Plateau / maintenance etc

Question

My endocrinologist got me on mounjaro right when it came out in like mid 2022 cause none of the other diabetes meds were helping. I started at 2.5 and went up to 5 after about a month. I’m a cis man in my early 50’s. The effects hit super quick. My A1C went to normal, I went from somewhere around 250lbs to fluctuating between 186 - 195 (186 was my “high school weight”) My cholesterol went down, my sleep got better, energy etc.

The past year has been a wicked stressful year for me. Had to deal with a lot of work and family stuff and with that, my weight has crept back up to 205-215 or so an my A1C has gone up as well. The “food noise” that fizzled away came SCREAMING back. I mentioned this to my doc and I did 7.5 for a month, and it did not change anything at all.

Anyone out there get in in the early days feel like it’s wearing off? Did you go up and have it work?
