Moving up to 5mg, unsure

[SylviaPsyoplath]

Hello,
I've been on 2.5mg for 4 weeks - ish (had a week break due to problem with pen/me being an idiot).
Week 5 tomorrow.
I've lost 6lb and whilst I have made better choices and have some suppression I've still just mindlessly eaten 3 ring donuts.
So I've ordered my next pen for 5mg

Whilst I'm happy I've made changes, obviously I've not made enough and I'm disappointed with my loss so far (sw 12st 4lb), is going up to 5mg now sensible or a knee jerk reaction?

Advice, experiences, options very much wanted please 🙏

I personally would look at the 3 doughnuts as a hint that I was ready to move up to the 5mg dose, as per the scheduled guidelines.

Not that I agree that it's necessary to move up every 4 weeks as used to be suggested, and I'm not against moving up more incrementally either to minimise risk of side effects.

Have you had a look at the thread for your starting month? I imagine there are many on there also discussing and contemplating their next dose.

I moved up through the doses month by month,
only really felt proper suppression from 7.5 truth told,
I’ve been on 10mg for 2 months now though purely due to cost , will move up to 12.5 soon as feel like it’s not doing much anymore . I’ve also considered jabbing more often , maybe every 5 days , using my ‘ bonus dose ‘ throughout the month as it were . Might start that this week …
