First refill pen use: storage, injection temp & priming question

Hi all,

I took my first 2.5 mg dose last week and I’m scheduled for my second injection in a few days.

My endocrinologist prescribed me 10 mg pens so I can stretch them a bit in this early phase for cost reasons. Since the pen will last more than a month, I’m storing it in the fridge.

A couple of questions:

  1. Before injecting, do you usually let the pen reach room temperature, or do you inject it straight from the fridge? Any practical difference in terms of comfort or effectiveness?

  2. After attaching the micro-needle, I sometimes don’t get a drop to appear on the first try. The leaflet suggests doing a couple of priming clicks until a drop shows up. If I end up doing this extra priming before each injection, does it affect the actual delivered dose in any way, or is it already accounted for by the pen system?

Thanks in advance for any practical tips.

First day on 2.5 mg, still overate, how does it actually work?

Took my first 2.5 mg Mounjaro dose yesterday.
Today I basically had very low appetite all day: small breakfast, small lunch, almost no real desire to eat. But tonight I still ended up eating two big plates of pasta, and now I feel a bit guilty.
I wasn’t really hungry when I sat down more habit than real hunger. I almost treated it like a test to see if I’d feel an immediate change, but I still ate more than planned.
How does it actually work day to day? Is it mainly appetite suppression that helps you stay in a deficit, or does it also change the way how you “burn”? thanks
