Nervous about increasing dose

[CoolShoeshine]

I'm nearing the end of my 5mg pen, and in two minds whether or not to increase to 7.5.
On one hand the increased suppression would be very useful (I've only lost 3lbs in the past 3 weeks, mainly derailed by Easter). However i currently have no side effects and have read a couple of reports on here about 7.5mg making people very sick.
Can anyone provide any reassurance (or otherwise) from their personal experience?

No problem at all moving up to 7.5. Every dose I have increased, I get very slowed digestion for the first week with some bloating and this was the same. A total non-event really!

That's good to know @IReallyNeedThisToWork . Actually I have chickened out and reordered 5mg again, just because it seems to have been working ok the last couple of days now thar easter is over and im back into a normal routine. Plus for cost reasons i don't want to increase every time I order. But that gives me confidence to dose upwards next time!

I’ve done roughly 3 months on each dose. I do have a lot to lose (although have lost over 4 stone so far) so this is mostly a decision made so I don’t run out of strengths to move onto. I was fine moving up to 7.5 and just took my 6th dose of it last night. I think it’s natural to be nervous about it but for me I’ve not had any side effects at all so it’s been plain sailing so far.

@CoolShoeshine I found over Christmas and a fortnight of different eating, sweet treats, carbs etc my normal dose didn't seem to be as effective, but once I got back into the swing of normal routine of eating it was fine again in January and I didn't need to increase my dose.

From that experience I think, for me at least, what I eat matters and if I go off track too much the cravings and bad patterns start up again scarily easily.

Hope your 5mg keeps working for you!
