Injections every 6 days instead of 7?

[WouldYouLikeMeToSpellThatForYou]

Hello all

New to these threads, started in the September group.

I'm thinking about injecting every 6 days instead of 7, I know it says not to but are there any serious reasons that I should know of? Very little online about it or on these threads.

My rationale is that I need this motivation to kickstart me, and then when I'm into it I can start retraining to accept the hunger and cravings. However that's how every diet fails for me because I'm unmedicated ADHD and the binge/dopamine hit is real with food.

Also if I bring a day forward each week (6 days between not 7) it means it will work out that I get to take a dose the day before holiday so more willpower not to go binge mad which is my usual pattern when abroad. I don't want to have to bring my medication with me so would prefer to do it as close to the day I go as possible.

You can, and probably won’t have any side effects, however:

1. see how you go - you will be surprised. I think you will manage to go the 7 days no problem.
2. you can bring it forward before your vacation, it doesn’t mean they all need to be brought forward.
3. by injecting every 6 days, your pen will last you less - almost a week less than if you do every 7, so it will be pricier .

Thank you @3wDavid
Yeah I was thinking that but wondered if the bonus dose would even that out in terms of being able to get an extra dose so it would last the 30 days anyway so x5 doses every 6 days instead of x4 doses every 7 days.

You should use it as per the instructions. It is a medicine and needs to be treated as such. If it is no longer effective by the end of the 7 days, you need to go up a level and take a stronger dose.

Thanks @unsync
It's the initial full feeling that was really freeing. I'm someone who is hungry all the time - whether that is for dopamine hit, comfort or food.
I know they say every 7 days but online there's info to say that doses need to be at least 3 days apart
