15mg MJ kicking my ass...

[Biltongmuncher]

Anyone else just gone up to 15mg and feel like they are being hammered? I have gone up slowly from 2.5mg over the last 9 months, and had a few side affects (bit of nausea, funny tummy etc) but nothing too major.

However, on 15mg I am struggling. I am very tired, but cant sleep. I feel nauseous and sicky all the time - like I have a constant hangover.

I was due to do my 3rd dose of 15mg today and I had to reduce it - I just cant function for another week like that.

Anyone else?

Overall though, I will say. I bloody love MJ, it has quite honestly changed my life. Made me happier, stronger, more focused and probably the most confident I have ever felt at the age of 46!

I couldn’t cope on 7.5mg. Feel shocking. Did 2 weeks but now I’m click counting and back down to 5mg. Feel much better. I can’t imagine how I’d have felt on 15mg!

How about going to 10

I was also absolutely fine until 15mg. 15mg was ok for me for 3weeks then it wasn’t. I had violent diarrhoea all night every night and my stomach noises were so loud I couldn’t be in staff meetings. I went down to 12.5 but had similar issues ( presume it was because I had a build up in my system) and am now on 10 which is ok as long as I don’t eat anything greasy or drink alcohol. The appetite suppression isn’t as good but it does take the edge off and I don’t want to lose more anyway really.

I did a slightly less dose today, probably about 12.5 and I have felt better. For me, the suppression is still very strong which is great, but I just can’t cope with feeling that rubbish. I think I will get a 10mg pen next time and just stick with that for a while. I am
not loosing much more at the moment so feel I may have reached my sweet spot on weight. Am just into a healthy bmi but doing lots of weights so feeling toned and good.

If you're in a healthy bmi why are you going up the dose? Why not start titrating down?

I’m exactly the same, second week of 7.5mg and feel sick through the night a lot however finally have the suppression I didn’t have previously, might persevere with it with antisickness tablets and hope it improves

I’ve never gone above 5mg. I think if a level is working then stick to that and don’t take it further. If a lower dose was still providing suppression then why go up?

I have quite literally only just gone into a healthy range - on my second dose of 15mg.

You would still lose as titrating down though and you don't want to be stuck on a high dose. I'd honestly titrate down personally to see the lowest dose that works for you now.

Im not at healthy yet but that's my plan. I certainly wouldn't want to be on 15!
