Hi all,

I've been on Mounjaro for about 4 months now and I'm down from 175 down to 136lbs and almost at my goal weight! I also take Myoinositol and I take 1,500 mg of Metformin but I was trying to get off Metformin because it causes hair loss and thinning..
Unfortunately, when I tried to lower the Metformin dose all my PCOS symptoms came back despite still being on Mounjaro 7.5 mg per week...but my hair started growing back to full thickness (it does that whenever I lower it or get off it completely like in the past).

I also have Metabolic Syndrome and Hashimotos thyroiditis so my insulin resistance is pretty severe compared to only having PCOS, and from what I've read Metformin sensitizes your body to insulin but Mounjaro and glp1 don't necessarily do that. Instead they just help with weight loss and appetite suppression.
So my PCOS and insulin resistance belly came back tenfold when I tried to decrease Metformin and also my puffy moon face came back and my period got thrown off and bled the most I'd ever bled before and my androgens were rising and I noticed a male fat pattern distribution again compared to the female fat distribution on the higher dose of Metformin.
So I guess Mounjaro itself doesn't help in my particular case with any of the PCOS or insulin resistance symptoms. It just literally helped with general weight loss and that's it. Has anyone else had that experience because I'm seeing people see it reverses PCOS but in my case it doesn't help with the symptoms at all. It just literally only helps with general weight loss and that's it. But as far as targeting weight loss in my belly or anything like that it didn't do anything. Only metformin help with that.? The glp1 literally did not get rid of any fat in my belly or face or back, only metformin does that. I added some pictures so the first one is when I lowered them at Foreman dose and you could see that my hair is much thicker and healthier but my face looks all puffy like a moon face.. You can also see the picture of when I'm on Metformin and my stomach looks flat and then the pictures of when I lower the dose and I look like I'm pregnant again cuz the insulin resistance came back and you can also see when I'm on the higher dose of Metformin in my hair looks really thinned out.
