Well, Ozempic at the highest dose has not lowered my A1c, and I’ve regained the weight I initially lost. I started Mounjaro today. I don’t think my PCP read the transition dosing chart correctly, but I can’t find one that isn’t pop science, so I’ll see how the possibly higher dose goes. I had less nausea on the higher dose of Ozempic, though I threw up more frequently and the food aversion was worse (you might think this would lead to weight loss, but no). I haven’t had other bad gastro symptoms from Ozempic. The Mounjaro dose stings less. It isn’t dialable, and has a fixed needle so it creates more medical waste, especially since each dose is an individual pen. They last a shorter time if unrefrigerated. I foresee potential issues with managing the number of pens for longer travel (such as, say, 20 hours in transit and 4 weeks away from home). I don’t think the pen shape will fit in my travel cold wallet. But if it works, I’ll figure this out. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/ask-the-person-taking-ozempic/981193)._
