7.5 feels like water!
It’s the strangest thing. I’m now on 7.5mg, and honestly, it feels like I’m not taking anything at all. I’m only one week in, so I’m not giving up just yet, but I’m definitely surprised. When I started with 2.5mg, I didn’t feel much, but at 5mg I felt the most appetite suppression I’ve ever experienced. Naturally, I assumed that going higher would only make it more effective, but now I’m wondering if I moved up too fast.
In just a couple of days, I’ve eaten more than I have in the past four weeks combined. Could it be the injection site? I’m excited to try a new spot and see if that helps. But here’s the thing - if 7.5mg still isn’t doing it for me by next week, would it be crazy to drop back down to 5mg? I really don’t want to lose the progress I’ve made, and I’d rather not waste another month on a dose that doesn’t seem to work as well.
Maybe I just need to give it more time, but I can’t wrap my head around how a higher dose is doing less than a lower one. I’m confused, but hopeful this evens out soon!
