2.5mg to 5mg! (3.75mg?)

[Foreverboymumma]

So I’ve done 2.5mg for 12 weeks and I’ve lost 1st6lbs. I have just ordered my 5mg pen but I’m so nervous to go up so much!
how’s everybody found doing 3.75mg first? Was suppression higher for you? Was it like injecting water? Did you have more side effects? Currently on 2.5mg I’ve had none!

I am also interested in answers to this as I am contemplating the same!

3.75mg was great for me, suppression was good and no side effects.
I found the leap from 2.5 to 5 had unpleasant side effects, so came back down to 3.75 for a month and then increased to 5mg with no side effects at all.

I did 2 x 2.5 mg per week = 5 mg.

If and when I got up to 7.5 mg I might do the same ie. split in half.

Just a way of (hopefully) mitigating side effects for complete woosies like me!

@Foreverboymumma I just went for it after 4x 2.5 and the suppression for me wasn't as good I'm now on 7.5 3 left of them and have a 10mg pen ready to go and im still chasing what I had on 2.5 I've lost 2stone 1lb I started November 8th good luck

I am on my 3rd 3.75mg after 5 weeks on 2.5mg.
Im finding it good. No side effects, still enjoy my meals but only need to use my willpower on the last day or two.
Plan to do 2 more then go up to 5mg.

10 weeks at 2.5mg for me. 22 lbs down Today I went up to 3mg.

I did first 4 weeks at 2.5, then got a 5mg pen and injected first week at 2.5, then 2 weeks at 3.75 and lastly 2 weeks at 5mg. All going good still.
like you wasn’t sure about the jump from 2.5 to 5 (double)

Sorry to jump on the thread here but I'm new to all this, just on week 2 of my first pen but musing ahead to two weeks time when I reorder. How do you do 3.75? Is it about counting the twists and halving it?

Hey, 3.75 is 45 clicks of a 5mg pen :)

I’m so glad 3.75 is working for you guys I’ve just ordered my 5mg pen to start next week I have one more 2.5mg dose left☺️ I shall report back with an update x

Thanks so much Forever.

After 4 weeks of 2.5 and 10 weeks of 3.75, I think I'm going to increase to 5 tomorrow. I've lost 16kgs so far, and my BMI has dropped from 31.5 to 26.

How many clicks is 3mg? Do you feel any different with 3 from 2.5mg? I’m due to jab tomorrow and unsure what I want to do

dose you want divided by pen strength x 60

if you are using 5mg pen….
3 divided by 5 x 60 = 36 clicks.

if you are using 2.5mg pen
3 divided by 2.5 x 60 = 72 clicks. 1 full dose of 60 and an extra 12 clicks.

I have done my second dose of 3 mg. I feel increased suppression and no other side effects so I am happy.
