How do I increase dose on a 5mg pen?

I bought a second 5mg pen but now regret it. I took 5mg from the second pen last week but now feel hungry and have more food noise. How do I use this pen to take 6.25mg?

To get 6.25mg from a 5mg pen, you'll have to take the 5mg dose, then count 15 clicks to take another 1.25mg dose from the pen with a different needle. Bear in mind, the pen would finish quicker if using it that way.

I've never done this, @TiredOfNames is spot on.

You will probably need to hardtwist or use a syringe to get out your 4th dose and will not get a 5th dose.

How were you with 5mg last week, I find sometimes the suppression ebbs and flows on the same dose, I would temporarily engage a bit more willpower and see how it is this/next week. I would also think increase of just 1.25mg is probably negligible for effects at around a 5mg dose.
