Anyone take Mounjaro for weight loss?
Apparently it works very well, unfortunately for me, my BMI is not 30 and I don't have diabetes, so the two doctors I went to will not prescribe it.

There are shortages because too many doctors are prescribing it to non-diabetic patients. It doesn't sound like you need it...

I believe that it slows down the digestive tract, like other similar drugs in the class.
My doctor has had me on it for T2 diabetes. Supply is still a problem, and I haven't lost an ounce of weight from it.....

My wife was on Trulicity for Type 2, then her Dr. switched her to Mounjaro and she lost 20-25lbs over 6 weeks. The change was made because her A1C wasn't in the range he wanted.
Supply is an issue with both. She doesn't always get the injection she needs on weekly basis due to lack of available product. Pharmacy should prioritize Type 2 over weight loss/vanity. . . Me, I'm just the opposite with Type 1 for 45+ years. I have gastroparesis and need a gut stimulant to empty my stomach while the insulin is floating in my blood stream.

Since the SEO spambot woke this thread up, let me give an update. My doctor raised my Mounjaro dosage for type 2 diabetes from 5.0 to 7.5, and has now bumped it up from 7.5 to 10.0. No appreciable weight loss, but I have noticed that I can only eat half portions of many things before I feel stuffed.
On its prescribed function, I have cut my long-lasting daily insulin injection doses in half, and my A1C dropped from 14+ to 6.4 since January.....
