I was on it for 6 months 2.5, 5, 7.5. I always had diarrhea and some nausea and throwing up but my A1C went from 10.9 to 5.4 and I lost 30 lbs. I stopped for 2 months because I had such stomach issues. Felt better but my appetite was back and I felt bloated. I decided to start again at 2.5 mg...

Why was I so sick on it. Got a bit better but then sick again.

On 2.5 and 5 mg I had good results with with weight loss and blood sugar but had a lot of diarrhea. Sometimes going 10 times in a row. Then a few days of constipation. By the time I started at 7.5 mg it tapered off. I had to skip a week for a procedure and the said it was ok to take 7.5 mg...

I had to stop Mounjaro after 6 months. Eating about the same and hope to keep weight. I have been told you can eat pretty much nothing and still gain all the weight back? I would think if you stay low calorie you can maintain?

Diarrhea and later some throwing up after 6 months.

They won’t advise anymore help through MyChart. Won’t do phone calls. Only my internist will. I was just there in Sept and I have an appt again in March but they won’t give me anymore advise except to lower my dose.

My endo doesn’t help much. He acts like my side effects are unheard of. They said I need to come in to address the issues but don’t have any available appts for 2 months.

So sick on Mounjaro I stopped it for a month but I wonder if I stop Metformin completely on only take Mounjaro will that lessen stomach issues? I’ve been on Metformin for years but didn’t help much until I added Mounjaro. Dr told me to continue 2000 (1000 in the morning and evening) of...

Yes they checked Lipase but it was in normal range. I also had a CT scan with contrast since the nurse practitioner felt a mass. It’s a larger fibroid.

I would think this if it happened once but it happened 2 weeks in a row.

50 female. I had some diarrhea on 2.5 and a little on 5 mg. Decided to go up to 7.5 mg and tolerated it ok. Went from 205 to 165 so far. I’m type 2 diabetic and Mounjaro is the only meds (also take Metformin) to get my A1C down to 5.4. I had to skip a week due to a procedure and when I took...
