Is anyone else counting clicks to get a non-standard dose?

I'm currently on 5mg Mounjaro. I've been doing 45 clicks to give myself a dose of 3.75mg because I find that the nausea from 5mg is too much for me to cope with. I am wondering if it is ok to do this even though it's not in the official guidelines for dosing.

Many people do it. If search for "click" for example you will see LOTS of posts.

I've been doing 3.75mg for 14 months. Mainly because back when I started my provider implied I had to move up and I was a bit nervous so did a mid step, then realised I didn't need to so stayed where I was as it was working for me.

The main risk/issues I have seen from click counting usually comes around not taking enough care when doing it and mis-calculating/dosing - there have been a few posts with those type of issues, usually saying "I was in a hurry and........"

Click counting and using the pen well beyond the in-use period (some who click count do) is another, and more divisive for obvious reasons, topic .

Yep, I’ve been doing it from day one. I started on 2.5mg because I was worried about SEs, then moved up to 3.75mg. I’m now doing 3.75mg plus an extra 1.25 a few days later if the effects wear off. I took a break for 10 days because I’ve been away, so today I took 2.5mg and may do another 2.5 in a few days, depending what effects I get. When I get stronger dose pens I plan on half dosing and so the pen lasts two months. I know it’s a risky and controversial thing to do but I’m prepared to chance it.
