I switched from OZ 2.0 to Monjaro a few months back. Started at 5 mg for 2 months, then 10 mg for same and am now moving to 12.5 mg. Good news was @ 10 of Monjaro, my A1C went from 6.8 to 6.2 without me making any changes. No weight loss over same period. I had RNY bypass 38 years ago. No problem with switching meds. My issue was on day six, Monjaro half life was over and I felt hungrier. It took another day after new injection for it to work again. I wish Monjaro had a screw top as the large gray plug is hard to refrigerate and carry enough when traveling for a few weeks. Best of luck to you.

Just FYI, I'm taking my GLP-1 RA every six days instead of every seven, and have had no problems. Just because the clinical trials tested every seven days (for very logical reasons -- I would have done that, too) doesn't mean that it's the best answer for everyone. That being said, if your insurance is covering it, they will balk at a six-day cycle, so you may need to talk to your pharmacist and doctor about doing a box occasionally on private pay to sync it all up.

And yeah, the single-dose injectors are annoying from a variety of perspectives, and in fact, are not necessarily used in other countries, as I understand it. But hey, it's not an aspect of this that is under our control, right? So it's just another thing to roll with.
