Has anyone noticed any other issues after stopping these medications?
I was on Mounjaro for around 18 months (the last 7 months at 10mg weekly) and stopped cold turkey towards end of Feb.
I did lose 50kg, ended up around BMI 21 which I was happy with!
I had some rebound hungerness around the 6-8 week mark, but my diet and exercise regime was very structured (mostly Huel and protein based foods, and lift daily as well as walk 10k+ steps).
I gained a few kg, but this is more lean mass and reduction in body fat to 10% (at least that’s what DEXA progress scans tell me). Appetite is completely manageable.
Yesterday, I reflected a little and realised that in the last month I’ve:
Greatly increased my caffeine intake from 1-2 coffees per day to 6-8.
I bought new Macbooks for my wife and I
Bought new Airpods,
Booked a month long trip away
Feel like I’ve started binging on chewing gum until it’s not even enjoyable
Greatly increased sugar free fizzy drink consumption (8-10 cans per day)
I’m questioning if this is related to stopping Mounjaro in some way? It hit me quite hard as I thought things were going perfectly with me keeping my calorie intake so controlled without too much difficulty, and not gaining fat.
Has anyone else experienced anything else like this?
