Mounjaro Forums

I have been on Mounjaro 7.5 mg for approximately 10 months. I experienced bedwetting the day after I took the shot. I know it weakens your muscles, but I never thought this would happen. Out of my last three shots, I have had nighttime bedwetting twice. Has anybody else had this problem?

Is anyone taking these medications been diagnosed with thyroid nodules and or thyroid cancer?

I am taking 7.5 of Mounjaro and 500mg of Metformin. Recently my Lipase came back 500. Has this happened to anyone else? I don’t hurt or feel bad, just a little nauseous.

I started last week 2.5. I was so nauseous. vomited and one day of diarrhea. It would just come on all of the sudden. I never had nausea this bad. Then back off. It finally subsided after 3 days but I felt sore in my stomach. I talked to doctor. Said try not to take the nausea meds. To eat bland diet. I was not hungry and probably had an empty stomach on my part I didn't want to eat feeling sick at my stomach anyway. 2nd week here. I wasn't going to do it. But going to try... this sucks. The instructions say two weeks then shouldn't have nausea. ## Sorry about your nausea, I'm on week 5 with the lowest dose. As long as im losing I'll stay on the low dose, here's why. 2 summers ago I tried ozempic for 3 mos & lost # well, but the nausea, cramping & diarrhe...

I was doing so well with Mounjaro, but my Doctor took me off it because of significantly increased liver enzymes / markers in a routine blood test. I am so disappointed and have been doing as much on line research as I can. So surprising given that reduced liver fat is supposed to be one of the benefits. I have read that it could be the speed of weight loss, rather than the Mounjaro itself, that caused this. Can anyone relate? ## Is one of the enzymes CYP3A4? [I'm not a doctor or anything so take as speculation] I am pretty sure Mounjaro can induce (increase its activity) while the drug maker is trying to hide the fact. And may affect other enzymes. Although the relationship may be complex and could potentially go either way with enzyme activity. Forskolin increases intracellular cA...

I've been on Mounjaro for 3 years for Type 2 Diabetes. A1C down from 15 to 5.9. The weight loss was a bonus. It took 3 years to lose 92 lbs. Of course I haven't worked out, is it too late to tighten my upper arms and thighs?

Reading the forum I see that several people have gotten to very high doses very quickly. I just started a week ago at 2.5 and see the doc for bloodwork at 4 weeks. If she sees I'm doing well with all numbers including weight loss, the plan is to continue on that dose another month or longer as long as results are positive. Since I did have nausea and sulfur burps first few days, I'm fine with that. I just don't understand getting to 10 in 4 months. Can someone explain that?

Have almost lost all I wanted to. I understand it is likely that when I come off Mounjaro, my weight/appetite likely to increase, and I don't know whether to try & lose few more kilos to have 'some thing in hand'. Any views please?

Recently (6 weeks) had a pancreas scare with a CT scan (later unfounded) and my doctor took me off Mounjaro. I have since developed intermittent diarrhea. I will start my day with a normal poop. Then I may have one or 2 more loose stools or some diarrhea. I have no other symptoms except increased gas. This appears more after dairy. No gastric distress, bloating or pain, no fever. Any thoughts?

Has anyone else noticed their skin tingling quite badly, a bit like you feel when coming down with the flu? I have been on Mounjaro for 6 months now, on the highest does. Haven't really had any other side effects other than 2 very sort bouts of nausea. ## Hi Vic - yes I have was going to ask this question. I’m taking 5 4 th month and have been having tingling/ numbness on left side down from shoulder to fingers.

I am wondering if anyone out there has these symptoms. It seems like in about the third month 7.5 of mounjaro I started feeling vague indigestion that kind of comes and goes across my upper back. I also am constipated and am now on the 10 mg. I have lost 12 pounds and my sugars non fasting were only 105 without any other meds than the mounjaro itself, so over all I am thrilled with what it's doing for me. But I would like to know if anyone else has these particular symptoms with the drug. ## I too have had some constipation issues with mounjaro that I’ve never had before. Dr. Told me to increase water intake and try for 60fl oz/day. I haven’t been successful with that recommendation yet. Also have some mid, lower abdominal pain that comes and goes. Not sure if that...

Researchers at the university of Edinburgh have a new study looking at weight loss drugs and pregnancy. This may be of interest to some people in this community. If you have had a positive pregnancy test within 6 months of taking a weight loss drug such as Mounjaro, Ozempic or Wegovy please consider taking our anonymous survey. We are keen for as many people as possible to take part and share their experiences. Link:

Hi, everyone. I've been on 5mg dose of Mounjaro for 2 months and have lost about 15 pounds. I love the way I have less desire for food, less craving, and I especially love how I know when to stop eating during a meal. I don't experience side effects unless I inject into my abdomen. Then, within 2 days, the burps and diarrhea start. When injected into my thigh, no bad side effects. Is this true for anyone else? ## When I rotate injection sites, including my abdomen, I don't notice differences. But, at first I was always injecting on the right side of my belly button for a while (not sure but maybe 2 or 3 months). And at one point, I felt a slight pain in my abdomen, then my lower abdomen swelled up. Don't know if coincidence or contributing factor, I had taken 1/2 to 1 tu...

Is there a difference in cost between insurance vs no insurance and/or if you have type 2 diabetes vs weight loss program? Trying to figure out if the doctors office coded mine wrong.

First month started with 5 mg. Just started the next month with 7.5 mg. Lost 14 pounds. Used to take 3 meds total. Now just once/week Mounjaro injection and Jardiance 25 mg daily. Morning sugars 120. ## That's awesome! So very glad that it's working so well for you. Have you experienced any of the side effects the FDA warns about, such as nausea, diarrhea, constipation, or stomach pain? Ref: Mounjaro Information ## I just started on Monday and so far I have had no negatives happen. Wondering if I'm in the right spot? I'm looking for an active forum dedicated to Mounjaro? ## Hi, I’ve been on a 2.5mg dose of Mounjaro for 3 weeks. This is for weight loss, not diabetes. Down 16 lbs but 10 were in the first week. Seeking info on what y’all are eating, caloric inta...

I’m looking for some feedback from other Mounjaro users. Currently taking 5 mg weekly, on month 3. I have had positive results in blood sugar, A1C decline and weight loss, however in the last few weeks I have had increasing sulfur burps, pass a lot of gas and have lower abdominal pain. I don’t move my bowels as frequently as I used to either (figured that was due to less food intake). Has anyone else encountered the central lower abdominal pain? I often think it’s gas related, but it’s starting to make me concerned that it’s something more. What experiences do others have?

This is my 4th month on Mounjaro and my 1st month on the 7.5 mg. My A1C is 5.7, down from 10. It is working great but the side effects from the 7.5 mg are rough. Extreme nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. My doctor wants me to increase to 10 mg but I can barely handle the 7.5 mg. Has anyone else experienced these side effects and do they eventually go away? ## I am just ending the 7.5mg injections as well and the side effects (nausea, vomiting, and extreme diarrhea) have me basically incapacitated! I’m down only 14 lbs (thought I would have been down more by now). I don’t think I can continue with a higher dosage. ## This is my first month (2nd week) taking 5mg of Mounjaro. Still nauseous on day 4, but better than days 1-3. My main concern is some itching in my mouth. No swellin...

I was on ozempic for 1 year and lost 50+ lbs but came to a plateau so started mounjaro and have been on for about 18 weeks and no weight loss at all. I'm on 10 mg dosage now and have been for 6 weeks and no results. Am I the only one its not working for? Frustrated to say the least. ## I've done exactly the same thing even on the highest dosage of mounjaro and it's not working for me either.

My wife just accidentally injected her thumb. She called her pharmacist, who told her to call Monjaro, who told her this has never happened before, and had no advice. What should we do? Other than hanging around ER.

I have been on Mounjaro for about six months. I culminated at 10mg per week, then due to severe constipation and swollen lymph nodes and a swollen throat with difficulty swallowing I have quit. I have been off for about a week and a half, and the symptoms aren’t subsiding.
