Disability- restarting after a break

[Sidelined101]

Hi. I stopped mj a few months ago after reaching my target weight. I gave disabilities which makes it very hard for me to stay active and after a period of high stress I’ve had a mental and physical health crash. I’m now slowly gaining weight and food noise has returned.
i want to restart mj but I don’t understand all the new info?
can I restart with my previous provider? At a maintenance dose?
will I have to do phone or video call?

even though I’m smaller I’m still overweight with a bmi of around 25. I don’t know how to proceed.

thank you

Some pharmacies are more maintenance / break friendly than others.

First step I think would be to speak to your own prescriber, who will have your prescribing history, with details of the reasons behind your break to see if they will support you restarting.

If not the monj.co.uk website has sections on maintenance and restarting after a break that are worth reading and you can take evidence of initial eligibility, previous prescriptions and recent medical issues to them and ask if they would consider you.

Amazing thank you 🙏
