I've been on Ozempic and then switched to mounjaro and while Ozempic worked really well at stopping food noise, Mounjaro does very little for some reason. I hate that the food noise is still present and I can absolutely confirm that bloody hormones ruin everything because I'm literally rage-eating before a period.

I wish I could go back on Ozempic but my GP says they're not allowed to switch me back because MJ works at controlling my blood sugar, which is why I'm getting it - not for losing weight. Even though my BMI is 43 and I could use some help.

What about Zepbound? I tried that for a few months (was like 25 lbs overweight) and I shed the excess off with very little side effects. I stopped taking it 3 months ago and have only gained about 2 lbs back.
