My Mounjaro Journey - Week 9 in Review - When Should We Increase Dosage?

[@Margot-zz2qv]

Thank you for your advice. I was very confused about increasing my dose as I am already at 7.5 mg. I haven't had side effects and have lost 40 lbs in 10 weeks, but I still need to lose 110 lbs. To reach a healthy weight. I think I will stick to this dosage for a while as I see results, no side effects, and I am happy to do it slowly and steadily. May I add that I am taking therapy to change my behaviour, and that has helped greatly.

I'm proud of you and happy that you don't have a long journey.

[@BILLEON2005]

Stay low dose for as long as you can for the best results

Why are you on mounjaro at 125#???

[@lilnabii]

shes 5'2 her healthy weight as per BMI is 99 - 121 lbs. and I doubt she started this at 125 lbs. you also have no idea if shes has insulin resistance or pcos or diabetes

Here is where I’m starting to notice the hoarseness you were talking about

[@leahdozier]

The hoarseness is strange. It's very noticeable for me because I have 2 young boys that need the stern voice quite often. My doctor doesn't think it's anything to worry about.

I feel like 125 pounds is a good weight if you are🎉 comfortable, how much weight are you thinking of losing and I hope you reach your goal.

Do you have diabetes?

[@Canny977]

I will continue on 2.5 for 2 more months lost 4 kilograms already only 5 more kilograms to go what do you recommend

[@maryd7081]

Hi. I’m on 2.5 for 2 months now I lost 10lbs so far not sure if I should go up to 5mg or stay on 2.5. I’m nervous about side effects on 5mg? How are you doing ??

[@Canny977]

@@maryd7081 I’m doing quite well apart from the reflex and thirst issues every thing is just fine. My doctor doesn’t want to increase the concentration as long as the body is losing weight. If you increase to 5 you will experience the side effects only when take the first dose. I wish you best of luck in your weight loss journey

[@rongross7179]

Are you doing this purely for weight loss or is there a truly medical reason like diabetes? I’m not a medical professional but At 5’2” and 125 I think you are doing well. Should you stop? When you do stop will it be “cold Turkey”? Will you wean yourself off so you are less apt to start gaining? Thank you.

[@leahdozier]

I have been using this for weight loss. I have lost almost 20 lbs since I started. I have taken a break the last couple of weeks and was able to maintain. This makes me very happy. This is a medication that you can stop "cold turkey" if you wish. My goal is to utilize the lowest dosage when I need a random boost. I am hoping this would only be once every couple of months.

[@jimmycasey6400]

I glad for you but I started this weighing 436 on October 2 now I weigh 387 I feel like this shot has helped me so much! No offense to you I would not lose much more weight if I was you!

[@cypresse1620]

You don’t need to use this drug to lose weight hon.
