Creeping up micro doses after a difficult start on 2.5mg

[Junmaro]

Hi

I started MJ for a week on 2.5mg a couple of weeks ago, but it was too strong for me and side effects were unpleasant. I could have tried to power through, but am too anxious.

I’ve taken a couple of micro doses since and will look to creep dose up over time. There’s currently efficacy though not total suppression. So far so good.

just wondered if anyone has tried a similar approach and how it worked out. What dose did you end up on?

Mainly looking to see if anyone can tell me whether re-emerging side effects came slowly with each small increment, or all of a sudden once you’ve gone through a barrier your body can’t tolerate.

TIA.

What side effects did you have?

Mainly nausea and stomach cramps. Followed all the advice re clean eating, hydration, portion sizes etc.

Crept up doses not due to side effects but because I didn't want full suppression. Started at 2.5mg which was great for me - good reduction in appetite while still allowing me to eat healthy meals, much quieter food noise. Went up to 3mg with the 5th dose, as was planning to move to 5mg the week after - but realised I just didn't want any stronger effects so stuck at 3mg. Went up to 3.5 after a few months and it was too much - went down to 3.25. Got close to 5mg by the end.

Currently trying to creep down doses while on maintenance, not doing too well - suspect I should have stayed where I was.

Can't help with side effects as I really didn't have any, was lucky that way. Maybe it was because I kept the dose low, or maybe not, I'll never know.

I did 6 weeks on 1.25, then went up over a few weeks to 2.5. Stayed there for 6 months. Over the past two months, I've gone up a few clicks each week and now finally hit 5mg. The suppression is great and I feel in love with mj again, and no sign of side effects.
