Splitting pens is working great for me. I am also splitting 15mg into 5 mg doses. Its super easy and waaaaay more affordable.

I want to do this!! How'd you bring it up to your doctor? Did they have any issues prescribing 15mg when on 5? I'm on 7.5, but I'd love to split the dose. Just don't know how to bring it up to my doctor

@@lvnmoss my insurance doesn't cover it so I told him it would save me a great deal of money. Also he knew there would be shortage issues coming up and I brought that up as well. He agreed with my concerns and happily wrote the 15mg. It is definitely going to vary Dr to Dr. Good luck to you!!

I am a registered nurse and I did not like Fridays. My Experience trying to get my meds was horrible. I tried it because it was cheaper than my previous which is called Everlywell Never had any problems So some times it is not worth the cheaper route. My NP is Tiffany Coffman. And I also split my doses too

Brittany can u please help me. I received real brand name Mounjaro from my doctor and the weight flew off. after four months my insurance stopped paying for it, then i couldn’t even get it. I have been on a compound form of mounjaro and it is not working, even though i have increased dose age. The sweet cravings are still there, urges in middle of night, just not working. weight loss painfully slow, like 2.5 pounds every three weeks. I paid $500. for 9 weeks of medicine. How do you pay the high cost of Mounjaro? Can you tell me who covers most of the cost? I go through a business named H…. Meds in CA but the actual pharmacy is in south fl., a town starting with an H.

On splitting doses ....If you're like me the idea of a DYI injection is terrifying. So good luck on taking the pen apart and dividing it all up. BTW, I had to go back down to 5 mg because I was losing too much weight on 7.5 mg and was getting really sick. We all have to find our Goldilocks dose.

You would need to have knowledge on doing that and equipment to do it. I would say it’s easier to request 5 mg to your doctor instead of splitting 15mg pens.

I've been on 5 mg for 8 months and have lost 73 pounds. I'm just now going up to 7.5 this week. Being at 15 mg to me as a non diabetic seems super excessive ESPECIALLY being in maintenance. Yikes that scares me for you. Glad you decided to go down in dose.

Looking forward to your video on splitting dosage. The question I have is after you empty first pen into a vial and split that over 4 weeks how do you resterilize same vial to use for the next 15 mg pen. Also curious if you will add other liquid to 15 mg pen content to aid in splitting evenly. I saw one video saying needing to add something to the MJ. Hope these questions makes sense. So much to learn on dose splitting!

I am also in maintenance and do not want to lose anymore weight. I’ve heard keeping with a weekly injection is best bc it keeps an even level in your body. Trying to determine the maintenance dosage is another thing. Trial & error.
