I have been taking Mounjaro since March of this year, initially privately and then prescribed by my GP. I started on 2.5mg and suffered side effects each week, but my glucose levels began to fall and the weight began to drop off. The side effects settled and in August I went up to 5mg, in all I have lost around 20kg and my Hba1c went down to 45mmol. I'm still on 5mg but over the lastonth or so I find I'm having to take more insulin and my blood sugar rises much higher and much quicker after eating, so it seems that Mounjaro may have stopped working, has anyone else found this?

Hiya, I have been on since August and have progressed up to 7.5. I was 2.5 for two months, then increased to 5 for two months and now on the second pen of the 7.5mg. Doc has now written prescription for 10mg, I have had slow weight loss compared to some (averaging a 1lb a week). However, in the last week I have lost 4lbs, so it appears to be kicking in. However, HbA1c has gone from 81 to 41! 
Doc was worried I am having hypos! Dropped to 10 units of insulin and aiming to come off soon.
I would ask to go to the 7,5 pen and see how you go. Good luck!

Hi. I can’t help with your question but I have a question based on your post. My GP won’t prescribe Mounjaro and when I tried to get it privately, they wouldn’t give me it because I’m diabetic. I’d be interested to know where you got yours so that I could possibly try them.
