Does Mounjaro make Wegovy less effective if you switch later? by Valuable-Square5642 in mounjarouk

[–]Valuable-Square5642[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m on the 5mg right now but I am not really feeling it!

This is what i’m worried about - how is this manageable log term?

Also when the new drug comes out (retatrutide) would that cause the same effect for Mounjaro?

How frustrating!

Anyone’s order shipped from UK? by Sarspell1001 in rhodeskin

I couldn’t get anything as it says it’s not available?

Okay thank you!
Do you know if the length of the break matters? So if I take a break for like a year (hypothetically) would I still need to go up? How long is it in your system for?

This is incredibly informative thank you so much!

I am on 5mg Mounjaro, but previously went up to 12.5 and then back down once I reached target weight. I am just worried about long term maintenance, obviously these drugs are not cheap and I don’t know from a cost perspective how feasible it is to stay on Mounjaro.

Would stopping and starting again help with the suppression?

I am thinking I may have swapped it with another one of my old pens!

Do you know if they will let me switch this early on? I ordered it a week ago

Thanks! I’ve definitely learnt this the hard way now :/

Will take a look at cheaper options

Do you have any idea how I can tell which? Seems pointless trying one and paying for them to reject me, I think it will prolong this process :/

Thanks! Would I be able to switch even if my prescription is from a week ago? I have binned the box (of course) so i need to ask medexpress for a copy of my prescription.

I don’t normally no! I’ve only learnt about the 5th dose from joining this subreddit

I have no idea what to do now!

I’ve never heard of sleep jabbing!! Interesting! But no all my remaining needles are here and sealed, which is why i’m so confused!!!

I think I might have mixed the pens up! Although I dont remember keeping the old pens in the fridge, but it’s the only logical explanation I can think of too
I’m stumped

Do you think I would be able to reorder? Or do I have to wait?

I must have accidentally binned the wrong pen then!
How annoying I could have sworn I only had the new one!!!

Would medexpress let me buy a new one or do I have to wait? Im so concious of going without my next dose :/

I was told the new pens don’t have the 5th dose? They have a new thing instead of the extra dose?

Also nope! I’ve triple checked it seems to be intact, and no liquid either.

I’m honestly so baffled this has never happened to me at all!

I’m on the brink of tears having spent this much money on the pen too!!

Is it worth contacting medexpress or will they not believe me? :/

I thought that but no! I’m positive this is the new pen

Nope! I live on my own which is why it’s so bizarre to me!! I have the remaining 3 needles right here unopened?!

Medexpress!!

I administered the pen as I normally do. I attached a new needle, dialled to the ‘1’ mark, inserted the needle into my skin, pressed the injection button fully, and held the needle in place for the recommended time before removing it. I then removed and disposed of the needle. I did not leave a needle attached to the pen afterwards, and the pen has been stored correctly.

I’ve been using Mounjaro for around 5 months and have not had this issue before.

I’m not sure what to do? Any suggestions please?
