Trulicity made my husband really nauseous...he is now on Mounjaro and doing well.  Hope it works well for you!

@chrystaltree, congratulations. I think some time ago you mentioned you would like to lose a few more pounds. Don't know the answer to this but after you have reached your desired weight would the dosage be lowered or would you just continue with the lifestyle you were doing while taking the Trulicity to maintain the weight?

 

All good questions that I have no real answers for.  Ideally I'd like to lose just 10, maybe 12 pounds to get to a true Medium in tops and pants.  I'm at the maximum dosage and losing a pound a week now so I should be where I want to be in January.  Then I'll consult with my doctor about stopping the weight loss and just maintaining.  I will have to take Trulicity for life or at least for several years before I can attempt to go off.  I do exercise and eat mainly a lean protein/whole grains/vegetables diet.  I have not much appetite but I eat to stay healthy.  Im pretty sure I'll have to increase my calories and add some healthy fats to stop losing weight. And go back to the lowest dose of Trulicity.  I'm at 1200 calories a day now.  That's what I think but we'll see what my doctor says in the New Year.


 


@chrystaltree  it's really working for you. Well, in January we will be looking for the good news.
