Hello,
I started Mounjaro 2.5 the week of new years 2025. Within a day of the 1st dose, I had restless sleep, muscle spasms, pins and needless in hands and feet and numbness in both hands and feet. At first I was thinking it was my pillow so I bought 3 different ones and flipped my mattress. But it was getting worse. I was thinking part was from my herniated disc's and my distal bicep tendon tear. But these symptoms just didn't add up to the occasional nerve compression pain i experienced before. This was absolutely continuous. I also noticed on my normal daily routines my muscles were so weak and tired. I had to take a lot of breaks. The day before my 2 injection, called my Dr and because neuropathy pain was not on any documentation he wanted me to take a second dose and see if everything subsides. It didn't. The pain only got worse and the exhaustion set in from lack of sleep. I called my doctor prior to the 3rd dose to give and update. I had not heard back and Due to my sugar levels I reluctantly took a 3rd dose. I called his office again and I refuse to take my last dose. I can't do it anymore. I'm hoping to not only share my story, shed light on a side effect but I'm also hoping to get answers as of reprieve status. It's only been 1 day but I am hoping it subsides.
Sorry you are experiencing this. I hope you get better. I worry how many other side effects will surface with this relatively new "wonder" drug.
