Sharing a success. I kinda stalled on Ozempic and then switched. It worked for me.

I'm also off all my other diabetes meds now, just the shot each week. Still got a ways to go to reach my goal weight.

I'd be curious to hear more about your experience switching from Ozempic to Mounjaro. I've been on Ozempic for about a year and a couple of months, with maybe 4 months at the highest dose of 2mg. I've hit a standstill. It's possible for me to lose weight if I'm super strict, but the food cravings are coming back. I have a doctor's appointment coming up and I'm thinking about asking about Mounjaro, hoping it will kickstart my weight loss and help with the hunger. Congrats, you look amazing!

Do you have any idea why the 20lbs lost on Mounjaro seemed to make such a big difference in your appearance?

Incredible! You should be so proud of what you've achieved so far! Do you feel great in your body now?

To answer @LightCookie's question - I think maybe Mounjaro targets visceral fat better? Just feels like it did more than Ozempic ever did!

I had so much nausea on tirzepatide! Maybe I should try semaglutide instead. Anyone else have that issue?

I had cyclic vomiting when I tried sema. Switched to tirz and found a company that included B12. That has helped a lot!

I've heard of people having bad side effects on one and not the other. It's so individual. Maybe drop back your dose, @Mel11?

I've heard sema can have worse side effects. I'd try a lower dose like @Blair66 suggested first. Maybe 2.5mg?

Switched from semaglutide when the nausea got bad. Tirzepatide helped with that. Lost the last bit too. Started on semaglutide first, recommend it.

Lost 30kg using ozempic then the remaining 15 on mounjaro. Personally felt my blood sugar was more stable on ozempic. Mounjaro gave me crash sensations repeatedly. Tried different amounts but ozempic just worked better for my system overall.

Wait, you gained weight on mounjaro? Looking at your pics you seem to have put on pounds when I thought you'd be dropping them.

I hate coffee and hot drinks give me issues. Caffeine sensitivity too. But I want to lose weight, so everything's working against the coffee route.

The stall-then-switch pattern from Oz to Mounjaro is the GIP receptor component making the difference - the dual mechanism catches people who plateau on sema alone, and being off all other diabetes meds is the downstream outcome the trials predicted.

was on ozempic for a year and it worked great until it didn't. switched to mounjaro in may and nothing's happened since then. doc's worried about starting over if i go back but mounjaro isn't doing anything and if ozempic works again it feels worth the reset.

my psych np said semaglutide takes 'joy' away and recommended switching to tirzepatide. doc rolled their eyes but i didn't care what they thought. switched anyway and within 6 weeks huge change. know it's different for other people but that was mine.
