Stopping but three pens left

I'm getting towards my goal and have three 15mg pens left.

I'm finding the dose high and struggling to eat much. Was wondering about using up the remaining pens then coming off.

I could use the pens over 2/3 months each at eg 5mg doses has anyone done this please

You could do smaller doses by counting the clicks?

You’ll be aware of the manufacturer’s guidelines that pens should be disposed of after 30 days once in use. So you’d need to be aware that you’re going over that, what the risks are of that and what your personal decision is on that.

I wouldn't. I would stretch to 6 weeks at a push with last dose on day 35, just 5 days over, no longer, but that's just me.

I wouldn't base any of my decisions on what other more reckless than me people have done and been fortunate to have got away with.

You bought the pens to give you a month (4-6 weeks) of treatment, you will get that out of them whatever dose you take. You don't have to use all the liquid.

Do you have plans if you taper down and need to continue/restart ordering?

I do feel concerned about using it longer than much over 30 days. Even if it means wasting some.

I could either ask my pharmacy if I can get back in touch after a gap or I could check out one of the pharmacies on www.monj.co.uk which will accept people for maintenance up to 12 months after stopping, I suppose.
