Mounjaro insomnia
MJ (at 5mg) caused me to have complete insomnia from week 11 onwards. I take mirtazap**e at night the past 24 years to induce sleep. But it’s like the MJ completely cancelled out the affect of the mirt, and the only way I could get to sleep was taking Zolpidi*m. I came off MJ after 6 wks of insomnia, and my sleep restored within 12 after coming off. I tried to go back on 2.5mg MJ after 21 days off, and the insomnia came back within 2 weeks, even at the 2.5mg dose!!! I am so upset as it was working so well for slow & steady weight loss (16lb in 16 wks), and I had no other side effects.
Does anyone know how or why it causes insomnia in some people? Is it causing a brain stimulating effect? Or what causes it? In my case, it’s nothing to do with super low cals or low blood sugar, I was eating properly on it. It has some sort of activating effect on my brain, that’s keeping me awake, can anyone explain why???
