3.75mg is this right?

[Fatmumslim01]

I'm about to do my first 3.75mg of MJ from a 5mg pen. Have been on 2.5 for 5 weeks (4 weeks from pen plus bonus dose) with no real side effects apart from weight loss of 10 pounds. I'm too nervous to go straight to 5 so for 3.75 is it 45 clicks of a 5mg pen?

If I wanted to do the extra a few days later to up it to 5mg would it be 15 clicks?

My advice is to take it as its prescribed to you and don't dick about with clicks and whatever.

Yes, it is 45 clicks of a 5mg pen to deliver 3.75mg.

Are you ready to move on from 2.5mg? Some pharmacies try to rush you up from 2.5mg, but if it is working for you you can stay on it.

I would not inject more than once a week, or play about with different doses more than once a week as it will become difficult to understand what the concentration in your body has been through the week and what would be a comparable weekly dose to change to. Adding 1.25mg mid week would not be the same as having 5mg in one shot as some of the 3.75mg will have already reduced.

The more you play around with doses the more complicated it gets. Stick to the 7 day schedule and the min 4 weeks rule for any full pen dose and remember each increase of dose takes 4 weeks to build up fully before you can see if it is effective for you.

It is frustratingly slow, but you need to be patient when increasing doses to avoid unpleasant side effects and to also see what is the best dose for you.

Either do one 3.75mg as a step up to 5mg then stay on 5mg for at least 4 weeks. Or try 3.75mg for longer and let it build for min of 4 weeks and see how you get on, but when you do increase to the full 5mg stay on it for the min of 4 weeks.

Why have you decided on 3.75 particularly?
But anyway..
30 is half the dose 2.5
45 is three quarters of the dose 3.75
60 is full dose.
But a few clicks either way is not important really.

Because I was too nervous to make the jump to 5 so it thought 3.75 was half way house between 2.5 and 5

Yes, 45 clicks of a 5mg pen contains 3.75mg.

If you decide to do this dose then I suggest staying on a weekly dose of 3.75mg for a minimum of four weeks (as that's how long it takes for the levels in your body to stabilise week on week) before you increase to 5mg.

If you've had no real side effects why are you scared to increase the dose?

Because I was worried that ive been lucky so far with side effects and didn't want to chance it again.

I did 3.75 last night, so far so good!

I'm upto 10mg still no side effects, seriously in the early days I wasted time taking part doses worried about side effects, it meant I was still very hungry with no suppression until 5mg so I wasted a dose, same from 5 to 7.5mg. After that I just used each pen as prescribed when moving up no issues at all. I don't think it's the medication that causes side effects but what people eat/drink.
