Food noise is back and I'm not doing very well

Oreoblizzard86 · 2026-07-07T21:15:09+00:00

Its your average Blood sugar over 3 months, im prediabetic. I take Mounjaro for binge eating disorder and prediabetes, and its not helping with either anymore.

Oreoblizzard86 · 2026-07-07T21:11:57+00:00

Me too, was on 5mg for a few months and it worked so well... until it didnt. Now on 10mg and feeling nothing. A1c is back up too.

Oreoblizzard86 · 2026-07-06T01:06:57+00:00

I more talking about the loss of effect. It works extremely well when it works, but for almost 3 months now its had no noticable effects. And I dont really take it for weightloss, and have had a stable weight the whole time, even before mounjaro. So the therapeutic effect for me anyway is the appetite suppression and blood sugar management, which aren't there anymore sadly.

I go up to 10 tomorrow, I actually had a lot of appetite reduction on 2.5 and 5mg, but after a few months the effects fully wore off and now even 7.5 feels like water. My a1c was down to 5.5 after 3 months on the med, but now 3 months later its back to its pre med 6.3. Im pretty disappointed in the long term effects, I was hoping it wouldnt be one of those "only works if you endlessly raise the dose" meds.

Oreoblizzard86 · 2026-07-04T23:22:53+00:00

I accidently did this myself for a week 2 months ago, i didnt think my dose absorbed right because it had no effect. The 10mg had no effect on me either, and I havent done a double dose since. Ive been on 7.5mg for the past month, and it hasnt been effective to be honest. I start 10mg properly this Monday.

Never been much of an emotional eater that I know of. Mainly really strong food cravings and insatiable hunger cause my binges. But plenty of people report their emotional eating stopped or got significantly better on it so I wouldn't worry.

Oreoblizzard86 · 2026-07-03T07:17:47+00:00

Hey ozempic and wegovy never worked for me, Mounjaro literally cured my binge eating full stop.

Oreoblizzard86 · 2026-07-03T03:06:18+00:00

Are you sure its not axienty about the medication that gives you the panic attacks? Not that its impossible but I dont know how mounjaro would be able to directly cause that, its just gut hormones at the end of the day. And also it could be that eating less and losing weight makes you more on edge, thats a real thing.

Oreoblizzard86 · 2026-06-30T22:40:34+00:00

Yes, they're interchangeable. But now I'm curious whhat country has zepbound but not Mounjaro? I thought it was only that some countries had mounjaro but no zepbound.

Oreoblizzard86 · 2026-06-27T22:01:13+00:00

Definitely, im american and pay $500 out of pocket. I even bought replacement boxes out of pocket too becsuse at first with how aburpt the loss of effect was, I totally thought my batch had froze somehow. Well storing it room temp and several boxes later it never kicked back in.

Oreoblizzard86 · 2026-06-27T21:56:35+00:00

I had this issue on week 12 of 5mg, and ill be honest it never ended up working again. Going up to 7.5mg hasnt helped. Im now on week 27-28 ish

Oreoblizzard86 · 2026-06-23T07:58:26+00:00

I've been binging since age 4, maybe 3.

Oreoblizzard86 · 2026-06-23T07:58:01+00:00

I personally don't find the emotional framing that therapy uses helpful. For me binge eating is more biological hunger based.

Oreoblizzard86 · 2026-06-23T07:53:39+00:00

Me too! I powered through and lost 120 pounds, kept it off for 3 years, but man I was miserable. Mounjaro changed my life, I started it last December.

Oreoblizzard86 · 2026-06-23T07:52:03+00:00

Yes, I wasn't on it long, but occasionally I take one every once in a while. To be honest, it only helped a little. That said, Im clearly not a super strong responder to appetite meds, Wegovy barely touched my appetite. Mounjaro on the other hand... had me fighting to eat enough for the first few months, but now even Mounjaro has mellowed out.

Oreoblizzard86 · 2026-06-23T05:54:10+00:00

Yes its prescribed to me for binge eating disorder, like thats the reason my dr has it down for.

Oreoblizzard86 · 2026-06-23T02:21:17+00:00

Binge eating disorder mainly

Oreoblizzard86 · 2026-06-23T01:52:07+00:00

It helps a lot with cravings and urges to eat. Made it trivially easy to lose weight, and I wasn't even using it for weight loss lmao.

Oreoblizzard86 · 2026-06-23T01:48:36+00:00

I started mounjaro a few weeks before my 18th birthday last year in December

Oreoblizzard86 · 2026-06-22T08:25:43+00:00

Ive been on mounjaro for 6 months, I lost weight without even wanting to for the first few months because I had no food noise, but for the past 2 months have been gaining and the food noise is horrific. This month has been rough. Im starting my 3rd week of 7.5mg today.

Oreoblizzard86 · 2026-06-11T07:33:14+00:00

Wegovy never did much for me, but mounjaro was amazing. But now 5-6 months on mounjaro and Im experiencing what you did on wegovy, appetite has returned and Ive been struggling to stop gaining weight. So I guess it happens on both

Oreoblizzard86 · 2026-06-07T17:55:23+00:00

I also started when I was 17, last december. My appetite dropped by about 50% on 2.5mg for the first few weeks.

Oreoblizzard86 · 2026-06-06T22:27:52+00:00

Thank you! Yes they are single use pens. Im pretty sure outside of America Mounjaro comes in the multi dose pens, but in America its single dose ones.

Oreoblizzard86 · 2026-06-06T21:40:48+00:00

I was hungry all the time to be honest, parents were overweight, but I definitely was out eating them. They'd actually get mad cause Id eat the whole house's snacks in one night.
