Did you start the 5mg?
Posted on 1/9/25 at 8:57 am to GhostofLesticleMiles
You need to start at the 2.5 mg dose or you’re going to probably feel like absolute dog shite. You have to work your way up. I sell this for a living with a compounding pharmacy. It’s all I do every day, so def take my advice. If you need a starter dose, I can help you get that, legally for cheap. You def need it tho.

what is the reason to increase from 2.5 if you're not feeling hungry on 2.5 and still losing weight?
Posted on 1/9/25 at 12:08 pm to Randall Savauge
Unless you’re a type 2 diabetic, there’s no need to increase dose if you’re feeling the effects and losing weight on current dose.

2.5 is a starting dose. I always work to the second dose and that’s where I recommend they stay and can go up from there.

Get it in your system so it’s not a shock to your body at a higher dose. Just bc it doesn’t curb your appetite doesn’t mean it’s not working. I’m on it and I have zero sides and still have my appetite, and I’m down 12 lbs the first month.

I'm not going to start at the 5mg dose. Never planned on it. Will split doses among the pens that I have.

I'm in no rush. All I wanted was a suggested starting dosage from Jose based off his experience from prescribing off label. Yes, I should have explained in a little more detail what I was planning on doing but I did not. What questions do you have?
Posted on 1/10/25 at 8:30 am to lsu777
I'm in no rush. Still working on splitting the doses. When I get that put together I will update.
Posted on 1/10/25 at 8:31 am to jose
Not at all and never had the intention of starting at 5mg. It will be some time before I start.

only way to split the dose, is get a empty sterile vial and use autoinjector to inject it into it, then use slin needle to draw and inject into you

The folks I know doing it started in a very low dose and moved up over time. But they went to prescribers. I looked into it but decided against it after learning you kinda stay in it longer than I knew. I started eating much better and drinking less and dropped 25. Now I’m gonna start having to move more

Yea I'm reading his posts and I think he has the autoinjector pens. There is no way to take half the dose with that since its a click and click method. I was very confused.

A 3mL vial fits right up into the injector just enough to where the med will inject into the vial. I’ve done it before to split my doses.

Got it. I started at 2.5 in September and I'm still on that dose, down almost 40# from 291. And i still find myself forgetting to eat. I "plateaued" in December but that was likely just due to the holidays, starting to go back down now that I'm back into a routine. Didn't see a reason to change if I'm still not feeling hungry ever... It's crazy to think I haven't been hungry since September when before that I was hungry all day!

auto injector will fit over the top of small vial, pen penetrates the vial stopper and injects as it would in your skin and then retracts.
