Took a lower dose of MJ and now I don't know what to do!

A month ago, I decided to move from 7.5mg to 10mg.

I still had a 7.5 in the fridge and a 5 which was due to expire in July so I decided to just take the full 7.5 dose and count clicks on the 5 to get me to a 10mg dose.

I've found the last month to be disappointingly ineffective. I'm hungry all the time and have gained 3lbs.

Last jab day, I miscalculated how much I had left in the 5, I thought I had 2 doses but I only had 1. Rather than faff about, I decided to just stick to 5 this week and see what happens.

Omg. My suppression is through the roof! I'm back to eating healthy, smaller portions, and I've already lost weight this week.

Now, I don't know what to do! My 10 is due to be delivered this weekend. Do I stick to the plan and take the 10 or do I count clicks again and go back down to 5?

Does anyone else have any experience of this? TIA.

I have no experience of this sort of dose chop and change but I would try to stay on a stable dose for 4 weeks now rather than keep changing it. Whether that’s 5mg for another 3 weeks, or 7.5 mg for 4 weeks or back to 10mg for 4 weeks.

Even with taking a 5mg dose for your last jab, you would still have reached the highest peak of medication that you’ve had so far. You could try plotting your doses on a GLP dose plotter online to see how your medication levels have been changing in relation to the doses you’ve done so far.
