half dose or full dose.

i have just recently started on mounjaro, I am starting my 2nd pen at 2.5 because i have switched supplier.

I did a year on a different brand and lost over 4.5 stone, i then stopped, went on holiday and gained about half a stone back. I know i need to make some changes and the plan is to get to my final target weight, which is probably about a stone and a half off, and then maintain and the plan is to not be on the injections forever.

I have joined a gym, have a PT, I track my calories, I have started to track macros and am working on healthy eating.

my questions, I've noticed on 2.5, there is very little appetite surpression for me when i have a full dose once a week, and wondered if anyone has tried 1/2 a dose twice a week?

Do you notice any appetite suppression at all on 2.5 in the days after injection? If you notice a fair bit that wears off, it might work. But the drugs really aren't designed to be taken like that. If the 2.5 produces no result, doing 1.75 is going to do even less. Usually when a lower dose isn't producing results you just need to wait until you move up one.

You didn’t have to order 2.5 again because you ordered from a new pharmacy. You can order a higher dose from a new pharmacy, you just need to prove you’ve already been prescribed 2.5 by sending a photo of the pharmacy label on your last box.
