"To be honest I think wegovy just isn't as strong as 10mg mounjaro."

"I’ve recently switched from 15 mg Mounjaro after being on it for just over a year, during which I lost 30 kg . This is my first month on Wegovy 1.7 mg for maintenance. I’m hoping it works well, although from what I’ve read, it’s not quite as potent as Mounjaro. A lot of people mention increased food noise, a bigger appetite, and the possibility of regaining some weight after switching."
