Does anyone find they are hungry on the golden dose?

[stillhungrytoo]

I extract the last 0.6 from my Mounjaro but it always seems that it doesn't work as well. What are others finding? Am I taking the right amount - 0.6?

0.6ml is a normal dose from any pen, yes. I haven’t noticed any difference myself.

No difference it’s all the same fluid.

It is possibly/probably in your mind/overthinking it.

I've been using the 5th dose for 19th months, a 6th dose for the last few months (5 days over 30 day in use period). I have never noticed a difference with either.

I keep my pen in the fridge while in use.

I've always used it and never seen a difference, why would there be, it's the same liquid. 0.6 is a full dose.

Aren’t they saying the golden dose is not meant to be injected because it’s not the proper stuff? It’s liquid to make the pen work properly etc

Well they would wouldn’t they.

It could well be !

No, unless you're not measuring properly, I use a pen for weeks on end and the efficacy has always been the same throughout.

Of course it's the "proper stuff", it's the same liquid (medication) that all the other doses came from. It's a glass vial with about 3.3ml of medication in it. 2.4ml is used for 4x0.6ml doses, plus a tiny amount for priming the needle x 4. That leaves somewhere around 0.6 to 0.9ml left in the vial. It's not some other separate liquid.

Prescribers and the manufacturer are never going to say it's ok to use, as it's not using the pen as per the instructions, and there's too much leeway for patients to administer the wrong amount or to make some other error which can't happen when using the pen as directed.

Eli Lilly and providers don’t say that. They say it is not intended to be used, they say it’s risky due to the potential for incorrect dosing.

You need to be careful, know exactly what you are doing with the dose in ml and mg, check twice before injecting you have measured what you intended and be careful with hygiene.

No they don’t say that, and it’s all in rhe same chamber, it’s not seperate, so it’s 100 percent the same stuff, how could it be mingled with rhe rest, make the pen work properly each dose and then be different stuff at the end. That would only be feasible if from another chamber and it’s not. It’s co mingled.

Tbh, I generally extract all that's left for the golden dose, which is often more than 0.6ml, so I definitely don't feel more hungry! I'm only on 5mg though, I think I would be much more cautious if on a higher strength.

Ahh I see, thankyou. That’s good
