Hello all. I’m needing some advice or help. I had the sleeve December 21 and had lost 80 lbs. I still had 10-15 to get to my goals so I started mounjaro in may. I’ve done great so far and have lost 12 lbs! We increased my dose to 5mg on Friday; and I’ve been an absolute mess. My body feels insanely exhausted. Walking up stairs I’m huffing and puffing. I can’t workout. I’m exhausted. My anxiety is through the roof. I also am getting married next month as well as moving 3 days after the wedding. I know I have a lot going on and I’ve been truly ok with not being overwhelmed. Friday we increased the dose and I’ve just felt so odd. My body feels like it’s a million lbs heavy and is so hard to do anything cuz it’s so heavy. I feel nauseous sometimes and most foods if not all foods make me feel repulsed. Nothing sounds good. Literally nothing. I’m barely eating. It’s been bad. I just don’t know if this is typical with increasing doses and if there’s anything I can do to feel better? I’m deff decreasing back to 2.5 or even stopping completely. I don’t wanna risk feeling this way. I’ve been just hysterically crying with anxiety and body weakness all day and yesterday. Does anyone have anything similar they’ve experienced??? Thank you!!!

I did go back to the place I get it from and got an iv infusion today and it’s helped some. She also mentioned that many of her clients have been coming in and saying they’re feeling extreme fatigue and exhaustion as well. So she thinks it’s a combination of the med, the stress, and possibly a weird viral bug going around. I’m hoping to just be completely better soon!!

Thank you so so much. That was so sweet of you. I will be decreasing or just getting off of it. Just sucks cuz I already paid for the meds too. Oh well. Not worth feeling like ass!!

Hey! Thanks for the reply. No way I’ll be able to eat 400 calories or less lol. I’ve just been sooooo sick like I just can only explain it by feeling extremely weak and fatigued. The anxiety as well. Wow. I haven’t had this bad of anxiety for a long time! I’m not sure if I got to my body’s happy place. I didn’t wanna still be 190lbs. My goal was 180 and I just couldn’t get there. Well today I weighed 176. 7lbs in 6 days. Not good. I should be happy but I’m like oh ****. This is bad. I’m going to go get an IV today to help with the fatigue I’m hoping. I just wanna feel like myself again.

I got on it bc I was stalled for 9 months. And that’s not necessarily true. I eat right and I still couldn’t lose more. I wanted it to help with the last few lbs. it’s pretty common. And I increased it cuz I didn’t lose for 2 weeks of the 4 week intro on 2.5mg so we tried the 5 and it’s just been absolute hell. I’m scared to even do the lower dose.
