Ordering a second 2.5ml pen - advice appreciated

[ChubbyMcChubfest]

I've took my 5th bonus dose of 2.5ml Mounjaro yesterday. I'm still getting good appetite suppression and the brilliant absence of food noise. I lost 1lb last week which was whilst I was away at an All Inclusive hotel so I count that as a major win. I've lost 10.25lb in 4 full weeks which I'm happy with. These are all the reasons I'm thinking of reordering a 2.5ml pen later today.

For those of you who have done the same, did it carry on working for you? I'm just worried I might reorder but then in a week or two suddenly find that it's no longer doing the trick in terms of suppressing appetite and food noise. Thanks in advance for any feedback on your experiences.

Remember it mg, not ml. So 2.5mg, not 2.5ml.

To answer your question, for many providers, 2.5mg and 5.mg are usually the same price so I'd order 5mg and use 2.5mg out of it, then discard after the required 30 days. During that time, if you feel the 2.5mg isn't working for you, you can easily go up to 3mg or 3.5mg or 4mg or 4.5mg or 5mg each week with the pen to find the right dose that works.

I've been on 2.5 for about 10 weeks now and it's only just starting to reduce in effectiveness

I ordered my second pen last week and decided to go for the 5mg even though I only plan to continue with 2.5 for now. This way if I’m not getting the same suppression half way in, I can always up my dose. They both cost the same with my provider so I don’t want to limit myself when I don’t know what the next 5 weeks will be like

I also ordered 5mg which was just £10 more than the 2.5mg.

I ummed and ahhed but I'm glad I went for the 5mg because by the time it came to take it, 2.5mg was not particularly effective for me any more.

I've stuck with ordering the 5 mg pen, after the initial 2.5 mg as with my provider (ASDA) they are the same price - so it made no sense not to. I've just taken my 20th dose and I'm not up to 5 mg yet though (I'm taking sub doses between 2.5 mg and 5 mg as 2.5 mg isn't enough but 5 mg is too much).

If they are the same price with your provider I would get the 5 mg, and click count. If not then, well, it is a bit of a guessing game. Which choice would you be most irritated about getting wrong?

Thanks everyone for your replies. You all make a very good point about the 5mg being the same price as 2.5mg, which I think it is with MedExpress, or it was when I ordered my first pen with them anyway. I'm going to do that, but just use the lower dose unless/until it stops being effective. Thanks very much.

Yes, I am on my eighth week on 2.5. 20 lbs loss. Sometimes I am hungry, but suppression remains good enough for me. I won’t be going up to 5mg unless I stop losing weight. I don’t fancy mucking around with different doses from a 5 mg pen either, I am sure to do it wrong.
