r/UKMounjaro

Anyone else that's been ordering with Medicine Marketplace noticed that with their website update that your order history is completely gone from your account?

I went to order my next jab and noticed I can't use the "Reorder prescription" button that I usually do. Sent in a message through their contact form a few days ago and haven't heard anything so going to give them a call today, but wanted to see if I was the only one in this situation.

Let me preface this by saying I have lost 100Ilbs on MJ and it’s transformative. I work in central government with NHS, politicians and policy leaders. I’m frankly getting sick and tired of some Doctors in-built prejudice. E.g. today a doctor said that prior to surgery, they were shocked by a patient taking GLP1 who had stomach content from seven days ago, and that evidence showed people put at least 20% of the weight back on and everyone had to be on GLP’s for life. She was also very agitated about muscle loss being unavoidable and that poor people who lose weight won’t keep it off because of ultra processed food and lack of opportunity to exercise (her point being you can’t prescribe the drugs if you don’t address the other factors). A year ago I said to a room full of orthopaedic surgeons that they should prescribe GLP1s for all weight related/exacerbated conditions. I was laughed at, but those same clinicians are now saying the exact same thing so it is possible to change peoples minds. By the way the NHS pays between £6000 and £14,000 for a knee operation.
I would love to know the thoughts of you lovely people with actual ‘ lived experience’ and any ideas of how I can combat these attitudes next time I encounter them.

Yesterday I had my 2nd Mounjaro, 2.5mg.

But I have the feeling it isn't doing anything? Last week it seemed to block my food noise, but now I just have cravings and hunger... sounds familiar?

Hi all, I started taking mounjaro in March 2025 and I’ve lost almost 6 1/2 stone which I’m super happy with. Hoping to lose another 7lbs roughly but on 15mg the hunger is real and I’m struggling a bit. I know I can’t take more than 15mg at a time but has anyone taken it every 5 days instead of weekly? Or used a smaller top up dose halfway through the week? I expect it’s an absolute no-no but I’d like to hear others experiences. I just want to shift the last few lbs and then start reducing the dose down. Thanks!

Hi guys please help ❤️❤️❤️

just wondering if anyone’s had something similar on Mounjaro:
I am 34 years old and I’ve lost 36kg on mj

* I was originally on 10 mg, then went down to 5 mg
* Last dose before my break was 19th March
* Then on 31st March I had a really scary episode (ears blocked, vision going black, chest tight, felt like I’d faint)
* After that I was unwell for a week with vomiting/diarrhoea- they gave antibiotics biotics and said could be an infection from food.

Then I restarted:

* back on 5 mg for 2 weeks → felt okay
* then moved up to 7.5 mg

⸻

Since increasing to 7.5 mg I’ve been getting:

* “wave” feeling like I might faint
* dizziness/lightheadedness
* heart racing at times
* comes and goes, not constant

⸻

Tests so far:

* bloods mostly normal but possible low iron (waiting on ferritin)
* ECG mentioned Left atrial enlargement but doctor not too concerned, echo booked
I used to suffer from high bp but it’s all fine now
⸻

Just wondering:

* Has anyone had these faint/wave/panic-type feelings?
It’s really affecting me on a daily and I’m just so so scared, I already have health anxiety the feeling is so weird it happens suddenly then I panic and I feel like I will black out.

Hi everyone,

I’m a Trainee Clinical Psychologist who is currently developing a qualitative research project exploring the psychological impact of weight regain following GLP-1-assisted weight loss (for example Wegovy, Ozempic, Mounjaro, etc.) in people living with obesity.

Before finalising my research question, I really want to hear from people with lived experience to understand whether this feels like a meaningful or important area to research.

I’d like to know more about the following:

- Which psychological aspects of weight regain you think are the most important to explore.

- Whether there are experiences you feel are often misunderstood or overlooked by healthcare professionals or in research.

- What kinds of questions you think would be valuable to include in interviews.

- Anything else you think is relevant.

I’m not recruiting participants yet. I’m at an earlier stage of trying to shape the project in a way that is informed by lived experience to maximise its impact.

Any thoughts, experiences or suggestions would be really appreciated. Thank you for taking the time to read.

Are there any pharmacies that are flexible with click counting?

Hi, the last pen i brought was in january (12.5mg). That pen was spare as where I was on a subscription, there was just spare pens I had given the mounjaro price increase from september. For the last month, I have been using this january pen, and now when coming to order a new one because of the gap in between it’s hard for me to order a 12.5mg or a 10mg.

I still kept the 12.5mg box but I need medication asap as this issue has been ongoing for a week. I explained that there was some weeks here and there where I skipped my injection due to poor health and where I was in the hospital, but they are still refusing. Does anyone know a way around this or a different provider? I was currently with curely.

As title can anyone please advise where to buy Mourjano ( without the need to buy scales etc) with just sending photo evidence of my big gut lol

Thanks to jazzlike i just ordered from Bolt Pharmacy- maybe they use AI to estimate ( up to 95% accurate) BMI so happy rather than using silly scales.

This morning I took my first dose of Mounjaro, and within less than a minute I had what appeared to be an allergic reaction. My throat suddenly went numb, which was a really strange sensation. A few minutes later my throat started to swell, and I became very suddenly sick with vomiting and diarrhoea at the same time. It all escalated incredibly quickly.

Everything happened within the first 15 minutes. I tried to stay calm, took an antihistamine, and hoped it would settle. My throat felt swollen and uncomfortable, although thankfully it wasn’t severely affecting my breathing at that point.

Unfortunately over the next hour I continued being sick and had diarrhoea multiple more times, so I called 111. I do want to say this clearly for anyone reading: if you ever experience throat swelling after taking something, please don’t wait around like I did. Call 999 immediately.

111 arranged for me to speak to a clinician, who then sent an ambulance. The paramedics were absolutely lovely and confirmed it appeared to be an allergic reaction. They checked all my observations, which thankfully were normal, and gave me an anti-sickness injection. They also explained there can sometimes be a secondary reaction, and gave me the choice of going to hospital for monitoring or remaining at home as long as I wasn’t alone and would call 999 if symptoms returned. Since my obs were stable and my partner was with me, I chose to stay home.

This all happened over the course of around four hours. I’m now resting in bed, drinking water, and feeling much calmer. My throat still feels a little odd, but nowhere near as alarming as it did earlier. I’ve mostly got a headache now, which is probably from the stress of everything. I also could not stop apologising to the paramedics the entire time. 🫠

I’m genuinely gutted, because I really wanted Mounjaro to work for me. But because the reaction happened so quickly after taking it, I know this unfortunately means it’s not something I can safely use again. That’s difficult to accept, but it is what it is.

I also want to stress that this is clearly not a common experience, and I would never want my post to scare anyone away from trying it if it’s appropriate for them. For comparison, my partner also took his first dose this morning and has had absolutely no side effects at all.

I seem to have just been one of the very unlucky few.

Wishing everyone else the best with their journey. I just wanted to share my experience because it was such an unusual one.

Is it possible to buy a higher mg pen but use smaller doses. Just seen its £200 for the 5mg but £289 for 10mg. Can I go half way with the clicks? Make a 10mg pen last longer? Or is this a ridiculous thought. I only started last Wednesday but looking at how to make this affordable

So I've just finished my first 10mg pen and looking at grabbing my next pen but I'll confess that £200+ price is starting to really bite even trying to find the best deals/lowest prices via monj.

Has anyone stuck to like 5mg and still saw decent results or is it really a sort of thing you need to stick to the higher doses to maintain that momentum?

Also alternatively, anyone got any tips or suggestions for finding better prices etc?

49 weeks, a lot of ups and downs, weeks where nothing shifted, where I got thoroughly pissed off with not eating what I wanted. But also weeks where I've thrown out my old clothes, raided Vinted for what I wanted to wear rather than what I was forced to wear, and discovering my own style at the age of 54.

This morning I hit 9st 7 from a starting point of 17st 9. 10 years ago I was 24st and that's the first time I've publicly admitted that. I'm going to try to lose another 7lbs to give myself a buffer (I'm short) so onwards we go.

MJ has been absolutely life changing for me. and if I can do it absolutely anyone can so if you're thinking about it, go for it.

I really enjoyed the initial appetite suppression and weight loss. I lost 1.5 stone fairly quickly between last Oct and Christmas. Then at Christmas time, I started to get Eggy burps, nausea, wind, belching and diarrhoea. I've stuck it out, slightly increasing dose to 5mg and doing it slowly up through 3.5, 4 etc. I ruined a big night out for myself and my partner, an expensive night away in a hotel spoiled by me being ill. This has repeated almost weekly since Christmas. The only weeks it hasn't happened is when I couldn't face taking the jab and had a break from it.

This weekend past I've had another life event spoiled for myself and my partner.

It's always the same, 2 days after taking the injection the pain starts, the guts so upset you can feel it on the outside. Then the diarrhoea, no sleep as it always seems to happen at 4am or earlier. When the eggs burps start I know what's coming. I've tried eating only soup once the eggs burps start but that didn't help either.

I'm not appetite suppressed anymore. I am not fully binge eating either, but the days of eating half a dinner then not wanting any more are gone.

I have maintained my initial loss, and tomorrow is jab day and I'm just so sick of being sick.

Before I quit, have you any advice! I'm already taking windeze, settlers, pesto Bizmol, immodium etc. I take so much I regularly run out.
