Can i stay on 2.5 mounjaro for weight loss?

I've been on the 2.5mg dose of Mounjaro for a few months now, and I'm actually seeing good results for my weight. I feel quite comfortable and haven't had many side effects. Can I just continue staying on this lower dose instead of increasing it?

Actually bro, many people stay on 2.5mg if it is working fine for them. No need to speed up to higher doses and ruin your budget and stomach if you're already losing weight. Just ask your doc if you can keep going on this dose.

Haan na, why to unnecessarily increase the dose if your body is responding well? If you are losing weight and feel good, staying on 2.5 is totally fine. Just have a word with your doctor once, ho na, to be fully sure.

I am also planning to ask my doctor about this drug soon. If you stay on 2.5mg, does the weight loss slow down after a few weeks? I am a bit scared of the side effects of higher doses, so I would prefer to stay on the lowest one if possible.

If 2.5mg is giving you good results, then there is no rush to move up at all! Staying on the lower dose keeps those nasty side effects away too, which is awesome 😊 Keep focusing on healthy eating and let the dose do its slow magic!

Yes, you can definitely stay on 2.5mg if it's still working for you. Just confirm with your doctor first.

Yes, you can absolutely stay on 2.5mg as long as it remains effective for you. Many people use it as a maintenance dose or because their body is sensitive to changes. Just track your weekly progress and discuss it with your physician during your next visit.

I completely panicked when my weight loss stalled on 2.5mg and thought I had to jump to 5mg immediately. But my doctor explained it is totally normal for weight to fluctuate. I stayed on 2.5mg for another month, and the progress started again quite naturally.
