Going from 5mg to 7.5mg

[aylis]

Did anyone order the 7.5mg pen assuming they would move up but then decide to stay on 5mg and count clicks from the 7.5mg pen? Just wondering how it worked out for you and if you then ordered another 7.5mg pen or went back down to a 5mg pen. Is it safe to take 6 doses rather than 4 from the opened 7.5mg pen?

Alternatively has anyone had bad side effects on 5mg, moved up to 7.5mg, and how did that work out?

The move from 5 to 7.5mg is the toughest I’ve experienced. I had really bad side effects and couldn’t stomach food at all for weeks. Eventually I was fine after a couple of pens at the 7.5mg. But I would recommend staying on 5mg and on the last dose of your pen instead of keeping back a bonus dose I would try the 7.5mg by taking one full dose of the 5 plus how ever many clicks to get to the additional 2.5mg. That way you can see how you go at 7.5mg.

I’ve been doing 6.25 on my 7.5 pen. I’ve gone over the 30 days on another pen and it was fine.

I’ve been doing 48 clicks of my 7.5 as I was worried about going up too quickly. I’ve been fine. It works out at 5 doses instead of 4. Which makes it actually 30 days apart so that’s fine.

Sorry I mean 35 days apart so really not much over.
