Can I revert to a previous dose?

I was losing on 2.5 of MJ but decided I should progress to the next, 5mg.

I do not like the side effects as it feels like being pregnant, no energy, headaches and constant nausea. I couldn’t care if I never ate again.

is this ok?

Yes. When you do your next order, most providers offer three dose levels, one lower than the current dose (if higher than 2.5), the same dose and the next dose up. You should be able to choose to go down to 2.5mg.

The other thing to consider though is that you may be able to tolerate the 5mg after a while as your body gets used to it.

This has happened to me too- second week on 5mg -feel too nauseous to eat which then makes me feel week and shaky . Next week I’m just going inject 2-5 mg from the dose and see how it goes , and if that’s ok reorder a 2-5 pen .
Any thoughts about doing this ? Thanks

I'm in the same boat after my first week on 5mg. Just taken 2.5mg as a half dose for now.

It seems totally reasonable to re-order a 2.5mg pen, I can't see the pharmacy having a problem with that.

Most suppliers are the same price for 2.5/5 so I would buy 5 but try 2.5 then if ok for next week use a syringe and maybe try 3 or 3.75 and see how guy feel
