By day 5.5/6 I am white knuckling it, but I’m having a ton of success

Trying to decide if it’s worth going up, and would love some tips from those more seasoned/knowledgeable than I am. I am self pay so would like to stay on the lowest effective dose for cost reasons, but will titrate up when it’s appropriate.

Tomorrow is shot 12 of 2.5mg, I am down roughly 30 pounds. Diets good, protein is good, water intake is good, but I’m finding by around day 6 I’m really hearing the food noise. Little (big) whispers (scream) telling me to eat all the Easter candy, not just a couple pieces.

Is this a sign it may be time to think about moving up? I already have doses 13-16 in my fridge so won’t for another month, but I need to tell my provider sooner than later if I’d like a new prescription for 5mg.
