On 7.5 g Mounjaro. Blood sugar numbers came down. Weight did not. Experienced many of the more common side effects, e.g., diarrhea, gas, increased GERD. Ate less, watched protein intake closely. Experienced acute pancreatitis that was caused by gallstones, including one that blocked a biliary duct. After gallbladder surgery, my primary care physician decided to take me off Mounjaro permanently. I want to stress that I do NOT believe the drug had a thing to do with the pancreatitis, as I had the gallstone symptoms far longer than I was taking Mounjaro."
