when I stopped monjouro for a month
I came here to document what actually happened when I stopped monjouro for a month in case people want to know.
I started monjouro in 2024 march and lost 70+ lbs and got my type2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome under control. before monjouro I would regularly crave fast food, getup and drive maybe to multiple drive-thrus because I got hungry on the way home. that stopped within weeks of starting the inections. I started finding time and energy to create healthy small meals and enjoying the taste more than the bulk of things.
because of mental stress I lost contact with my doc and the prescription expired, so I had a month of no injections. within a couple weeks I was feeling pain when I didn't eat. I felt the urge to go to drive thrus and before I was thinking about it I was doing it.
the pain was very intense, it was new again, so I saw it for the first time, in a way, and it was very difficult to resist. I immediately forgave any past guilt about overeating that lingered.
So does it work? yes, will the hunger come back if you stop? it did for me, I think if I stopped it with more intention I might be able to do better.
I hope this helps someone.
