Had my first dose of 0.6mls last night and I've felt really sick all day. Managed to eat 800 cals but it's been a struggle and it's all been beige food.

I'm reluctant to inject 0.6 again. Can I do 0.3 for a couple of days until I'm more used to it? I obviously know I can, but has anyone else done this and has it worked?

My pen only has the actual dose numbers on it the rest are clicks with no numbers so not sure how I'll work it out.

Any advice welcome!

Meh, I've just guesstimated a 0.3mg dose. We'll see what tomorrow brings

Yeah you can take doses in between or ‘clicks’. I had to do this a lot as going up beyond a certain point would make me feel rough.

@GhostBridezilla thanks, perhaps I should have persevered a bit longer but I've just felt completely off food all day and don't fancy feeling the same way tomorrow.

I'll reassess the situation with the aim to slowly increase.

If I can stay at 0.6 forever that would be excellent! Save me some pennies.

I can't believe it but I had the 0.3 and I still feel a bit 'blergh' today!
It's 13:30 and I haven't eaten anything and don't feel hungry.

@YoshiEgg Oh no! I've bought 5 pens so I'm not giving up!
The nausea isn't terrible but I'd prefer to not have it!

hey, just saw your post and wondering how you got on? I’m going to start tomorrow but only want to start on 0.3mg…
