3.75mg - is anyone doing this?

[Cosycover]

Very reluctant to go straight from 2.5 to 5 as I have a few things on during this time and don't want to be ill.

Is anyone doing the twists for 3.75, and if so, can you explain how to do this?

Thanks!

Probably six? But you have to use it in 30 days so you should really only take 5

You can technically get 7 doses of 3.75 mg out of a 5 mg pen, but as PP said - due to the 30 day issue with the multi-use vial it is 5 doses (on assumption of one a week). I've used doses less than 5 mg out of my last three 5 mg pens and always discard what is left after my 5th dose - just not worth the risk.

I started a thread, when you do the hard twist, can you still count clicks or is it just free wheeling and broken so you don’t know how much is coming out?

How many doses of 3.75mg will I get out of my 5mg pen?
thanks xx

Hi this has been discussed a few posts up

4 x 5mg doses = 20mg

So you'd get 5 x 3.75mg (18.75)

And you'd have a bonus dose too.

So 6 weeks but that takes you over the recommended cut of of 30days to use the pen.

How do you get on doing 2.5mg twice a week? I’ve been thinking about this but wasn’t sure if it was ok to do.

@HKJ84I tried it but it was still too much suppression. So I'm now doing 3.75mg, maybe every 7, 6 or 5 days. I'll see how I feel come day 5 and decide then.

Thanks for replying. That sounds like a good idea. I did 5mg for 8 weeks and tried to battle through but had 3 or 4 really nasty bouts of D&V and thought- this isn’t worth it. So I was advised to go back to 2.5mg but not really getting any suppression or feel like it’s supporting me any more than if I was just in a calorie deficit off the meds. I tried 3.75 for the first time last night. Got that fuzzy hangover feeling but no sickness or other symptoms yet. We’ll see!

here use this online calculator to work out your clicks and if you prefer split dosing etc. It is very easy and simple to use. Watch the video if you are unsure how the calculator works, but I found it very intuitive.

For those worried about exceeding 30 days, not true, it lasts much longer than that

30 days means nothing apart from ‘we want you to buy another pen.’ It does not suddenly become dangerous. If it did there would be a lot more stringent rules. I’ve used ones over 2-3 months and always fine and working

What risk do you think there is? Do you think people don’t use this dose? And do you think anything has ever ever ever happened to those that do? And if it had don’t you think it would be headline news and there would be huge restrictions.

@Bearsdolovetrees why are you resurrecting threads and quoting posts from so long ago, things have moved on since then.
