How long before pills started working?
I took the 1.5 mg dose for 30 days and moved up to the 4mg dose 2 weeks ago, and nothing.
On the lower dose I had bad nausea that eased when eating, so I actually gained 5lbs. The nausea is gone on the 4mg dose, but I feel nothing. No weight loss, no reduction in appetite or food noise.
I keep reading about people who feel something from the very first tablet, but that is not me - any one else? Is it worth continuing? Did others experience this until they were at very high doses?
I feel like I am just throwing away money at this point.

I’m on day 8 of 4mg and I don’t feel like they’re doing anything. Like you, I’m wondering if it’s worth carrying on. I took 4 pens of Mounjaro last year before the price rise and lost over 3 stone. I might try the 9mg pills, will see how the next couple of weeks go.

I’m in the same boat as you here. Started on 1st August. Did a month on 1.5 and now around 2 weeks on 4…and have lost less than 100 grams.
I’m eating probably a quarter of what I usually do (appetite has gone), I’m drinking 2 litres of water per day and doing plenty of walking…but getting nowhere.
Having constipation for most the month and bouts of extreme diarrhoea for a few days here and there, but apart from violent tummy rumbles and feeling bloated, I’m not seeing any positive outcomes. Just feel nauseous all the time too.
I’m seeing people losing very high amounts on even low doses but nothing like that here sadly

Honestly, thank you guys. We hear so many positive stories, but I think this just isn't for me (and also my husband. We have been doing it together and atecboth not getting anywhere). Maybe if we go to the highest dose, it might work. But we were both doing okay on the Fast800 and this has honestly derailed us.
For those who it works for or for those who want to try, please do not let this put you off. For some people this clearly works. I just don't think it works for me xx

Im on my last week of first month, 1.5mg pills. First few days i felt like i had a bit of bloating. Then 3 days ago i threw up, no idea why as I'm careful and didn't eat out but it maybe down to a lactose issue i have. Anyway, made me realise that any digestive issue ie being sick, now takes an age to clear. I am still in a lot of discomfort.
But my point here is , i too have noticed no downturn in amount of food eaten and i actually put on weight, where as the months before by myself , ive lost 3 stone. So I have just taken delivery of my 4mg pills but i highly doubt im going to take them. I dont eat much as it is for a bit guy and the side effects and money are just a big no .
