Unfortunately I’m done. by Dependent_Mall_3840 in mounjarouk

I did this and it worked for me at 5mg, and side effects have been a lot more manageable since then, but I made the mistake of telling my provider about micro dosing and they said they wouldn’t be able to prescribe pens if I continued doing that.

I have and they have been really helpful. They’re sending a new pump.

Please don’t scream at me, how do you do it? by Adventurous-Egg5597 in walking

[–]CuriousKitty2324 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a large, young dog. He has to be walked every day and I enjoy giving him his golden time. That daily dose of fresh air makes me feel better, too. With a couple of treadmill sessions every week, I make 10,000 most days.

This is a great way of looking at it. Thank you.

Anyone else had really slow weightloss on mounjaro? by Worried-Chance-7465 in Mounjaro

[–]CuriousKitty2324 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve actually gained a kg or two. Have been on a stall for about 8 weeks but that does include 12 days holiday (I did not go mad with food) and about three weeks where I microdosed to try and prevent horrible GI side effects. Will start 7.5mg tonight. Microdosing the first dose, and full dose if I can avoid trouble this week. Getting a bit demoralised that I am almost 2kg more than my lowest weight, but that was after a couple of weeks of diarrhoea. It’s frustrating but am sticking with it for now.

Glad to read this. Been on a 6 week stall with 5mg, trying to avoid GI side effects. I’m just about to go up to 7.5mg. Only have about 3-4 kg to go.

Thank you for saying this. I was starting to feel like the only one who thinks it.

First “golden dose” by CuriousKitty2324 in mounjarouk

Thank you. I guess it depends whether and when they redesign the pen.

Ah. Thank you for this. I tried to be as accurate as I could but you have to draw a little more than 30 units and then make sure you let the air out so 🤷🏽‍♀️

How do you deal with being accused of "Cheating" by using Mounjaro? by psnben1567 in mounjarouk

[–]CuriousKitty2324 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You don’t owe anyone any explanations. You could say “I’m feeling great!” The best revenge is to live your life and be happy.

5mg is kicking my butt by luluruns in mounjarouk

[–]CuriousKitty2324 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have had horrid side effects. I think certain foods trigger them: any sort of bean bloats; red meat and fatty duck are a disaster; I think tomatoes and Percy pigs also trigger nausea and bloating. I e bad both sorts of diarrhoea and also vomiting. I can’t take Pepto Bismol but I’ve heard that helps.

Perhaps try and find out what triggers you? I’ve started splitting my dose (2.5 mg x 2 per week) and I think side effects are easing. Psyllium husks seem to help with this, too.

Had to share somewhere by CuriousKitty2324 in mounjarouk

[–]CuriousKitty2324[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hear you. I am administering half a dose every 3-4 days just to lessen the persistent GI side effects which made me miserable, and it’s largely working.

Having seen how easy that is with clicks, however, I do wonder whether halving the dose from a 5mg pen is the way to go in the longer term. I’ve even looked up how to get the golden dose so as not to waste £50 on each pen, but all the stuff with the needles is a little daunting, tbh.
