My doctor just switched me off Ozempic (was at 2.0 mg), and Mounjaro kicks off once vacation wraps up and I'm back home next month. Excited too, hear it works better with milder side effects.

Just my own experience here, but a high dose of a common diabetes medication I take normally has me running to the bathroom roughly a dozen times on an average day. This drug class dials that back to something manageable, so between the two things sort of cancel out. My provider says this drug...

Diabetic here, and other medications never brought my glucose down or kept it stable. Started at 2.5 and just did my second shot Monday. Before Mounjaro my morning readings sat anywhere from 180 up into the low 200s. Since beginning injections the trend's downward. My last three mornings read...

If it's working well for you, no reason to change anything, sounds great! I'd hold steady another month and reassess after that. Really glad to hear the medication's making such a difference for you. Our starting weights are pretty close actually. Figured it'd take a full year to go from 103kg...

Sure! Dropped back to 5mg after my initial attempt at 7.5mg went rough (side effects really knocked me around). Held at that lower amount for another three months!

Sounds like you've got a solid handle on things and are set up to make the most of your treatment. I'm around your age too, and while my blood sugar marker looks decent right now, it's trending the wrong direction, I keep gaining a bit each year, and diabetes runs heavily through my family...

Sema's basically taken ramen off the table for me, that's for sure. Toss up between the gut cramping and the sulfur-smelling burps for which one was worse. If I had to pick, the cramping edges it out.

Kept quiet about it for five months since I didn't want to feel any pressure around losing weight. Worried even well-meaning check-ins, like someone asking how much more I'd dropped since they last asked a week or two prior, would just pile on stress. Now that I'm down 53 pounds, I'll share with...

I'm a woman, a bit younger though, but landed in the same spot. Good job, spouse, kids, homeowner, all the outward markers checked off, yet weight's always been my struggle, and only during an anorexic phase did thinness happen for me. Wasn't healthy or happy back then either, but somehow that...

Haven't shared it since I don't want the judgment, criticism, or people trying to talk me out of it. Wouldn't change my decision anyway, just extra hassle I don't need. Plenty of people brush off glp1s entirely and have no clue what living through constant food chatter or binge eating actually...

Went from a 38DD down to a 36B. Feels amazing! Wasn't heavy to start (126 lbs, now 99), but almost all my extra weight sat in my chest and shoulders.

Heard there's an online community specifically for GLP-1 research discussions worth checking out if that interests anyone.

It's odd, ever since bumping up to a larger amount of the third compound on Friday, I've felt noticeably colder both out and at home. My wife brought it up herself this afternoon too, said she felt cold. House sits at a steady temperature it's held for years. Been running this compound five...

Sorry I don't have any real answers here, but you just described exactly what I'm dealing with too. Currently running a few different compounds myself. Down to 200lbs, but still get achy after sitting motionless a bit and getting back up again. Hoping someone chimes in with a fix for us.

Blood pressure came down gradually, though it looks like BP medication is a lifelong thing regardless, since the top number tends to sit right around the one-thirties mark with the bottom number running in the nineties, so staying on a low amount just to keep things reasonably controlled. Took...

To answer your question, yeah you're one of the fortunate ones, same story here, my injection sites barely react at all from the copper peptide and I go into my thighs. Most people report the four-peptide blend hurting less than the copper peptide alone. But reactions really range from nothing...

Dropping blood pressure is a pretty common effect with this medication class. Worth bringing up with your doctor.

My height's close to yours too, just under 5'4, and I started around the weight you did. Remember being stuck feeling that way for ages, then all of a sudden needing to drop multiple sizes back to back, actually bought a pair of jeans one size down to wear later on and ended up skipping right...

Finally caved and bought the pricier Hospira BAC, only found it in a 30ml size. Read multiple times it should get tossed after 30 days. I'll only burn through about 5ml in that window. Did I really pay all that just to use a sixth of it and dump the rest, or is everyone actually stretching these...

Not sure why some people are so quick to rule out the medication entirely. It's genuinely possible, and there's emerging research pointing toward a real connection. Hair thinning is even listed as a known side effect on the branded version of this exact same drug, whichever name it's marketed...
