Reducing dose from 2.5

[Snorydog]

I’ve lost 3 stone in 6 months on a 2.5 dose and I’m now pretty much where I want to be. I’m losing very slowly now but I don’t want to lose any more, and I don’t want to just stop! Is it better to space out the 2.5 doses so I go 8 days, then 9 days etc or to start reducing clicks but stick to weekly?
I’m a bit nervous to ask the provider in case they say 2.5
is minimum and you shouldn’t mess with the dose! Thank you

The provider is very unlikely to suggest or agree to partial dosing as it’s not how the pens are intended to be used. But as you probably know from threads here, many people do it.

Personally I’d rather a smaller dose every 7 days for a more stable dose level than a 2.5mg dose with longer and longer gaps. That would produce a spiky profile with lower lows and higher highs of medication in your system.

You can use various online tools or apps to plot doses to see what difference it makes to the medication levels in your system.

I’ve just reached maintenance on 3.75mg and have dropped down a couple of weeks ago to 3mg weekly.

My aim is to drop down to 2.5mg next but after that, if all is well, I’ll be dropping to 1.25mg weekly as I am happy having a regular jab day, rather than extending the days.

I prefer to stick to the 7 day schedule so I reduced dose. Currently on 1.67mg from 5mg pen.

I usually reduce by enough to change a 4 week pen into a 5 week pen, or 5 week pen into a 6 week pen etc.

Thanks all, will give it a go with one week intervals
