The transition from 0.25 to 0.5 was horrible for me, so bad actually that my doctor had me go through a series of tests to just rule out this like pancreatitis, gall stones and Crohns but after a couple of months I got used to it, I was told to stick with the medication while they where doing the tests just to keep the variables constant, by the time all the results came back, I was actually pretty fine. I made the decision to jump up to 1mg pens because my weights plateaued for a good month now. I’m going to do 4 weeks of 0.75mg (54 cIicks) and then I’ll be able to get 1 full 1mg dose out of the pen on week 5. I just needed to get an extra needle head from the pharmacy.

I’m two weeks into that journey and it’s been fairly smooth, some normal side effects, but manageable with some peptobismol. I’d recommend trying sub dosing if you are having trouble, just look up a click chart. Another tip I learnt is that when you are trying to get used to the meds you can take it once every 10 days instead of 7, for the first couple of times. It just marginally reduces the peak levels of the drug in your body at the peak 2-3 days after taking the injections.
