I Tried Mounjaro For 3 Months Here's What Happened
Our summary
In this video from the Man Does Midlife channel, a man describes roughly 11 weeks on Mounjaro. He says he started at 22 stone 11 lb after trying Weight Watchers, calorie tracking and exercise with little success. He was reluctant at first because of horror stories he had heard, but decided to try it after reading success stories online.

What else the video covers
He explains that a friend could get it through a WhatsApp contact for 20 pounds a shot, which he rejected because he did not know what he would be injecting. He used Med Express instead, completing an online assessment, uploading photos and giving his GP's details. He says he paid £149 for a first 2.5 mg dose, and that the service accepted him and delivered quickly. The pen sat in his fridge for about two weeks before he used it. He says the food noise stopped overnight and he barely ate the next day.
On side effects, he reports a mild headache each week after injecting, occasional bruising at the injection site, and constipation, with a bowel movement every second or third day. He injects only in his belly and rotates between four spots. He says he is 48 pounds down in just under 12 weeks, averaging three to four pounds a week, while eating his set calories, prioritising protein and fluids, and lifting weights at the gym four times a week. He mentions spending a lot on new clothes. He has set no target, plans to continue for perhaps two or three more months, and says he is concerned about what happens when stopping the drug.

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 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%.
- 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.
