Not sure this helps, but I went through the exact same thing bumping up my dose. Down for five straight days! Throwing up, zero energy, just miserable! Honestly I dreaded the next injection so much that I started feeling better right before it was due. Normally inject into my stomach, but this...

Usually end up let down buying protein powder. Coffee's the one flavor I've basically given up hunting for a genuinely tasty version. They all come out tasting overly sweet somehow. Neutral options like vanilla or chocolate work best for me since you can customize them yourself with cocoa...

Set my target using a BMI of 25 as the benchmark, and I'm sitting maybe 3-4 pounds shy of hitting it. Recently discovered there's a separate BMI chart designed for older adults (doesn't apply to your case OP, but sure applies to mine!), and going by that one, I've technically been in the healthy...

Appreciate you sharing that link. Was mostly focused on the dual-action medication, so interesting that most of its failures traced back to overfilled vials. Just started a fresh vial from a compounding pharmacy yesterday, no additives, straight active ingredient, and it definitely feels weaker...

Not sure where the disagreement's coming from, but let's break it down and see who's got the math wrong. A 30mg vial came back testing at 2306 eu. Max dose for the second compound sits at 15mg, half that vial. So one full injection carries 1153 eu. To work out how large someone would need to be...

If it's working and you're feeling good, keep going :) Stayed on 2.5 for roughly a year until hitting my target, then cut it down by half and kept dropping.. so I trimmed it further to about 0.6 and the loss continued even then. Eventually stopped entirely, and so far it's held steady with...

Thank you so much Ate a bigger portion than usual yesterday and honestly felt a lot better afterward, no lingering hunger bugging me. Thinking I'll hold steady on 2.5mg a bit longer while nudging my calories up slightly (still under maintenance). Thanks again...

Haven't adjusted my timing at all. Usually take it about an hour and a half before eating anyway. No real change in how I feel or anything. Did bump the amount up a bit, though that might just be a coincidence unrelated to Mounjaro.

The usual reasoning behind sticking to once weekly is cutting down the odds of building tolerance over time. Purely theoretical, but it does hold logical weight. Like others mentioned, splitting essentially functions as raising the total amount, so bumping up the dose might be worth trying first...

Wrecked my drive to do anything, honestly. Now that I've hit and held my target weight for over nine months, thinking about stopping to see whether I can rediscover some enthusiasm for living...

In my case brain fog and fatigue seem tied to not eating enough, though I'm dealing with this too, whenever I've tried zero-carb diets before I've felt like an absolute zombie. Did you end up stopping it?

Part of the weight coming off was just not being hungry enough to eat, plus dealing with frequent bathroom trips that also cut into eating. Definitely happened fast, I agree, and now I'm working on packing muscle back on.

Being on this drug class means I go through a lot of MiraLax, or the generic store-brand version. Those bottles hold up really well. Kind of fitting to toss used needles into a container that's also tied to managing side effects from the same medication. Full circle moment.

Yeah my doctor's in the dark on this one too, but I'm running heavy on reta - currently doing 8mg tirz alongside 8mg reta every four days. Still dropping weight steadily, just at a slower pace now. Curious about Elora as well, though not eager to pay upward of a buck per mg for it.

Has anyone else dealt with serious exhaustion on Reta? Spent a full year on Tirz and hit all my weight goals there. Switched over to Reta hoping for extra fat-burning, ran 1.5mg weekly for three weeks straight. Wiped out completely. Circled back onto Tirz to recover for four weeks, then gave...
