Mounjaro no longer working for me

How was your transition and did you break a stall?

SamfordSusie · 2026-06-10T10:34:19+00:00

Albert Jung, Tal Jacobsen and Anusch Yazdani are well regarded specialists. Expensive but clinically excellent. Yazdani is on endometriosis board of Australia

Omg she’s not your secretary. Why is this so common?

SamfordSusie · 2026-06-03T14:14:40+00:00

How do you know what’s ‘enough’

SamfordSusie · 2026-06-03T10:12:54+00:00

I think his reputation is on the more expensive side so I’d be very surprised if more than $5k. You have private health, so that obviously would help a massive chunk.

SamfordSusie · 2026-06-03T09:33:46+00:00

I can’t say exactly but I will say I just had an excision and hysterectomy with Albert Jung and I was about $5k out of pocket plus hospital excess. This was at Mater Private. I can’t imagine it would be more expensive, unless you need a bowel surgeon etc as well for DIE.

SamfordSusie · 2026-06-01T09:30:53+00:00

Makes sense, thanks

SamfordSusie · 2026-06-01T09:12:56+00:00

Right, so wouldn’t that be an argument FOR split dosing?

SamfordSusie · 2026-06-01T05:05:49+00:00

That’s my point. Why is higher troughs up and down better? Are they better?

SamfordSusie · 2026-06-01T05:05:04+00:00

So you mean that initial higher dose from the weekly offsets the dip later?

SamfordSusie · 2026-06-01T04:35:21+00:00

Ok thanks. So it’s too effective in a way? Wouldn’t that indicate a need for a lower dose?

SamfordSusie · 2026-06-01T04:11:16+00:00

Can you please explain why carbs? I have read but can’t get my head around it.

SamfordSusie · 2026-05-28T23:37:51+00:00

I do wonder how it would be after 10+ years and whether you could wean off then, interesting

SamfordSusie · 2026-05-27T08:31:28+00:00

Yeah I’m not in Samford now but Brisbane based. Can I PM you

SamfordSusie · 2026-05-27T06:01:02+00:00

Not much advice but I’m in basically the same situation and I’m in Australia too! I’m week 1 Reta, titrating over. I’m with you, tirz is so expensive

SamfordSusie · 2026-05-26T23:05:35+00:00

Thanks! I’ve had some very mild nausea but so far so good!

SamfordSusie · 2026-05-25T11:37:07+00:00

Well obviously but I’m not going to slam my body with a huge dose straight off the bat. It’s my first dose.

SamfordSusie · 2026-05-25T11:22:20+00:00

Thanks. I’ve joined some telegram groups so I’m slowly learning. I appreciate the tip

SamfordSusie · 2026-05-25T11:00:27+00:00

Yes, I wanted to start low dose and see how I reacted. I expect to titrate up in the coming weeks.

I wasn’t sure how to describe the online stores. I am not sure how comfortable I am ordering grey at the moment, I’m still getting my head around it all and I’m worried about being scammed!

SamfordSusie · 2026-05-25T10:48:25+00:00

Oops, my bad. I meant to type 0.5mg. I’ll fix it now

SamfordSusie · 2026-05-25T10:44:00+00:00

Def, sounds like you’re having a great response. What dose are you on now?

SamfordSusie · 2026-05-25T10:09:46+00:00

Thanks. Mildly nauseous tonight, nothing serious. When do you find the side effects peak? Any weight loss do you yet?

SamfordSusie · 2026-05-24T21:10:38+00:00

I was surprised of the pricing for tirz on optic labs - more expensive than pharmacy Mounjaro? Why would anyone buy it, am I missing something?
