The 5th 'bonus' dose

I took my 5th bonus 2.5 dose of MJ today and for the past 3 hours I've had a really upset stomach and cramps. Until now I haven't had any side effects at all.
Is this dose bigger in any way? I'm due to move upto 5 mg next week and have the pen ready but this had really put me off!

Depends how you did it. If you used the 'hard twist' you will have had the same dose as usual. If you used an insulin syringe, you will have had whatever was left in the pen and it will have shown up on the syringe measurements.

Also, many people get side effects at random points in their journeys or could be something you've eaten or a bug!

How did you extract the dose? Hard twist or insulin syringe?

I did the hard twist, so it just looked liked a standard dose to me.

Is the bonus dose definitely a full dose? Has anyone who has extracted it with a syringe confirmed it's the full amount?

If extracted with a syringe it’s usually slightly more than a full dose.

I extracted mine with a syringe and got 0.9ml (a normal 2.5mg dose is 0.6ml).

I usually get about 0.7ml when I extract with a syringe.

That's very helpful, thank you

If you do the hard twist there will be some liquid still in the pen. You will get roughly a single dose.

Extracting with a syringe gets a bit more out. About 0.7 when I did it.
