Moving up dose after 3 weeks?

Hi all.

I’ve done 3 weeks on MJ on 2.5 first two weeks were really good. No side effects apart from feeling thirsty. Suppression was at a good rate. But on week 3 I’ve felt nothing at all. No side effects and no suppression.

I’ve got 1 dose left in my 2.5, and also the golden dose.

Has anybody gone up to 3.75 after only 3 weeks? Or am I honestly better off having 1 more week on 2.5 and moving up to 5 next week? Advice pleasseeeee

I would do the 4th week at 2.5mg, the amount in your system builds each week, so you are getting a higher amount on the 4th injection than you'll have had before. Then move up to 5mg the following week.

One week of not having suppression isn't unusual nor an issue.

Don’t rush up the doses, you will get weeks when you are more hungry than others.

Don’t do it, most folks struggle as they move to 5 and it builds each week, going early may end your journey for good, it’s only a couple of weeks, just be patient this is a long term drug not some fast chasing suppression thing, if you try to chase suppression you’re going to run into real problems when your journey ends, or as you move up, do it properly and accept this is not a short term fix.

I would carry on with the 4th dose as 2.5mg then syringe out the rest as the 5th week and that will be higher than the others. You may not have any suppression due to tolerance or due to hormonal changes with the menstrual cycle, which I don't think any jab could handle!
