About two years ago, I could not get Trulicity and had to change to Ozempic. I have now switched to Mounjaro but I am still at the second dosage level. My doctor is going to move me up to the higher dosage levels as fast as possible.

So far, I have had fewer side effects with Mounjaro compared to Ozempic
