Increased anxiety

Good afternoon everyone,

I started Mounjaro on 28th August at 1 mg, as I counted the clicks. I’m so glad I didn’t inject the full 2.5 mg, as I suspected I might be a super responder because I’m usually quite sensitive to medication.
My appetite was suppressed enough, but I could still eat three healthy, well-balanced meals a day. The food noise was completely gone, I didn’t crave unhealthy foods, and I had no desire to snack. I’ve lost 5.5 kg (12 lbs) in just two weeks, which is amazing!
The only downside is that after my second injection, my anxiety really increased, and I’ve had two panic attacks since then. Has anyone experienced something similar? If so, did your anxiety settle down after a while?
I would really like to continue with the medication, as I’m having such positive results, but obviously my mental health is my priority.

I’d be very grateful for any feedback or thoughts from anyone who has experienced something similar. ❤️
