I stupidly hesitated over moving up to 3.75mg earlier and took my 2.5mg this morning.

Can I give myself the half dose (30clicks) to make it up at all or do I have to wait until next week?

Yes you can

Mysticmaiden · 16/09/2025 21:16

You can if you've had a full pen on 2.5mg already. If not, just do the full pen on 2.5mg to allow your body to get used to it starting off as it builds up

Yes, there's no problem doing this.

Thanks all

So I’m right in thinking I can have the half dose say tomorrow like a top up?

I’ve done 8 weeks on 2.5 and hunger and food noise are starting to creep in. That with less than a lb weight loss I think I need the boost.

You could do it right now. There's no need to wait.

Thank you
I was over thinking as usual

Hi OP,
I don't think you have said if you half dose will be from a 5mg pen or a 2.5 pen (just checking). Half a dose from a 5 pen will take you up to 5mg - and although that is the recommended step up that leap does make many people sick.

From the 2.5mg, I don’t want that massive leap to 5mg.
I’ve avoided all the nasty side effects so far and don’t really want to invite them now!

I don't blame you! I moved up from 2.5 to 5 and I was horrendously ill. I reduced back down and increased gradually. Not everyone suffers though. I know someone who rocketed through increased doses and didn't suffer a single side effect.

The nausea is unreal today.
The smell of a cheese toastie (not mine) made me retch 😂
This too shall pass and all related bollocks.
