Taking a break/skipping a week

Hi all,

Has anyone missed a week?

I'm relatively new to mounjaro, so haven't had any alcohol yet so not sure how it will affect me. I'm going on a girly weekend abroad soon and don't want to be suffering from side effects or hangovers. I was planning to miss a week but not sure if there would still be too much in my system still.

I rarely see these friends so whilst I don't plan on boozing all day and night I stil want to enjoy a couple of drinks and not be stuck in the hotel room missing out on rare time with my friends.

Thanks

Yes, I have missed more than a week (when I was preparing for a colonoscopy which was all.clear thankfully) It was absolutely fine, I just took my injection 10 days late.

I'm planning to skip a week next week too as I'm going to France and although I don't want to go mad I just don't want to be disinterested in food.

How long does the pen keep if you skip a week? I'm thinking of skipping two weeks when I go on holiday. I would not mind starting for the 3 weeks before the holiday as I feel it will hopefully make me feel more confident

The pen keeps for 60 days once opened.

30 days once opened.
I didn't skip actually and have been on holiday twice. Each time I was able to eat and drink just in small amounts. Didn't feel any worse than usual and came home and still lost weight. One break actually had a VIP lounge with fancy drinks and food included (booked before MJ) which I paid a lot for.
I feel that once you start then you are committed. Having weeks off to enjoy yourself/be normal isn't a healthy change as that why we put the weight back on. It's the nights out, weekends away, birthday treats, bad day take aways etc.
For me the drug is too expensive to have a break and put the weight back on just to have to pay to get it back off iyswim?
