And how it affected you?

(Assuming for diabetes but for any reason really)

@Cataddicted you started a thread on aibu about lying to get MJ and having a BMI of 27. You also have a heart condition in that thread too. I’m not poirot and I don’t give a fuck what you do but what’s your agenda here ?

From Numan. They are great for the first pen as they offer a great discount and care but I will shop around if I need more after

Did they 'care' when you told them you'd lied about your weight and that you weren't intending to take the drugs as prescribed/intended and had risked their pharmacy registration as a result?

@Frequency and @TakeMeToFlorida

I don't know whether you go looking for 'pro-ana' stuff on SM or are particularly triggered by reading about calories or restricted eating or what ever you might call it, but I spend a lot of time on MJ groups/threads here, Reddit and FB and I can honestly say I've never, or very rarely, seen anything like that. Most users are incredibly motivated to get healthy and are concerned rather than excited if they struggle to get their calories up (and to be honest, if you're obese, eating 800 calories a day won't do you any significant harm in the short to medium term and does not indicate an eating disorder).

In relation to amphetamines, my mother was prescribed these, by her GP, in the 1970s and the effect on her and us, her children, was devastating, including suicide attempts and psychiatric in-patient treatment (and a care placement for me). There is no equivalence between that and WLIs, nor between medical testing and licencing then and now.

hey there, please no judgement but I took it with a BMI of 25. I had weight to shift and really bad habits to break. A 2.5mg injection on a 10 stone body is going to have more impact than on a 15 stone one, so the starting dose was uncomfortable and I found myself peeing a lot a with stomach pain. I lost 5 pounds though so thought I would go to week 2. This week I found almost unbearable - more increased urination, no appetite and pain in the stomach. I have literally been willing it to leave my system. Tomorrow is my 3rd jab day but I won't be going ahead. I was a little bit stupid. The side effects of a 2.5mg dose on my body were maybe harsher but then so were the drug properties - this meaning I hardly wanted to eat at all and I was having plenty of 'crashes'. I know there are people out there aleady talking about microdosing and people have told me to maybe try 1.25 mg tomorrow rather than 2.5 but I don't feel safe doing that.

@Cataddicted On your other posts you said that Numan prescribed you with a BMI of 27, then 26, and now it’s 25? I emailed Numan about this and they were adamant that they don’t illegally prescribe. How did you get it from them? Did you lie about your weight and/or height?

SilenceInside · 24/01/2025 16:49

@Cataddicted the drug doses are not altered by weight. The effect is the same whether you are 10 stone or 15 stone. You are right to stop taking it, and I sincerely hope that you are not suggesting that anyone else who does not meet the prescribing criteria should take it.

Did you lie about your height and weight to Numan, and provide someone else's photos?
