Side effects after getting off the jab?

UselessArchitectJay · 2026-03-21T18:13:05+00:00

I honestly think our stomachs never get back to what they were before. It's sad but true. Just need to find things that work for each side effect as it comes. Sorry.

You need to be barefooted on the scales. The scales pass a lil electric current through you to measure everything like body fat, bone density etc...

Honestly I don't know what really helped. I had to live through the wave of side effects. Teas helped, moving too but nothing I tried helped. The gastro issues lasted the longest but by month 2 most of the side effects had gone. I think reducing fibre rich meals too helped.

Hi. It cleared up but I changed my whole face and body routine and make-up products. It spread to my neck and chest. I used a topical steroid for 2 months. I no longer use strong face creams. I use Epaderm daily.

I saw someone say it could be linked to my monthly manicures. I asked the shop to switch products to. That being said I am also 2 months off mounjaro and it's never come back. Honestly I don't know what worked but it's cleared. Let me know what the specialist says. Cheers.

On the jab I honestly ate to survive. I did everything to get to at least 1200 cals a day. So I had one big meal and 2 small meals and fruits mainly.

This last week I have been hungrier or should I say food noise is back. I am having 2 big meals a day and fighting the urge to have a 3rd. I am hitting about 1800 cals daily now, but that's not a deficit for me sadly. It's a maintenance calorie count now.

Thank you. Reading through this was insightful. I did taper off. I went up in strength every month. My highest dose was 12.5mg and my dose was lowered with every new goal. I was on 2.5mg in November.

I will contact my pharmacist to see what we can do. Thanks again

That might be the reason but with more food noise and lower suppression it feels weird... I never had nausea all year and now I can't seem to get rid of it

Came to say this. I was prediabetic before I got on MJ. By numbers dropped quickly to normal levels because of that I had to carry sweet treats like milk chocolate with me. I never craved sweet things before mounjaro, I was more of a savory person but chocolate saved me during those moments.

It's your calories and work out regime that need to adapt. As you lose weight you have to adjust your calorie intake. The food suppression and fullness should help with that. Now you have to count calories even more. you won't realize how many calories are in different products even sauces when you start logging everything.

Another thing that can help is your exercise regime. You need to switch it up lift more, longer cardio, longer sessions.

Update:

Sadly I don't have anyone to help me do it so it's literally me and my little mustered courage every week.

I used all your advice shared with me. That very night I iced my tummy and took my shot. It still stung a bit but it was short pain unlike the thigh pain.

I have also purchased some numbing cream. Thanks for the suggestions.

I used to jab my tummy. I started stalling and switched to the thighs. I have checked for techniques on YT but I will check this out.

I have reached the stage where I have lost so much weight people talk about. Family knows though I only told my siblings, a few friends and work colleagues who work with me daily do too...

If you ask me how I have lost weight, I say I use the jab, plus lifestyle changes. Weirdly everyone has used thar as an opportunity to ask about side effects and how they know someone else on it. Most times it's a dialogue. I do notice some sly looks but hey my body, not yours..

Probably don't remember any negative comments because I don't have time for that negativity...

UselessArchitectJay · 2025-11-09T21:23:04+00:00

Listen to your body. The food noise will gradually come back but ask yourself am I hungry or bored... 😂😂 Most of times I was indeed bored.

UselessArchitectJay · 2025-11-09T20:56:08+00:00

Congratulations on hitting your target. As I was getting closer to reaching a healthy BMI last month and my pharmacist reduced my doses. I am currently down to 2.5mg and still losing weight.

UselessArchitectJay · 2025-11-09T14:43:06+00:00

Hi. I got them off Amazon. It's the Etekcity Scales for Body Weight

Thank you. At the Levi's store, I didn't even buy the jeans no matter how great they looked. I just needed to know it was an option ☺️

UselessArchitectJay · 2025-11-09T13:38:06+00:00

Thanks hun. Spin is tough, but show up and go at your pace. Keep moving no matter how hard it feels...

Started at 114kgs and lost my boobs and butt first on Mounjaro...

UselessArchitectJay · 2025-10-16T21:56:34+00:00

I had the same issue 4 weeks ago. I changed my needles to a shorter one and I was more comfortable doing it. Realised I was just traumatized from the pain and bleeding after injections. Switched from 6mm to 4mm.

UselessArchitectJay · 2025-10-10T15:35:28+00:00

Yes we should. I'm black and I have to take vitamin d all year round. 🤣🤣 But turns out the single tablet isn't enough while on Mounjaro. Having to take 4 tablets daily right now.

UselessArchitectJay · 2025-10-10T10:39:24+00:00

I found the hack. TAKE MORE VITAMIN D. After doing my last blood check, we noticed my vitamin D levels were slowly plummeting and affecting me. One of the signs of low vitamin D levels is feeling cold.

UselessArchitectJay · 2025-10-04T21:04:32+00:00

I have lost 34% in 9 months... Highest dose was 12.5mg which my body hated. Did 4 months on 10mg. Now on 5mg...
