7.5mg works less well than 5mg

[ICriedAllTheWayToTheChipShop]

Just as the title says! I moved up to 7.5mg a couple of weeks ago and I'm finding it doesn't work especially well for me. I've had a considerable increase in food noise, i.e., less suppression, and I can eat more without feeling full. My weight loss has subsequently stalled. I feel like going back down to 5mg on my next pen, but will that still work now that I've been on a higher dose? Am I stuck with increasing to 10mg and hoping that works better?

I'm really annoyed because I was in two minds about increasing to 7.5mg, but I went for it because the 5mg was wearing off by about day 4. Now I feel like I could have managed and saved a bit of money as well.

Oh yes, I meant I was going to move up to 10mg when I reorder, but will finish my 7.5mg pen first. Thanks for the input, all.

I found it quite stronger. I get folks seem to think the half doses were randomly not tested so they don’t know, but it’s like other drugs, to make a difference the medication has to increase by a certain amount.

for example my blood pressure med went from 25 to 50mg. You couldn’t get 30 or 35, the scientists fully understood the drugs to make that decision on strengths.

im consistent suppression on 10. And found it totally different to 7.5. They recommend you move up monthly till you find your optimal dose, which is the dose below the one you can’t tolerate, but you know when you get there.

it isn’t it’s working quite well, or wears off on day 6, it is weight loss speeds up and you have consistent suppression 24/7 and it becomes your new normal.
