Should I go to 5mg

[Catontoof]

Hey everyone so on April 30th last year I started mounjaro I lost 1.5 stone fairly quickly had really good suppression. Because of fear of moving up and stupidly wanting to drink at times iv messed around on and off 2.5 for the past year sometimes going 6 weeks without it then re starting but. Iv lost 2.5 stone in total. Iv been back on 2.5mg for 2 weeks now with very little suppression and I'm thinking now is the time to move up.

I know I'm gonna have to move up now to probably at least 7.5 iv never really had more than 4 in my system at once.

is it ok to move up now?

Id do at least 4 doses before moving up, as you know it builds up in your system. I’ve been on it 40 weeks now and only recently had a few weeks on 7.5. Some days/weeks the suppression is a lot higher than others

I agree. I'd do 4 consecutive doses on 2.5 before moving up then be consistent and take it weekly to make sure your body adjusts. I have a few drinks on mj on a Friday night. I'm careful but it's ok to have a bit.

You should do 4 doses of 2.5, I did 5 as I used what they called the golden dose! You then go up to 5, you are not allowed to jump to 7.5, the dispenser won’t allow it

Follow the dosing schedule of a minimum of 4 weeks on each new dose unless your provider who has your full history agrees otherwise.

Your use/desired use of what has been classed as a high risk medication seems very erratic and uninformed, be sensible.
