[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My question is why Mounjaro and not Wegovy?  Did you choose or your doctor and why?  (Am seeing my doctor later this week and am curious)[/quote]

Not OP, but for me my health insurance doesn't cover weight loss medication and I don't have T2 diabetes.  MJ used to offer a savings card that brought the price down to $25.  That card is no longer available.[/quote]

OP here - This is exactly why I did MJ.  I am currently talking to my doctor about moving to Wegovy because it is covered by my insurance. I would guess that once MJ gets FDA approval for weight-loss that it will be covered.  I think that MJ has been shown to have greater efficacy but it isn't approved for weight loss so getting insurance coverage is very difficult unless you have type 2 diabetes.  Both are around $1000 a month if you pay out of pocket.

With regard to doses, I think the default is to go up 2.5 mg a month until you reach 12.5 or 15.  I stayed on 7.5 and 10 mg for 2 months each because I was getting good results.  When the weight-loss slowed, I went to the higher dose.
