Hi
This is my 4th week in Moanjaro at 2.5mg, I found the first week was brilliant, suppression and no food noise, as the weeks have gone on I’ve found that suppression is not as strong and only lasting 2 or 3 days. I’ve ordered my 5mg pen, I’m worried about jumping straight in at 5mg and was thinking of building up. I’ve seen threads where people do so many clicks then build up that way, not sure whether to do this or jump straight in at 5mg, I know if it makes me poorly I won’t take it again and it’s a shame because it’s helping me massively, and advice appreciated

I have done 12 weeks on the 2.5 pen and worked great no side effects and have lost 2stone. But the last couple of weeks the suppression wasnt working as much and finding it harder. just started my first week last night on the 5mg and I dont feel that great today the suppression is high and feel very bloated and tired I will see how I feel in a couple of days. If still not great I will do 3.75mg on my next shot I think your supplier can talk you through on how many clicks.

Suppliers are not going to suggest counting clicks as that isn’t the intended use of the pen, nor the recommended dosing schedule. As regulated pharmacies they can’t be advising things that go against the intended use of the medication.

@LucyMil you’ve probably made your decision and done your next injection by now, but I would say that it’s worth persevering with mild side effects as they are usually short lived and manageable.
