Fatigue is a very common side effect of Wegovy, affecting more than 1 in 10 people, while it is common with Mounjaro, occurring in up to 1 in 10 people.
Here’s what we recommend to help you:
- Make sure you are eating enough nutrient-dense food to get the calories you need for energy
- Ensure you are getting enough vitamins. For example, vitamin B12 (found in meat, fish, cheese and eggs) is important for energy production. Low vitamin D levels are also linked to fatigue, and while sunlight is the best source of this vitamin (we recommend that you always wear factor 50SPF sunscreen), it is also found in oily fish, red meat, liver and egg yolks
- Check your iron levels, as low levels can cause fatigue. Iron is found in liver, red meat, and beans such as red kidney beans, edamame beans and chickpeas
- Exercise regularly to boost energy
- Try to stick to the same sleep schedule and aim for 7 to 9 hours of sleep a night.
- Have a relaxing sleeping area (not too bright, noisy or warm)
