@marilynmercedes657 The 2mg shot is the maximum dose of Ozempic so you should have been on it for at least 4 months to get the titration to that level. Was that required for glycemic control (usually patients only go to 2 for weight loss in addition to glycemic control)? Tend to lose more if overweight. Did you lose any weight since you started Ozempic? At some point almost everyone stops losing weight on both Ozempic and Mounjaro. When losing weight exercise is important to lose fat rather than muscle. Without exercise the loss of muscle lowers the number of calories required faster than with fat loss. Some never lose weight on Ozempic. You can discuss changing medication with your doctor but that will require another 4–6-month titration period to get to effective doses. Cannot just switch to high levels of Mounjaro.
