Im slightly dissapointed only lost a stone in 8 weeks but going up a dose now to 7.5mg so hopefully I'll lose it faster. |

I'm using it. Started on wegovy at the start of the year, now switched to monjourno. I found wegovy had the worst side effects but both are manageable.
Overall down 2.5 stone on the injections, considering switching the curvey description to average in the profile |

I had to fill in a blood pressure record over 7 days and hand it in
That was a week n a half ago and still no heard from the doctor S to what the results mean and or what I’ve to do or what medication I’ve to get
So still in limbo so won’t be getting the jab till I know that’s for sure |

Years ago, my diabetic consultant prescribed me Liraglutide (The brand-name version of it is Victoza) and I lost 6 stone over 3 months.
I've never went past the weight I was at, after they took me off it, and some times I wish I could go back on it.
But they explained to me at the time that once you've been on any appetite supressing drug, for 6 to 9 months, your body builds up a resistance to the active components, and is then basically useless.
I don't know what (if any) advice you get on Mounjaro, but as it has the same active components as Liraglutide, it likely will stop working after a while. |

I think the only risk in buying online is if you either aren't honest during the online consultation or are shopping from a dodgy supplier. The big online chemists are strictly regulated, I've never felt any worry using them.

I’ve been on it and have lost 2st 4lbs in 10 weeks. I’m going by 10 weeks as each pen last 5 weeks with the golden dose!
I’m also eating well, walking 10k plus steps and day and use the gym for weights 5 times a week.
I’m starting my 7.5mg pen on Wednesday! |

Yes and love it. Down about 4 stone. But I regret just going up doses every month, before I knew it I was getting quite bad side effects and no real difference in the weight loss, moved back down to 7.5mg and it’s ideal!
It also helps with other compulsions and cravings. I def find myself on here less and no intrest in drinking at all |

Reply privately (closed, thread got too big) | |
Before mounjaro etc was available I went for a gastric sleeve, best decision of my life. I’ve lost 9 stone so far. I know some people think the injections or surgery are a cop out or taking the easy way, the reality is, food is an addiction for whatever reason for some folk. I tried every diet known to man/woman and couldn’t stick to it |

Genuine semigultide is pretty easy to get hold of but people aren’t dosing themselves safely and it becomes dangerous very quickly.
I think it’s great that so many people are losing the weight that they previously struggled to but there’s still a lack of research about the long term results/ effects.
For now though, if it’s done safely and it helps people feel and look good then that’s what matters |
Reply privately (closed, thread got too big) | |
Mine have been pretty mild,a bit of bloating, a bit of acid reflux, but nothing crazy.
Can be worse with certain foods, if I have a heavy meal (uncommon as I generally don't feel like it on these drugs) then the side effects are a bit worse |

I'd let my weight sneak up. Nothing drastic but last few years I'd seen it go up a half or full stone annually. My BMI was just under 30 and I was sorely tempted to try it as a quick fix.
However, 2 folk at work are using it. One had the worst side effects and decided it wasn't worth it. The other has taken it too far. That terrible scrawny Ozempic look (think Ariana Grande). So much so that a couple of folk had a word with her.
I decided to go old school and just cut the cals by eating better and up the exercise. It's harder work but I am feeling so much better for it. Not sure a yo yo on and off weight loss drugs would work for me. |

My doctor put me on semaglutide the only major side effect is pancreatitis thankfully I've been fine since I started and dropped quite a lot so far.
I think I'm on it ad a temporary measure I've not spoke to him in a while but people that aren't using it safely are risking their long term health big time |

Yes. I’ve been on it for just over 8 weeks and have lost 20lb.
No real side effects other than coldness which I suffer with anyway.

It's not really. They are regulated, you have to supply ID, prove your weight, and finally a video consultation, before you get sent the treatment. So for me it'll be another couple of weeks before I start. |

They ask a lot of questions but of course it relies on you being honest, hence why there is a further video consultation solution. They also inform your GP.
Asda, Boots, Lloyds Pharmacy, Morrisons, Superdrug, Numan etc all supply this medication direct. It's not at all dodgy. |

I (Mr) have lost almost 6 stone with Mounjaro.
Started in September, with some side effects. but I’d say they have eased over time, as your body get used to it, but also that you don’t overeat, which seems to be the most obvious trigger for them.
Those side effects are “Explosive diarrhoea”... 2 words that you would never want to put together, along with general discomfort in your stomach.
Appetite is effectively suppressed, you get used to just eating smaller portions which are satisfying, and no desire to snack.
A side plate sized dinner portion has become the norm.
It is a reputable online pharmacy I use, who check in and report back to my GP, who have monitored usage and asked all the right questions.
A type 2 diabetes diagnosis was the trigger and that’s now fully in remission.
You can only get a prescription with a BMI over 30. It was photo proof requested last year that I had to provide, but as mentioned, think they have upped the verifications now.
Cost, £200 per month for full strength. Dosage builds up monthly (first month’s cost £150) 2.5mg, to 5mg, to 7.5mg, to 10mg, to 12.5, then to 15mg (full strength).
You can’t skip dosage steps and with the side effects, you wouldn’t want to.
The shopping bill has easily reduced by that amount, so it’s worked out cost neutral.
I’ve still got a stone to lose to be at the weight I’d be happy to maintain at.

I had my first injection last night and have a bit of a headache, nothing else so far.
Is the 2.5 an effective dose or is it recommended to increase the dose after the four weeks? I'm not overly bothered about losing the weight quickly, as long as it assists my weight loss, I'm good with that  |

I'm in my second week and as long as im losing I plan to stay on 2.5 and move up as and when I feel it beneficial to do so. Some people stay on 2.5 until they reach target, others move up every 4 weeks. |
Reply privately (closed, thread got too big) | |
The increasing strength after each month is to build up your body's tolerance to the side effects, so you're getting the appetite suppression without it being too severe on you.
Gradual and steady progression towards stronger doses and effective steady weight loss, while those tolerances build up.
I also see it as training yourself to be able to eat healthier (smaller) portion sizes and that becoming the norm for you, so you don't yo-yo losing then gaining weight after you get to your target weight. |

Everyone is different. Some people stay on 2.5 for months. I did 4 weeks on 2.5 and the. I’ve had 5mg for the last 3 months. Moving upto 7.5 for the next pen. I’ve lost just over 4st since second week of March ☺️ |

People think its a magic fix but it's not. You still have to put the work in, change your habits and work to fix your relationship with food. However having the food noise silenced makes that a possible thing to do |

Absolutely, it's an aid not a solution and helps change your relationship with food. It takes away the hunger whilst you do that. |

So just to give everyone an idea of my experiences on MJ, here is where I am up to so far!
I started on 26/05, so I'm just over 6 weeks in. I did the first 4 weeks on 2.5mg and I've had 2 x 5mg so far.
My starting weight was 16st 2lbs (102.7kg). No 6 weeks in I have lost 2 st 2lbs (13.7kg) and weigh in at pretty much dead on 14 stone. My BMI has dropped from 32.8 to 28.2.
I feel much better. I've dropped sizes in all of my clothes, feel like I have more energy, I don't get hangry any more, and I generally look and feel a lot healthier.
Side effects have been minimal for me. I read a lot before I started and had some worries about living with toilet issues etc, but the only things I experienced were slight headaches and broken sleep when I started. These were due to the fact I wasn't drinking anywhere near enough water and now I am back up to a reasonable amount and taking an electrolyte tablet each day I'm golden.
Cost wise, I'm spending around £110-120pm on the injections depending on the dosage using discount codes where possible or referrals, and I can categorically confirm that I save more on food than I spend on the injections. If cost is something that is putting you off starting you really should keep this in mind.
What will it be like when I want to come off? I don't know. I have found myself making healthier choices when out and about with work, picking the food which isn't so bad for me, only eating what I need and not clearing up the plate, turning down the pint with dinner. Hopefully these are the things that will stay if I stop using the medications.
Personally for me, it's working great and doing exactly what I want it to. While it might not be for everyone, and everbody will likely have a different experience with regards to results and side effects, I think it's definitely worth a look into.
If anyone wants to know more, or is looking to try it and wants a referral code which will get them £40 off then feel free to slide into my DMs. |

I'm 4 injections in and have lost just over a stone already which I'm delighted about. Next weigh-in on Friday.
Still on 2.5, its working so not looking to move up to 5.0 just yet.
It really is a life changer. A long way to go for me yet but it's changed my approach to food massively, and I feel a better person for it. |

What exactly is your point, other than constantly bad mouthing weight loss treatments which are a huge success for many people? |

My point is you don't need to spend a penny more to lose weight. If you ate the proper food you wouldn't be hungry. I just feel this jab is a money making business. My friend lost loads of weight when on it and put it all back on when off it. She is still paying back her loan. Sorry if my option doesn't match yours but I just say what I think. |

So I’m guessing your other views are also
Alcoholics should just drink less
Smokers should just stop buying fags
Drug addicts should just stop taking drugs
I’m surprised nobody has thought of this solution before.
So glad your here you’ve just solved world addiction issues in one simple comment.

So what you’re saying is that everyone is the same. So if one person can do something then that’s a blanket rule that means everyone can?
You mentioned your friend put all the weight back on. So this indicates your friend has an unhealthy addiction to food?? Mounjaro sorted the short term but once off it the addiction came back into play. Possibly some counselling is needed in this situation to solve the deeper lying issues would be more beneficial.
Every person is different just because you did it doesn’t mean others can and to suggest you are experienced enough to judge others purely based on your own personal experience and expect them to be the same as you afraid is the very definition of ignorance. |

It’s been a while since I’ve been on fab but I’ve lost 5 and a half stone on Mounjaro did not in a million years think I had that much to lose !! None of my underwear fits me lol thousands of pounds worth and some Brand new never worn !!! Gutted but once I’ve got them Vinted I’ll start buying new
I’m a proper advocate for it it’s made such a difference, I have issues with eating always struggled to eat (yes it’s lack of eating I out weight on) and stomach problems all my life and it’s been a joy to be on, zero change to my diet if anything eating and drinking more because I now feel hunger !! Never felt hunger before until I start rattling lol zero change to my lifestyle and zero side affects I’m defo one of the lucky ones |

Sorry bluebelle but that’s not the same for everyone, I’ve had issues with my stomach and bowels my whole life, doctors told me a bag was the last option so instead I just don’t eat but because I’ve hardly ate since childhood my body isn’t in the same starvation mode as some, I can go over a week without eating and when my fibro kicks my are and I don’t wake up for a week I also don’t drink any water or pee !! Hence the numerous hospital stays over the years for dehydration
When I do eat my body clearly stores it but then it’s trapped with no where to go but back up the way at its worst rarely does my body ever function like someone normal !
But having folk make judgy comments with zero understanding of what I’ve gone through for most of my life !! Rubber gloves are a staple supply in my bathroom !! As are home enema kits
Not everything is as cut and dry as folk think, and as I said in previous post I’ve never felt hunger or thirst routine and other people are usually the prompts for me to eat or drink otherwise I simply forget !!
As they say opinions are like assholes some are best kept private if you know it’s going to offend |

Appreciate your points Bluebell and what you say here is interesting. Smoking, eating disorders are addictions… some would say sex is too. Just a thought, no offence intended and no judgement made on anyone’s lifestyle but … interesting.
Mounjaro helps with addictive behaviour and also for people with pituitary disorders that affect metabolism as it also affects GLP-1, a hormone which regulates metabolism.
We are all adults I guess and if the benefits outweigh any side effects then that’s what we do with any meds. For those that do it with will power, bravo 👏🏻 |

Mr here,
I've struggled with spinal osteoarthritis since I was 16. I've been prescribed every muscle relaxant, every anti inflammatory, every opioid, every anti depressant/with pain management properties...that you can think of. I have ADHD and have been on multiple medications for this. Oh, and also an ex-smoker of cigarettes and the green stuff.
I have went cold turkey on each and every one of these medications with minimal side effects, thankfully. Weight loss, however, isn't as simple for my particular case.
To be fair, you have enough knowledge to know what you're talking about, for your body. You aren't qualified to make an assessment of anyone else's situation.
Some opinions... |

Sorry Bluebelle but I dont agree with your thoughts on this.
Life isn't as simple as that .
Every overweight person knows what they should be doing to reach thier goals .
The fact is if there is a tool out there to help them on thier way be it weightloss medication or surgery then why shouldn't they give it a try!?
Don't you think these people have tried every diet going and have probably lost weight but put it back on for one reason or another.
You mentioned you suffered from Anorexia & bulimia so surely you know how difficult that cycle was to break just as it's difficult for overweight people break thier cycle too.
However not every overweight person is overweight due to over eating.
I know why I'm overweight & it isn't by overeating it's more to do the food choices I make . |

"You mentioned you suffered from Anorexia & bulimia so surely you know how difficult that cycle was to break just as it's difficult for overweight people break thier cycle too."
I think this is the key point. Whatever method you use to lose weight, if afterwards you go back to doing what you did before, then you'll also go back to the weight you were before.
If you use the injections to "break the cycle" and change to more healthy eating and exercise, then it's more likely to last.

In theory the answer is both…
I don’t know what its like for NHS Scotland… but even with the “relaxing” of guidelines it almost impossible to go on prescription from NHS
I was having a chat with my doctor as I am considering giving it a go, they said they had had about 400 enquiries about it and only had 2 that met all the guidelines for prescription |

Eating the "wrong choices" isn't a problem in itself, as long as you do it in moderation. It sounds like you're eating too much of the "wrong choices".
Now only if we could think of a word for eating more than you should of something... |

Seems that everyone has their own reason for going on it...just hope in years to come there isn't a massive cost to the NHS if they find health issues related to so many people taking this stuff.
What I can say is...it's becoming increasing difficult to see a pharmacist because of it. My kid had tonsillitis and when I took them to the pharmacy I was told to go back at 1400hrs and they would look at their throat (it was 0915 when I went in) the reason being they were snowed under with giving out methadone to addicts and also giving out weight loss jabs. Far from ideal that really 👎 |

Perhaps the giveaway is that getting prescribed weightloss medication via NHS Scotland isn't easy, certainly not to the extent that one particular pharmacy are overrun with prescriptions to the detriment of their normal service.
I also live in an area where sadly drug usage is a big problem. Rarely have I seen anyone in my local pharmacy being given methadone or ever had it mentioned to me by anyone working there as a reason they're busy.
Not sure why you want to make this shit up. |

Methadone users are given a time allocation to come and get their prescriptions and there’s usually an extra member of staff on at this time purely to deal with them, it would by highly unethical for any pharmacy to give those as the reason !! Mornings are usually very busy for pharmacies because they are collecting scripts from the doctors and making up their regular meds/dosset boxes etc they in particular use the mornings for pre planned activities because guess what the doctors are open during the day ! If your child had a sore throat and you were up that early why not get an emergency on the day appointment at your local surgery ?
Just because someone is a methadone user doesn’t mean they don’t deserve to be looked after !!

Do you know what the criteria is for getting mounjaro is on the NHS
NICE has recommended tirzepatide (Mounjaro®) for weight management for eligible adults living with obesity, who present with other weight-related health problems, including:
dyslipidaemia (abnormal fat levels in the blood)
hypertension (high blood pressure)
obstructive sleep apnoea (when your breathing stops and starts while you sleep)
cardiovascular disease (heart and blood vessel disease)
type 2 diabetes mellitus
There will be a phased approach to service rollout within primary care settings (for example, GP practices), and initially tirzepatide (Mounjaro®) will only be available on the NHS to those with the highest clinical need. At first, people living with obesity who have been diagnosed with 4 of the weight-related health problems listed above and a BMI of 40 or more (adjusted for ethnicity) will be eligible to access tirzepatide (Mounjaro®) through primary care settings.
Even in the next stage in 2 years time, you will still need 3 of the 5 above to get it on the NHS
It’s almost impossible to get via a NHS prescription …. Most people will be doing it privately |

I think there are people who genuinely need it and will genuinely benefit from it. Good luck to them.
I also think there are a large number of silly people who will use it in an attempt to shift a relatively small amount of weight, a stone or stone & a half for example. I work with quite a few women who now look about 10 years older cause they've a lot when they didn't really have to. |

"To many side effects
I’ve had no side effects whatsoever
Ditto."
Many people get side effects |

Monjaro users what are you thinking of the new prices as of 1st September albeit online Pharmacies have already hiked their prices. Would you consider using Retatrutide? |

For me, it seems like a lot of money for a short term solution. I'm just trying to go old school and count calories |

Well we are getting a look at what American healthcare would look like…
So thank you Trump!
I had literally just started so I’ll be speaking to my pharmacist about wegovy |

I'm moving to wegovy. Hoping for the best.
Today is the first day since April that I actually think I can notice my weightloss. I'm not giving up now. |

Unfortunately it also helps ruining muscular mass, which is way more difficult to build up than fat. |

"Have just ordered my first treatment so fingers crossed
That word "ordered" just makes it scream of backyard medication.
It's not really. They are regulated, you have to supply ID, prove your weight, and finally a video consultation, before you get sent the treatment. So for me it'll be another couple of weeks before I start.
Do they do a medical?
They ask a lot of questions but of course it relies on you being honest, hence why there is a further video consultation solution. They also inform your GP.
Asda, Boots, Lloyds Pharmacy, Morrisons, Superdrug, Numan etc all supply this medication direct. It's not at all dodgy.
Horror stories on the Internet including someone dying which was linked to it."
Interesting to hear people’s stories. So many negative reports side effects and muscle loss. Hope it works for you all! |

"I think there are people who genuinely need it and will genuinely benefit from it. Good luck to them.
I also think there are a large number of silly people who will use it in an attempt to shift a relatively small amount of weight, a stone or stone & a half for example. I work with quite a few women who now look about 10 years older cause they've a lot when they didn't really have to. "
This is the frightening side effect I’ve seen a lot of. |

"According to the press the price of Mounjaro is about to skyrocket which is such a pity.
170% increase from 1st September "
Why is this not a shock! 🤦🏽♂️ |

"Iv had every side effect going. This is my last week, too miserable on it "
I had a friend with very similar responses. Too many side effects and miserable. They binned it. |

I have been on it for 2 weeks… and just had a weigh in.. just to gage where I was
I have lost “loads”… it even shocked me!
So now I have a huge dilemma with the price increase… I have seen what my new price is going to be, and I am fortunate enough to be able to still do it… and because I literally get paid last working day of the month, they are allowing me to get my next dose a little bit early so I can pay the current price
But I do feel a lot for people who will need to make the hard decision… it’s already made a believer of me |
Reply privately (closed, thread got too big) | |
So what's the cost for these and where's best to get them and what losses can I expect in month one ?
Can you eat normally or U need diet at same time ? |

You do know you get 5 dose in the one pen?…..
It’s known as the golden dose you just need to buy syringes with the right needle gauge and draw the left over out of the pen and administer it the same way you have been
So instead of breaking the cost down in 4 jabs it can be done with 5 making the cost more effective on the pocket |

Retatrutide is not licenced and still in trials, so that should never be an option.
Wegovy is cheaper and just as effective as MJ longer term. |

It's not short term. |

You should be eating a healthy diet when on the jabs, if not when you come off them you’ll be back to square one in no time with bad eating habits |

Sky news are reporting that there is now a secret agreement (or was a secret) so that it’s still going up… but not by as much as was!
So hopefully that will help people a little….. |

Still double the price but not as bad as the 170% i will be moving on to another one unfortunately |

Regarding the cost of this drug, is it fair to say the money you would save on food is enough to cover the jabs, if that makes sense ? |
