MJ - week 3 on 5mg

[Sloelydoesit]

Hi everyone

I was really hoping that I could stay on 5mg for a few months but it's week 3, jabbed Monday night and today it's like I'm back to before I even started on 2.5

I need to think about new pen. Am I going to have to go to 7.5? Has anyone else had a bit of a blip on 5mg bit continued to take it and it got better?
I have got quite a bit to lose so was hoping not to race up the doses

Don't worry about going up a dose. The medication doesn't stop working when you get to 15mg - it doesn't wear off. It becomes harder to lose weight as your weight drops, and if you're relying on being too stuffed or nauseated to eat then you'll be disappointed as that feeling does wear off to an extent but the drug does work long term if you have commitment to focusing on what you eat. If you're finding the impact is less at the moment just go up. It's a false economy to stay on a lower dose longer if you aren't benefiting from it.
