I'm 6 months in and 2 stone down- so losing steadily and happy with what I am achieving.
I have worked slowly up to 10mg and did this in small increments (1mg per week with a pen dose change) as I got bad side effects with larger dose jumps.
I have now been on 10mg for about 5 weeks.
My week starts with total loss of appetite for 3 days (indeed mild nausea and severe heart burn) and I have to force myself to eat as would not if I didn't. Then better for another 2 days and bloody ravenous days 5-7!
My pen ran out on Saturday and the next pen only arrived today. I took the last 5mg of my last pen on Saturday and have felt good food suppression since. I was going to take the remaining 5mg as soon as the next pen arrived.
However I am wondering if I can delay the next dose to Wednesday? That way I don't get the peak/trough effects that I am currently?
Has anyone done this?
In short can I split a once weekly 10mg dose to two 5mg doses spread over the week? Anyone know if the pharmacodynamics of that are okay?
Thanks
