I’m on Mounjaro and it’s pretty crappy. Works great, lost around 70lbs so far in around 8-9 months but it makes me feel pretty sick and other side effects are no fun. It’s especially not good that it’s so hard to get ahold of and you have to build a tolerance to its more negative side effects. So when my pharmacy leaves me hanging for a few weeks, or a month at a time and I have to then go right back to the max dose, the ride is even less fun. I would love to have more energy too. I hope this clears trials soon.

I used Manjaro before Arch, but I've never even heard of Retardutide.

I've been taking Mounjaro for just over 3 months. I'm down 41lbs so far and more importantly my A1C is now 5.5 vs 10.2. I've been lucky. My side effects disappeared after 6 weeks and I've never waited longer than 2 days for a refill.

Are these medications temporary until you lose the desired weight, or is it something you have to stick with even after you are at your goal weight?

  The effects ware off after about 3 days and your normal appetite generally kicks back in. Mounjaro is intended for long term use for diabetics so, assuming you’re taking it for weight loss like myself you’re generally able to quit whenever you feel like it.

  > is it something you have to stick with even after you are at your goal weight? Depends on the situation. I know multiple people who took it, improved and then stopped. They had a bit of a bounce back, but nowhere close to what it was originally. (How they ordered at restaurants, for example, permanently changed.)

  That entirely depends on if they go back to their old eating habits. According to studies most do.

    I can see why. The appetite comes right back almost immediately. Additionally the feeling of constantly being low-grade sick goes away so people feel pretty great generally. The appetite suppressant factor is only a part of how it works. The other half is always feeling like I’m a weird smell away from barfing all the time.
