Madness to go up a dose 5 days before Christmas?

[Fatmumslim01]

As the title really!

I'm 9 months into MJ, 50 pounds down and doing well

Currently taking 10mg from a 12.5 pen. Have been on 10mg for 10 weeks. Due to inject tomorrow and feeling like I could do with going up to 12.5 as the Christmas treats are proving too tempting and I'm already eating more than I was hoping too.

Would it be mad to increase my dose 5 days before Christmas? Am I best to wait to after Christmas? On one hand I don't want to overeat but also I don't want any side effects if I go up to 12.5?

Did you have side effects when moving from 7.5 to 10? You've been on it a decent amount of time, so the likelihood of significant side effects seems low to me. 5 days till Christmas is enough time for the medication to drop back down to levels you are more accustomed to as well. I don't think it's a mad thing to consider.

Do you want to continue on 12.5 or would you go back to 10mg after Christmas?

I did have some nausea for the first week of 10mg actually but was only on 7.5 for 5 weeks as 7.5 was like injecting water!

I'd want to stay on 12.5 if I go up, still got another 2-3 stone to lose

When I do a fifth dose from the pen, using syringes, I get more than 0.6ml and will do a 0.7 or 0.75ml dose which is 11.67 or 12.5mg from a 10mg pen with no side effects at all. No guarantee that it would be the same for anyone else though of course.

Going from 7.5 to 10 is a 33% increase, going from 10 to 12.5 is a 25% increase, so not as big a step up.

I think it would be unwise if not mad. Why rock the boat for the sake of waiting a week?

Why spoilt your Christmas and possibly others around you? It’s a big risk and a few days of over eating will soon be sorted look at what you have already achieved. I would instead look at this as a time to relax and feel good about yourself.

Well, it's up to you.
I've just done it kind of
This is my seventh dose, I think
And I started on 2.5
Have side effects
Went up to 3.75 so I didn't double the dose in one go
Today just had my first 5 mg

We don't have a big meal until Christmas Eve, so that's Wednesday

Well, I won't eat a big meal but it's the first family event we have that's like a big deal

Alternative was waiting till Boxing Day and our quiet plan has gone. We now have a meal out on Monday as well as New Year's Eve.

I didn't want to wait until second of January, so I've done it

I hope you're okay It seems like you've been on it for awhile so you should be fine shouldn't you?

I'd wait till the new year - I went up a dose a couple of weeks ago, and the side effects were horrendous, could not eat, and the first day after, had to force my dinner down, and then vomited the whole lot up - just enjoy Christmas and maybe do this in January

Thanks all I decided to stick with 10 and will go up to 12.5 on my next dose which is 27th
