Thanks, that's really useful. My fatigue tends to stick around a couple days, so I'll just plan around it better going forward. Appreciate it.

Exhausted on Mounjaro?!

This might not actually be related to the second compound, sounds serious enough that I'd head to the ER honestly. Some genuinely severe conditions like cancer can cause overwhelming fatigue and body aches too.

Started five days ago myself and I'm exhausted too. Hoping this eases up soon. Already running low on energy due to a chronic condition, so this feels like a real setback right now.
Hang in there!

Early on with mounjaro is mostly about riding out the side effects, wouldn't throw in the towel yet. Plenty of solid advice floating around here for the various issues that come up.

PlateauCrusher I used to blame my fatigue on less food or water. Then colonoscopy prep forced a two week break, and although my food was no better, worse in places, my energy roared back. I didnt expect such a quick, dramatic change. So it became clear Mounjaro was affecting my energy.

still going through evaluation myself, but a lot of my symptoms line up with several functional disorders that showed up after years of intense chronic stress, maybe an infection too though i was never tested so cant say for sure. mounjaro hasnt really changed my baseline symptoms either way. starting out on it was brutal though since almost any medication hits me hard, got bad enough that i was essentially bedbound for a full week.

Yeah, easy to want to pin it all on mounjaro. Just went through a hospital stay myself after fainting, which isn't normal for me at all. Had eaten something rich beforehand and got pretty bloated right before it happened, figured mounjaro played some role in that. After a full night of tests, scans, and monitoring, they didn't really find much besides a hint of an underlying infection, started me on a course of antibiotics and I'm bouncing back fast now. If OP's been doing fine on mounjaro for months already, this is probably food poisoning or a stomach bug rather than the medication itself.
