Can anyone advise me pls

Ive just taken my 2nd 7.5mg injection and I’m experiencing a huge difference from 2.5 and 5mgs.

Previously I hadn’t had any bad side effects and suppression was ok and food noise had reduced. I still had to work hard leading up to injection day to keep myself in calorie deficit.

The first couple of days after taking 7.5 I feel very ill and can’t face food at all. This lessens somewhat as the week goes on.

I was averaging 1lb a week weight loss apart from a big loss on week 2. I have lost 1st 2lbs I’m very happy with this. I feel healthier and my mobility has improved.

I have lost 2lbs both weeks on 7.5mg.

Im about to order my next pen and think that I should maybe stick at 7.5mg for another month as the idea of increased side effects and not eating worries me.

BUT I have another 2 weeks on 7.5 and things might stabilise? I have to order now to ensure that I’m at home for the delivery.

Has anyone experience of this and what did you do.

Thanks

7.5 kicked my arse - constipation and diarrhoea kicked off big time. I waited til I’d had injection three and I still felt like that so I ordered a second 7.5 pen (had previously moved up each time). I’ve just had the fifth dose from that 7.5 pen and it’s hit me hard again (was about 9.4 as it was more than the 0.6ml) so I’m glad I didn’t step up to a 10 pen yet. Can you possibly leave it another week to decide?

I haven't ever gone higher than 7.5mg, been 30 weeks on the 7.5mg dose now. I order around week 3 on a pen, so that I can decide whether to stay at the same dose or move up. My side effects settled after the first pen of 7.5mg and my weight loss has been consistent, so I have never decided to move up to 10mg.

Thank you jeanclaude and SilenceInside,
ideally I would wait to see if things settle a bit but I can’t this month as I will be away from home and miss the delivery.

I felt better today, the nausea and diarrhoea have settled down but I feel very tired and cold.

Im going to stick at 7.5 for another month.

Stick at 7.5 and just take less of it. Try 6.25

I agree. If you struggle so much with side effects, it is better to decrese the dose a tiny bit.

@fatgirlswims
thank you for taking the time to reply to me.

I think that taking slightly less from a 7.5 pen is a good idea and I would like to try this. I know that you give the pen less twists but don’t know more than that. Can you explain this to me ?

A full dose is 60 clicks. So 50 would be 6.25mg.

@FortyElephants

perfect - thank you 👍
