Smaller dose from larger pen

[usedtobeaylis]

Hello. I'm currently taking 7.5mg from a 10mg pen (Mounjaro) and I think I need to adjust the dose slightly - I've been on 7.5mg for about 12 weeks. I'm reluctant to step up to 10mg as I don't think I'm quite there. Has anyone ever just gone up a little bit eg to 8mg? Most people do seem to go up in the 2.5 increments so just wondering if it would even be worth it.

Yes, I did 8.1, 8.8 and 9.5 when moving between 7.5 to 10 mg. Only one week at each as I almost certainly stayed on the lower does a bit too long. I'm glad I'm on 15 mg now and don't need to think about it in some ways!

Thank you! I've looked into it a bit more and as I've been using a 10mg pen I'll just go up to the 8mg and see what happens.

Why not? I started with a month of 1.25 out of a 2.5 pen. And I'll do the same with 3.75 out of a 5 pen.

It's just about the pen being open for more than 30 days risk. It's a personal assessed risk that I made and was happy to take.
