Do you need to increase your dose?
So I was started on mounjaro about a month ago. It’s been completely life changing and I have really noticed a difference in my eating habits. I’m only on 2.5mg and recently, after speaking with my GP, she asked me if I would be okay with increasing my dose to 5mg. Now, I don’t have an issue with increasing my dose, physically I feel fine to increase it, however financially it’s quite a jump in price. I only pay around $280 for 2.5mg which has been manageable for me, but 5mg is going to cost me $380 and that’s unfortunately a bit too much for me per month.
So my question is, has anyone just stayed on 2.5mg? Do the effects wear off? Do you feel like the results are less noticeable? I’m just trying to understand if there is really a need for me to increase. I feel perfectly fine on 2.5mg and I haven’t really had any severe side effects on it. Anyway, does anyone have any experience with this or advice?
