Missing a week because of side effects

[hoppy01]

I would be grateful to hear from anyone who has missed a weekly injection because of side effects rather than because of being away. I have REALLY struggled the last week to eat anything and I've been really tired too. I am thinking it might be a good idea to miss a week and then go down a dose in order to allow my body to recover.

I wouldn’t miss a week just go down a dose - I’ve got same happening to me this week after going up to 7.5 , I feel dreadful so dropping back on weds

I started 15mg 3 weeks ago and really struggled to eat the whole time, im hitting 800-900 cals by forcing food inside me. My provider said I can take it every 10 days instead of 7 to lessen the concentration in body to finish off pen before going down a dose. I've decided to split doses though because jabbing 15mg in one go is too much especially first 1-3 days of it. So I'm doing 10mg on first day then 5mg 3 days later and I've found it so much better and I'm less tired. It does depend what dose you are on too, but contact your provider for advice.

I couldn’t cope with the side effects at 10mg, so I went back to 7.5 and stayed there. I’m thinking of stopping now as I’ve lost 3 stone (was hoping for 4), but I feel better in myself, healthier and I want to stop feeling crap all the time.

Thanks for sharing your stories, it's all really helpful. I've decided to half my dose rather than stop completely. Already feeling better and can eat more normally
