Should I Go Up?

I started MJ at the beginning of October, and have lost 24lbs in total (SW 15st) which is reasonable, but not as spectacular as some losses, but Im averaging 1lb a week. I'm currently in my 3 rd 5mg pen, and looking to reorder. Suppression doesnt seem to be as strong as it was, but I don't want to rock the side effect boat... Question is - should I go up to 7.5mg?

100% yes you should. You might not get many side effects but you might get better results.

Good luck!

Yes if suppression is waning you need to go up. I didn't get any side effects even on 15mg.

Yes I’d increase. I’ve suffered with bad side effects but mostly when increasing doses and I then get more used to it

when you do increase keep your diet bland for a few days and that may help

Thanks, had a bit of tummy trouble, and lots of farts with both levels so far, but I don't want to lose suppression.

I started in October too and have been on 5mg for two months. I am not getting much suppression now and weight loss is very slow. I have just had a 7.5mg pen delivered and will start that next and just hope i don't experience much in the way of side effects.

Maybe that came across a bit aggressively! If you’re not losing weight currently I guess it is time to go up.
