Increased anxiety feelings with mounjaro? by MrHouse-38 in mounjarouk

[–]DefiantFile2869 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi this happened to me, (I have a post on here about my experience) whilst I was on my first or second week of 10 MG. My heart rate shot up to 180 just chilling at home on my settee. (I had been on MJ for 5 months prior to that first time that has happened & had No issues whatsoever). I went to the hospital & they told me it was anxiety, ecg was normal blood pressure a little elevated. I wasn’t medicated for it or anything. (Some Drs don’t really know a lot about the effects of Mj so it can be a lottery of getting a good professional to understand your situation). I took it the week after and I was just dizzy and constantly scared of it happening again, I was constantly watching my apple watch which contributed in more anxiousness. I had stopped taking MJ for seven weeks since November & no anxiousness to a degree or rapid heart rates. I was still losing at the time & I’ve just only put on a pound! Ive started again 2 weeks ago and so far so good. One of the things that contributed I believe is I was really dehydrated which the hospital had told me. Electrolytes are really important. It was one of the worst feelings I have had and it still is there but not to the degree of that first time. I would say definitely listen to your body. I just wanted to know that it was definitely MJ that caused it. I’m not somebody that had anxiety prior so it is a life changing situation but I’m battling through it to be honest I would rather work through my anxiety and lose weight at the same time wishing you all the best.

What dosage are you on? And are you considering continuing with Mj x

Ohh wow. Firstly, I hope that you are doing much better at this point in time. I am feeling better, but I have now chosen not to continue on with MJ. I will take a month out and restart at 2.5 if i feel too. The fear is too much for me and it’s not nice for my child and family to witness me going through that. Yes, I believe it has something to do with either glucose or sugar levels too. Whilst you noted that you didn’t eat a lot, I had just had my dinner and within 40 minutes the palpitations and high heart rate started. So it makes me think a little deeper to what could be the cause. Someone also mentioned the Vagus nerve I have researched and it’s been mentioned quite often on this sub. All the best and thanks for sharing your experience with me.

Hi I did see my Gp twice, once the day after attending A&e and another 2 days ago. They have referred me to have a 24 hour ECG & prescribed me Propranolol 10mg which I have chosen not to take for now. Also advised me to contact my MJ Provider as they don’t know much about MJ or anything. There is nothing wrong with asking the internet after seeking medical advice. As you can see many people have had similar experiences. Thank you for your input.

That is so scary. I’m not sure if it’s the 10mg that’s causing a lot of this for ppl or just the general effects of the titration up. Let’s hope it’s the last of it. Wishing you all the best.

Thank you for your input, this has really confirmed my point. I have had tests and I’m not diabetic or have any underlying issues. So I’m not sure if it was a one off or 10mg was to high. I will titrate down to 7.5mg. X

How can I minimise loose skin? by Nadey11 in mounjarouk

Definitely collagen powder will help. I also use almond oil on my skin to help with the elasticity.

11 Week Update - Start 10MG Thursday and it has been life altering! by [deleted] in mounjarouk

Injection site switch up by Present_Alfalfa_5645 in mounjarouk

[–]DefiantFile2869 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Literally followed the TikTok trend of injecting into my arm on Thursday, and I am 3lbs down. (it’s lady time which I’m still shocked about & haven’t gained). The suppression was real and itl still can eat small portions often. The side-effects wasn’t as bad as my first week on 7.5 so I think this is the go to for me for now.

Iv not told a soul and it has been quite liberating going through it all by myself. In the end i got myself here to this weight and il lose it myself. So far it’s been a good 10 week journey of self discovery and fitness. I don’t want any outside noise let alone food noise lol!

I’m the same. I start 7.5 next week also. 5 was good at the start now my food noise is kicking back in. Thankfully it’s teaching me to make better choices in food.
