5mg whinge

[scullybags]

I did 2.5 for 2 months, worked great, surprisingly good suppression, felt fine.

Went up to 3.5 and 4.5, fine.

I've now been on 5mg for 2 weeks and zero suppression and feel queasy, burpy and shite.

I know it all hits people differently, I've read the threads. Just v annoying! I've been taking ginger and peppermint supplements from the start to combat the eggy burps but now I just feel rough and hungry and like I'm hungover.

Do I tolerate and wait or budge up counting clicks to 6? Move back down to 4 next week? I literally feel like I had 8 beers last night and need a pile of carbs. Am drinking a hydration tablet every other day and a protein shake every other day, along with the usual veg/lean protein/healthy lunch and dinner.

If 2.5, 3.5 and 4.5 were good for you, could you go back down? There's no need to go up if other doses are working.

That's what I wonder but lots of people say a certain dose just plateaus and stops working.

I guess I could do 3.5 again for a couple weeks but I'd worry if the suppression isn't great maybe I need to go higher and stop complaining.

I've seen threads where people struggle and feel shit on 5mg but fine and great on 7.5!

Yes I understand. It works differently on different people so if yours is still working, you can stay there. If it stops, then go up. That is also the guidance - you can stay on a dose that's working for you for as long as it is working. You can move up if the suppression isn't good enough, no problem.
