“Golden dose” measurement question

[ohdoriswheresthesalad]

Hello, I’ve been on mounjaro for 4 weeks now and am thinking of taking the famous “golden dose” tomorrow, before going up to the 5mg pen.
1st 2.5lb lost, but suppression is significantly lower by Thursday from taking Mondays the last 2 weeks.

Ive seen that 0.6 is the dosage of the 2.5mg, I was just wondering if anyone has ever got more than 0.6 out and what that works out as in mg dosage wise?
if I got 0.7 or 0.8 out what would that be?
my brain can’t compute it 😂
I don’t want to “overdose” on too much but wonder if a good bridging dose before 5 next week would help?
Thanks in advance

I think 0.9 will be 3.75mg and 0.6 is 2.5mg

So would 0.7 or 0.8 be something like 3.33?

0.8 will be 3.33mg. 0.7 is 2.92mg

Always be 100% confident of what you are doing, and double/triple check it before injecting, before you do anything off prescription.

Working out prescription medication doses based on "I think" and "something like", or even someone's click chart if you cannot validate the calculations yourself, is not something I would recommend......

I have seen people on here a few times replying to messages like this on other threads and getting the maths wrong so be careful.

@Snozzlemaidthank you I will take heed of your advice. I was just wondering if I was able to get any more out what the dosage was so I could make a decision. I will likely do the 0.6 or 0.7 so it’s not such a risk from the 2.5. Thank you

I got about 0.7ml from my first pen and used it as a small step up to 5mg as you’re planning to do.

You get about 0.7 out of the last bit. I always take the "golden dose" as they call it because i'm not made of money 😂

First few times I just primed the insulin needle pressing gently until I got to 0.6.

Last few times I've just primed with a drop and whacked the lot in 😂😂😂

Has anyone had any side effects from the golden dose? Moving from 2.5 to 3.75 (ish)
Ive only had nausea on day 1-3

I took 0.6 in a syringe yesterday for my golden dose.
My pen jammed so I wouldn't have been able to do ut without.

I have the syringes that have been recommended on here, 8mm 32gauge 1ml ones from uk medi I think it was.
My husband has been doing the jabs for me as I’m too chicken to put it in my skin, so he will do the syringe for me he’s been reading up and watching videos so hopefully will go fine.
I had the best suppression from my left arm the first week, then I done my right arm, left stomach then right stomach but didn’t feel the same as week 1&2 if I’m honest going back to my left arm tomorrow night!

@Herewegoagainandagainandagainsorry i misquoted the wrong person. Thank you for your advice I will take heed of it and make sure it’s all done properly and safely

Managed to get 0.8 from the end of the pen which I was pleased about! Taken this morning, hopefully a good bridge dose before 5 next week
