Mounjaro plateau? When did you decide to increase your dose?
I’m currently taking 3.33mg of Mounjaro. I responded really well at the start of my journey, but my weight loss has slowed down to around 0.4kg per week over the last 4–6 weeks.
My doctor has been fantastic and really supportive throughout. His approach has always been that I can increase my dose incrementally if I feel like I need to. He was happy for me to stay at 2.5mg for as long as I wanted, but that if I noticed my hunger coming back and it stayed that way for at least 2 weeks I could go up by 5 clicks. That’s how I ended up at 3.33mg.
I’ve recalculated my TDEE, my diet has stayed relatively consistent, and I’m drinking around 2–2.5L of water a day.
I’m wondering if I’m just in a plateau and should give it more time, or whether it’s reasonable to consider going up to 5mg after being around 78kg for the last few weeks.
For those who have increased their dose after hitting a plateau did you notice a difference in weight loss/hunger? And has anyone eventually been able to titrate back down again after reaching their goal?
I’d really appreciate hearing about other people’s experiences.
