5mg stopped working but still have another 5mg pen!

[FoxRedPuppy]

I’ve got 2 more doses of my current 5mg pen. But I bought one I. The big panic so in theory still have 6 weeks of 5mg.

It isn’t working as well/at all. I’m getting so hungry and really having to use willpower to avoid snacking and treats.

I have a stone left to lose, I can’t decide whether I should try the willpower and 5mg or try increasing somehow.

Anyone done this/had this happen?

They last ages if not opened. Order the next one up abd keep the 5 as a back up. You can count clicks and use it in future

Or injection every 5th or 6th day to keep the suppression up?

Fistly @FoxRedPuppy I absolutely love your user name. We have 2

Back to your question: If you can't order another one straight away, are you prepared to use the 5th 'golden dose'. In which case you could increase the dose by counting clicks and/or using a syringe etc to give yourself more than 5mg

This chart will tell you how many clicks/mls will be required:

To do this, you give yourself the full dose as usual, then inject a bit more. if you can do this using the golden dose from both pens, it would mean you could increase to 7.5mg for 4 weeks before you get your next pen.

If you need syringes/swabs/needles I recommend UKMedi

As @bumbaloo said, it might be easier to order a new pen, if you can.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I do have needles so I could extract doses. Yes maybe I just get a 7.5mg and save 5mg one.

It’s made me realise how important it is to keep up with my new habits for when I am at goal. I so wish I could stay on it for life!
