Anybody taking Mounjaro ?

How is it working out for you ?

My Mother has had a phone call from someone described as a Doctors Assistant (a role I'd never heard of in the UK) asking if she'd like to be part of a weight loss program taking it.

She said she wanted to discuss it with her family first.

All sounded a bit odd to me when she told me about it so I did a bit of research.

Some of the listed side effects were disturbing.
Especially for a patient in their early 80's with other health conditions.

But, in the interest of information gathering (Since she doesn't know anyone with similar conditions to her own to ask) thought I'd ask here.

I did for 2 months total the side effects were brutal for me.
Vomited every day and constipation so bad that last a week before I stopped.
I have diabetes 2.

@Justmeraeagain I read that in an article in the BMJ while researching it.

I'm wondering if the 'benefit' is more relevant to younger people.
Seems a bit cruel to make older people go through all that.

@Picklebobble2 I am not sure vomiting every day is "healthy"' ,but that is me.

@Justmeraeagain But lots of people taking it are being sick(er)
That's why I doubt it's worth taking.

@Picklebobble2 I believe if I would have took it longer I would have had serious issues.
