Have been on MJ since Sept weight loss 1.6 pounds, had little side effects and been on 2.5 until 2 weeks ago then took 3.75 dose then following week 2.5 as it what was left in pen.
I was due to take next dose on Friday but was at hen do so decided to wait until had returned Sat evening so hadn’t had it for a week nearly. However started with diarrhoea Fri evening ( had fatty meal Thursday which not used to having ) and had some alcohol Fri evening which haven’t had much of since starting. I didn’t take the mj dose on Saturday.
Still got upset tum, getting gripe like belly pain too. Has anyone else experienced similar? Feels like it’s never going to stop, can’t understand it as been fine and hadn’t had dose for a week. Assuming must be due to the food and alcohol but would it last this long ? Nobody else unwell at the hen do. I sent email to provider GP but just got generic email advice back.
I have a pen waiting in the fridge I haven’t used yet but don’t think I am
going to continue with mj now but gutted as been doing well.It can’t be good for my health in the long run if doing this ? Anyone else had similar? If do When did it stop ? And any tips ? What did I do wrong ?

It was most likely the fatty meal and alcohol you had on Thursday/Friday. How many weeks have you been on the medication? Think the half life is 5 days so even though you hadn’t injected for a week you will still have had a build up in your system.

Here is a GLP1 plotter, if you put in the doses you have had so far it will show the levels in your system

I suspect it’s the fatty food, booze and not taking it as directed, you’re all,over the place, and don’t seem to have lost any weight on it either.

I am confused about your dosing. You went up to 3.75mg then down to 2.5mg? Then nothing for almost 2 weeks?

I have had diarrhoea twice and it lasted a couple of days. I just took it as normal. But could it be that your doses are a bit all over the place and then the fatty food with alcohol the following day.

I think you are meant to start at 2.5mg if you have a few weeks off. But not sure how many weeks it is where you have to start again. But you may need to start at 2.5mg against

Thanks @Littleannoyingperson
yes it probably is thanks. I should have put 1 stone 6 pounds rather than 1.6 !

@Wednesdaysdrag yes messed up dosing a bit but it only been a week since last dose not 2.
if I continue on it definitely won’t be drinking again and sticking to healthier options which I have been doing mainly. Will start back on 2.5 when better. Thanks for advice

1.6stone makes way more sense, and it’s fine to drink on it, many people do. I have a couple of times. No biggie. You’ve still got to live and have a social life.

id say though stick to the dosing schedule recommended. It’s fine to stay on a lower dose longer, but going up, going down, going longer, isn’t ideal really
