No, complete opposite, very full all week even up to next jab day, until now 4 days after my 6th 5mg jab and finally starting to feel some hunger!

I'm not sure whether to go up or stay at 5 I need to order soon

If you’re not getting suppression why would you stay on this dose?

murraymcgill · 12/12/2024 09:01

@ThatCoralShark well I have another 3 shots of 5 so I don't have a choice

I was responding to your post saying you need to order soon?

murraymcgill · 12/12/2024 13:34

I know I will order on Monday so your saying I should go up? Do u think it'll change over the next few weeks ? I wasn't being cheeky sorry if you thought that

I've found 5mg less effective than 2.5mg. I've got another jab to go and then I'll move up to 7.5mg and I'm hoping that's better.

murraymcgill · 12/12/2024 14:24

Thank you @rredavocado ill probs do the same and just try really hard this month I'm not sure if I can move up after 2 jabs at 5mg or not

Yes you should go up. The initial dose works well for some people I guess as it's a big jump from nothing and there is an element of placebo effect too. 5mg is a low dose and your body does get accustomed pretty quickly to the dosage. There is a reason they recommend 4 weeks at each dosage then move up.

ThatCoralShark · 12/12/2024 14:40

Op, yes I’d plan to go up when you’ve completed this pen.

murraymcgill · 13/12/2024 11:11

@ThatCoralShark can you move up after 2 injections of 5mg to 7.5 I feel I could put weight on this month as I feel hungry all day no matter what I eat

No I would strongly advise following the manufacturers guidelines, it would be very foolish indeed to move up too early. You need to do the month,

ThatCoralShark · 13/12/2024 11:26

Also it builds every week so next week maybe better, but don’t move up early.

murraymcgill · 13/12/2024 13:06

@ThatCoralShark that's my 2nd jag this morning so we'll see how it goes I'll stick to it for the next 2 weeks and see but I'll order 7.5 on Monday
