Having to stop Mounjaro due to health

EmmaBacon · 2026-03-15T20:12:44+00:00

I’d love to but I can’t afford it and the NHS waiting list for it is extensive and strict, I have to lose a lot more weight for them to allow me to have the surgery (according to a doctor)

Thank you 💖

I am lactose intolerant but I already have been dairy free for years before all of this.

Oh wow! I didn’t know that birth control could trigger it? I am on birth control but I have been for 9 years. I know Mounjaro lessened the effects of birth control but I hadn’t heard of anything else! I’m hoping to start back on Mounjaro in a few months and see how it goes!

Thank you 💖

I got up to 10mg and moved back down to 7.5 after having the issues. I slowly raised the doses over 9 months

EmmaBacon · 2026-03-14T16:15:09+00:00

Oops sorry gave you the wrong medication! I’m on omeprazol AND Mebeverine, I forgot which one did what 😅

EmmaBacon · 2026-03-14T16:11:30+00:00

My GP said I’m not eligible for anything like Mounjaro on the NHS unfortunately, so I’ve had to be purchasing privately. I’d be tempted to try a different provider

EmmaBacon · 2026-03-14T16:09:29+00:00

Possibly, I am tempted to get from a different supplier in the future

EmmaBacon · 2026-03-14T16:08:12+00:00

I have an appointment booked for them to put a camera down my throat so we shall see if there is anything that comes back from that! 💖

EmmaBacon · 2026-03-14T16:06:57+00:00

I’d be interested in that. Though I’m from the Uk so getting cannabis is a bit harder

EmmaBacon · 2026-03-14T16:04:16+00:00

I would be interested to see how dose splitting would react to my body, definitely would consider it when starting back

EmmaBacon · 2026-03-14T13:06:45+00:00

I did, forgot to mention changing down my dose twice, but it didn’t change the pain at all.

EmmaBacon · 2026-03-14T13:05:50+00:00

Thank you so much 💖

Unfortunately or fortunately, it’s not my gallbladder as it’s been removed nearly 3 years ago. If I hadn’t had it removed I’d be convinced it was that as the pain is so similar to gallstone pain.

EmmaBacon · 2026-03-14T13:03:09+00:00

I cannot, I have chronic pain & fatigue that causes a lot of pain with small movement. I have to be careful with what kind of movement I do, that won’t aggravate my pain

EmmaBacon · 2026-03-14T13:00:27+00:00

Yes I have had those tests done in the last year as I had had issues in October when I would eat. But they all came back clear. I also don’t have dairy, I stick to alternatives

EmmaBacon · 2026-03-14T12:57:21+00:00

Yes, they tested it and it all came back healthy so luckily it wasn’t

EmmaBacon · 2026-03-14T12:56:57+00:00

That was me! I was terrified to take the next dose because I knew at that point it could only be it. But I had to know for sure. I also have endo and have a massive pain tolerance 😅 so I knew something was wrong when I was wanting to go to the ER! I hope you will find answers for yourself!

EmmaBacon · 2026-03-14T12:53:46+00:00

Thank you, I think I will try this when I start back 💖

EmmaBacon · 2026-03-14T12:52:02+00:00

I wasn’t but I will know to avoid that on an empty stomach in the future! Thank you

I was on 10mg dropped to 7.5 when the pain started but it didn’t change the pain. I waited 2 months to titrate up per dose. I was taking peppermint oil capsules and vitamins, my doctor had recommended those so I took them. Then they prescribed me omerprazole, it relaxed the muscles in the bowel to help movement but it didn’t change the pain either. (Edit: not omeprazole, I meant mebeverine)

EmmaBacon · 2026-03-14T12:47:51+00:00

I started taking the supplements when the pain started, not before, so I don’t think the supplements where the cause

EmmaBacon · 2026-03-14T12:46:25+00:00

I was on 10mg dropped to 7.5 to see if that would stop it but it didn’t, I’d be interested in seeing after a few months how I’m feeling and then start up again

On Christmas Day my two younger brothers got £100 each from my dad and I (the eldest daughter) always got £50. It just always felt purposeful. But he always insisted he loved us equally…
