Hi everyone
Been on MJ for 16 weeks including 8 weeks on 5 mg. Minimal side effects on 5 mg as went up to 5 mg slowly. Occasional nausea and quite tired but food noise creeping back.

I now have a 7.5 mg pen. Is it a good idea to go to 6 mg week 1 and slowky go up to 7.5 mg over 4 weeks...

I’ve been on MJ since May, I was on 5mg 11 weeks ago and have increased the dose really slowly.
After the last 4 weeks on 6.2mg, I increased to 6.5mg today. I only increase when I need to.

Thanks did you go up in 0.5 increments?

Even smaller sometimes, 0.2 or 0.3mgs.

How do you increase the dose incrementally? Is there a guide or calculator you can recommend?
