10mg

[ILoveDrivingYey]

I have been on 7.5mg for 8 weeks and although staying on it for this last 4 weeks seemed like a good idea at the time, the dose isn't really working for me now and I massively binged a couple of days ago for the first time since starting mj. I was just ravenous and ate loads of rubbish :(

This tells me I'm ready to move up doses.

But for some reason, although I was happy to go to 5mg and really happy to go to 7.5mg, I'm really nervous about the move to 10mg! It seems such a high dose to give my body.

I have been v lucky in that my side effects have been minimal. I have been v tired, occasional blood sugar drops at the start (but nothing like that for a couple of months!), and cold. But that's it. No diarrhoea, no nausea etc.. and nothing major really. So I don't know why I'm so nervous about it!

I think I have watched lots of YouTubers who managed to not go higher than 5mg, so tapering off wasn't too hard etc.. part of my worry is that when I want to stop (and I'm not too far from maintenance now), it will be a lot harder coming down from 10mg.

Anyone on 10mg can let me know how it's been?

Was anyone else nervous about the move to 10mg?

Any advice or words of encouragement much appreciated!!

In a similar spot (I have actually slightly increased clicks each time perhaps to avoid a big jump).

But wondering too … 🤔

Well done for getting close to target!

I felt the same as you on 7.5mg and went up to 10mg but my side effects were pretty bad so I did smaller doses until the pen was gone and have gone back to 7.5mg which is working perfectly again! No idea why!

Thanks! That's helpful know it might work again if I go back down :)

I am just starting my 11th week on 10 and it is FABULOUS!! No side effects, good suppression (maybe a bit too much the first couple of weeks!) and steady losses.

Why would coming down from 10mg be any harder? It’ll just take a little longer that’s all.

Been on it for 8 weeks now all fine, no side effects, very high suppression and it doesn't wear off after 5 days, lasted all week long until this week feels like it wore off as had no suppression all week. Contacted my provider Oushk who said to inject every 5 days, I did it this morning after 6 days and suppression has already kicked in again much quicker than usual, could only manage half a restaurant meal for lunch, so I'm having the rest later 😋
Basically I loved it as it was more effective for me than any other doses and it keeps my moods and blood sugars stable, I have insulin resistance so it's a life saver for my symptoms.
Are you drinking enough water and eating enough protein? That keeps me feeling fuller for longer.
