First week complete on extending shot interval
I'm within 5lb of my ultimate goal weight and I need to plan for the long-term future. At the end of the year, I'll be changing insurance and Zep or any similar medicine will not be covered. Discussing that with my doctor last month, she suggested spacing out the doses to see how I react. I just finished my first week of 10 day intervals and it was just like a normal week. No extra hunger and weighing in today, I'm at my lowest.
By starting this now but continuing to purchase on a regular interval, I should be able to build up a nice inventory going into next year. Hopefully I'll only need to self-pay about 5 months worth of medicine for 2027.
I'd be interested to hear from other people that spaced out their intervals. How many days did you stretch it and how long have you been doing it? Have people stayed on higher doses at goal weight, but just stretched out the interval (versus going down in dose)?
