What to do? :/ - switch providers?

Hi all,

I’ve been on mounjaro for a year using Juniper. I got to my goal weight in October, and stopped the programme. Unfortunately like many others, i experience rapid weight gain about 5 weeks after stopping and all my PCOS symptoms came back. It was terrible and i was in a lot of pain.

I got back on 2.5mg in January and experienced some water weight loss. Then, in March, i was titrated to 5mg for 8 weeks and all was well, i got to my goal weight and remained that way.

They put me back on 2.5mg as part of my plan, but after a month of 2.5mg I’ve started experience more PCOS symptoms again, bloating, pain and inflammation, and some food noise. It’s been awful and I’m currently sitting in pain and bloated, and have gained a few pounds in a week (likely water ofc). It feels like I’m not even on medication.

Juniper, despite this, has said that it’s not recommended I go back to 5. I’ve explained that I’m not actually losing on 2.5 (not that i want to) but am experiencing all the inflammation again.

I’m of black ethnic background and am at higher risk with my BMI. My BMI is .03 points below what is considered overweight so I’m just within the healthy range but i worry this will change rapidly.

Do I have any options? Should i just wait to gain the weight back? I’m in so much inflammation discomfort all over again and am watching myself slowly get bigger, my breasts are dense and i feel awful.
