Coming off Mounjaro — how did you deal with it?
Hi everyone, I’d love some advice from people who have been in a similar situation.
I was on Mounjaro for a while, starting at 2.5 mg, going up to 5 mg, and eventually going back down to 2.5 mg for the last couple of months. I also started spacing out my doses, and my last dose was June 28.
I’m currently at a healthy weight for my height (162 cm / 5’4”), but since stopping, my appetite has come back really strongly. The food noise is pretty intense and I’ve also been getting episodes where I feel like I’m going to lose control around food. I’ve gained around 1–1.5 kg (2–3 lbs), but honestly the food noise is bothering me much more than the weight gain.
For those who stopped Mounjaro, does this eventually get better? How did you cope with the increased appetite while adjusting?
I’m also wondering if I should just stay off and give it more time, or use 5 mg for another month and then stop again. I’d really love to hear what worked for others, especially anyone who was already at a healthy weight when they stopped.
