Three years on Ozempic and then watching it stop working is a pattern that leads a lot of people here - the dual mechanism in Mounjaro is specifically what tends to pick up where sema stalls. Appetite suppression on the early doses is usually modest; it builds with time and often feels more...
The mental load of eating on these meds flips from craving management to nutritional optimization - one is involuntary and exhausting, the other is chosen and exhausting, but the chosen version has an endpoint when the habits become automatic.
316 to 252 is 64 lbs and it's showing in the photos. The vial trickle after withdrawal is a pressure artifact from the reconstituted peptide - not a meaningful dose loss, just residual surface tension at the needle site. The face and body change at that scale is real and other people see it...
I've been on .5 for about a year and a half now, Happy_Fixed851. I've lost 68 pounds that way. I probably could go up but I don't want to so I won't. I'm maintaining well.

It probably just got buried in their messages. Try again after the holiday. Or find a vendor with a US warehouse. They're usually still processing orders during the holiday.
You didn't mention how you contacted them for either order. Was it through a message, or email? Did you start the conversation, or were you replying to a message? And who were you trying to order from? Someone here has probably dealt with them before and can offer advice.

Pausing Ozempic, huh? I've been thinking about lowering my dose, but the shortages have me worried. Someone said they gained 10+ pounds in a few weeks just lowering their dose. Staying vigilant!
When people stop glp meds, like with other weight loss methods except surgery (and even then, regain is common), they'll usually regain the weight gradually. Only a few keep it off long-term, <5%. Most will return to near their starting weight. This has been shown in many papers.
I've seen that...
