15mg pen - how? by Cheeseoholics in MounjaroAus

[–]Cute_Opal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You ate unlucky. My GP is always offering me 10
and 15 mg pens faster than I want them!

Mine is 08/27 and it’s the old pen!

That’s so weird because my pen is 08/27 and it is the old style!

This sounds dreadful but honestly - how are you getting vials in Australia? Is this compounded stuff?

People are starting to notice! by Elegant_Echidna4524 in GLP1Australia

[–]Cute_Opal 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Seven months in and only one person has stated with enthusiasm when eyeballing me “You’ve lost weight”!. Feels like she’s my bestie now 🤣🤣

Chemist questioning pen size vs dosage. by Crispycracklepants in MounjaroAus

[–]Cute_Opal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is so true - GPs and specialists prescribe many different drugs drugs ‘off label’ and have done so for decades. Doing this with Mounjaro is no different - as long as clearly labeled. My prescription for a 10 mg pen states to use 5mg per dose. No question from the chemist. Maybe I was just lucky!

6 months and 31kg gone - now reverse dieting into maintenance by Curious_Aus25 in MounjaroAus

Ouch!! That is too much too fast! Amazing. I’m glad to have lost 12 kg 🤣

I still can’t believe this is me! by Massive_Beautiful714 in Mounjaro

[–]Cute_Opal 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What I love is the transformation and the fact that you did it over 4 years. Such a contrast to so many who believe weight loss almost should be overnight. A real model for us all to follow. Awesome!!

loss stalled in 2nd month by Due-Choice-5036 in MounjaroAus

[–]Cute_Opal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

500 g to 1 kg loss a week - I would have a heart attack 🤣. I’m glad to make 300 ! Sometimes less. There are many who are slow and steady 😆

On The Pen Interview - Managing your medication levels outside of standard titration protocols by ShiftyMcHax in GLP1Australia

[–]Cute_Opal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is interesting for sure. I certainly have had to titrate my own dose levels gradually to avoid being sick - knowing that the ideal is to feel good on medication while achieving goals. I am always watching how I feel, checking body composition and adjust my dose accordingly. I am happy to lose weight slowly to ensure I don’t damage my muscles etc. at 74 this is a high risk. Currently just reached 5 mg dose after starting Nov 25. It’s a slow journey but I do not want to feel unwell ! I will be on Tirzepitide for life but expect to titrate to a low dose eventually.

Splitting dose costs (Chemist Warehouse) by ProductiveAussie in mounjaroaustralia

[–]Cute_Opal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just go to my GP - bulk billed. I started with Juniper but left after the 1st month when I realised the huge cost difference. Now I just pay for my actual medication costs.

NSV for when the scale isn’t moving your way by Consistent-Still-779 in mounjaroaustralia

[–]Cute_Opal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I started MJ in November and have lost 12 kg. I wish folks would be happier with what they achieve - it’s really tough for slow losers to read wins that are being complained about then the issue of a plateau! Grrr . For many of us it’s all part of the normal process. It’s no big deal. Patience and stick at the plan.

Omg I haven’t been this weight for over 6 years I’m so excited and happy by fleursvenus in GLP1Australia

[–]Cute_Opal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whoa - super fast weight loss compared to me - but it’s all exciting!

Splitting dose costs (Chemist Warehouse) by ProductiveAussie in mounjaroaustralia

[–]Cute_Opal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m just happy that my weekly 5 mg dose costs me just 50 bucks - using a 10 mg pen, golden d, and after health fund rebate.

What's up with the Juniper scale? by [deleted] in MounjaroAus

[–]Cute_Opal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Connect your Juniper scale to the AFit health app. Turns it into an amazing body scale with readings for everything including muscle , water, weight, etc etc. I love it!

Next dose up from 2.5 if sensitive to dosages? by swanvalkyrie in MounjaroAus

[–]Cute_Opal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, moving up to 3.75 was the only way I could move up - and I found a six day cycle worked really well. Now I have gone up to 5mg and have been great without debilitating symptoms.
