92lbs Lost in 7 Months: Which Is The Best Dose Of Mounjaro?
Our summary
K Eddie says they lost 92 pounds in 7 months on Mounjaro, from 1 May 2025 to 7 November 2025, starting at nearly 300 lb after 25 years of failed diets. They then tapered down and stopped in December 2025. The video answers a question they get often: which dose worked best. Their answer is 2.5mg, and they say they would stay on it much longer if they started again.

What else the video covers
The speaker describes losing 21 lb in the first month on 2.5mg, with strong appetite and food noise suppression that began around day three or four and lasted all month. They moved up to 5mg after the guidance they followed said to titrate every 4 weeks, and say this was their first mistake. On 5mg the effects started wearing off after 3 or 4 days, and by the second 5mg pen the suppression was no longer working for them. On 7.5mg they report strong suppression lasting at most 5 days, plus their worst side effects: lower energy, severe hair shedding, severe constipation and sulfur burps. They took one 10mg dose by accident after a failed micro dose and say it wiped them out.
For stopping, the speaker says they tapered with four weeks on 5mg and just under four weeks on 2.5mg. They cite the September 2025 price increase and doubts about needing 15mg for maintenance. With hindsight they would taper over about 7 months, matching their time on the drug, because they say hunger hormones can return higher than before. They also say they would consider micro dosing or injecting 2.5mg every 5 days. These are their personal experiences, not advice.

Our guides closest to what this video covers, with prices checked weekly.
- Mounjaro dosage chart: the label's schedule, every pen and vial, and what each dose costs
Mounjaro starts at 2.5 mg injected once a week. If more blood sugar control is needed, the dose goes up in 2.5 mg steps after at least four weeks on the current dose, to a maximum of 15 mg a week for adults and 10 mg for children 10 and older. Lilly sells every strength self-pay starting at $499 a month, so on the brand the price does not climb with the dose.
- Mounjaro side effects: the label's numbers by dose, the low blood sugar risk, and how tirzepatide compares at weight-loss doses
On Mounjaro's own label, the common side effects are stomach ones and they rise with the dose: nausea in 12, 15 and 18 percent of people at 5, 10 and 15 mg against 4 percent on placebo, diarrhea 12 to 17 against 9, and any gastrointestinal reaction in 37 to 44 percent against 20. Most of it happens while the dose is being raised and fades. Low blood sugar is rare on Mounjaro alone and is mainly a risk when it is added to insulin or a sulfonylurea. Below: the full table, the rare warnings, and why Zepbound's numbers for the same molecule look higher.
- Mounjaro for weight loss, and why Zepbound exists
Mounjaro is tirzepatide approved for type 2 diabetes. Zepbound is the same molecule from the same maker, approved for weight management, and it goes to the same 15 mg. So unlike Ozempic and Wegovy, there is no dose ceiling pushing you from one to the other: the reason people move is coverage and cash price, not strength. Using Mounjaro for weight is off-label and a prescriber's decision. In the one head-to-head trial, tirzepatide beat semaglutide, 20.2% mean body-weight loss at 72 weeks against 13.7%.
