Staying on 2.5

Hi everyone, I am coming up to my 4th dose of MJ on 2.5mg. Good suppression, delighted with the loss so far, though I do get a little hungry around day 5. Some of the side effects are niggling though (mostly low mood and insomnia). I know this is the point where I "should" go to 5mg but am worried about making the side effects stronger.

Does anyone have experience of staying on 2.5mg that they would be willing to share. I've got about 2 days to make up my mind!

Thanks
Smile

This is where I'm at now and I can't decide. Dose 4 today. And I have syringes to take the bonus dose next week. My suppression is good. Weight loss seems to have stabilised to 1kg ish a week. I'm concerned upping my dose might have side effects or completely remove my appetite. I want to lose about another 10kg. Lost 4kg so far.

I will see how I get on with my last 2 doses and prob order 5 for flexibility and to stop ME spamming me!

I don't think you are at a 'should' go to 5mg point at all - being a little hungry around day 5 is quite ok and normal tbh.

I stayed on 2.5 as it works, I am on my second pen and have my 3rd in the fridge ready for Christmas time.

No micro/bonus dosing, I just take it as prescribed. I have had very minimal side effects though, but I eat very cleanly now
