I’ve been on mounjaro for several months, and have lost 30 pounds. My a1c is now in the normal range. Medicare part D pays for most of it (cash price is ~ $1200/month), but it puts me in the dreaded donut hole rather quickly, so that as of this month, it is costing me $250, instead of $47. But it will put me into catastrophic coverage in about 3 or 4 more months, so my cost will then be very little. I reckon that over the year, it’s costing me an average of about $125/month. It completely takes away any thoughts of food, as well as appetite, whereas without it, my mind constantly runs to “I want to eat everything in sight, especially carbs”. Worst side effect? Diarrhea.
Worst side effect? Diarrhea.
That’s a pretty bad side effect for me!
