Should I take 5 mg today or 2.5 ?

[sinkaffair]

I've been on 5 mg MJ for a few weeks. I went up slowly after the initial 2.5 mg. So I did one week of 3.75 mg, then I did 4 mg and then I moved onto 5mg. I did 3 weeks of 5mg and on the third week I had some stomach issues ( which I not think are unrelated after speaking to a specialist ). I spoke to the doctor who prescribed the MJ and she said, why not try 2.5 for a week. So I did last week and I haven't had issues. Can I now go back to 5 mg do you think ? Or is that one week of 2.5 mg going to set me back ?

Anyone?

What's your appetite suppression and weight loss like?

It's been up and down really. I have lost some weight and some weeks the suppression has been really good. Other weeks, not so much.

Having gone back down to 2.5 for a week, there was no suppression of course.

The last two weeks on 5 before that, was also minimal.

When the suppression is good, I lose weight so easily, of course. But I'm still only up to 5 mg.

I have had zero side effects.

After my 3rd full dose of 5mg, I did have some problems and went to see a specialist doctor about it and we've decided it's probably not due to the medication. I'm having some tests and scans next week but we don't think it's related as I've had the same stuff in the past.

In any case, I did decide to go slow back to 2.5 for a week just to see if I was ok before I saw the specialist.

But now unsure if I will have an issue going back to 5 mg. The prescribing doctor told me you only need to go back to the start if you haven't had any for 2 weeks, so I think I should be ok.

I just answered my own question actually. Thanks anyway !

if I were you I'd go to 5 again. best of luck

You will be fine. Just take your 5 . Ive done so xx
