Going down

[murraymcgill]

Hi I'm on 7.5 the suppression on 5 and 7.5 is nowhere as good as 2.5 don't k ow why I didn't stay on that but can o go back down to 2.5 or is thay stupid

Have you got the Shotsy app? It will tell you how much is in your system

@lapuf no I haven't I'll take look now thank you

@PromoJoJo do u think I need to go up to 10mg then

There's no point going down when you have a much higher amount in your body. Its tolerance and so you need a higher dose if its wearing off in few days after injecting. If its after day 5 that's normal as its the half life

I’d go up. Why would you go down, 7,5mis a step up to the therapeutic dose of 10, I’d guess that’s what you need.

GLP1 plotter/calculator websites will give you information on levels for free.

I've never gone down, so don't know what the impact would be. If you have a decent supplier you should be able to discuss your concerns with them.

The dose strengths should increase your suppression etc, but you might find the suppression would also have gone at 2.5mg too (this is why 5mg sometimes gets such a bad rep, because it comes after a significant weightloss on 2.5mg and your body is trying to recover).

My suppression comes and goes, some weeks it can be strong, others weak. So I have decided I will stick at the strength I am at until suppression is weak for 2-3 weeks consistently as I think I can engage willpower for that short term.

I also find calorie cycling helps me. Today is day 4 for me and I've just had a chinese (moderate portion/shared my meal with ds), from previous experience I am likely to feel more suppressed tomorrow.

You don't really want to be stepping down until maintenance!

I feel the same, but yes logically it must be my body getting used to it. I've stuck at 7.5 til now, but am going to try going up to 10

This is my 2nd dose of 7.5 I have another 7.5 pen so I'll see how it goes on that thanks all 😉

The reason why you did so well on 2.5mg is because it was a brand new medicine in your body so has a bigger effect. It won't feel the same now after a higher dose. It's like taking 2 paracetamol tablets and saying they don't work so you will take 1 next time.

@Mysticmaiden2024 your spot on I never thought that way onwards and upwards I suppose after another week
