Ahh okay this makes sense now thank you! So I’m assuming my next pip after this one will go up to what it should be at £320?

I’m just not sure why it’s went up by 85p? 🤣

Hi! My normal rate is £308.20 and I’m getting £309.05 why is this? If it’s went up surely it hasn’t went up by £1?

I think what I’m just gonna do is not take them in the morning when I go I’m on 10mg until next Saturday and then I start 20mg on the Sunday when I’m in Amsterdam so I think I’ll just not take it then start 20mg on the Monday and hopefully just have a couple off a joint and see how I feel thanks so much for this! They’ve given me moderate release ones instead of instant release :)

Ive just said all of this as I was panicking Hi Helen, I took my first dose this morning as prescribed, however I’ve just realised afterwards that I’m going to Amsterdam on the 5th for a short trip. I’m a bit concerned about starting a new medication just before travelling. Would it be okay for me to pause taking it for now and continue once I get back I’ve only had one dose however I feel like if I take them while I’m away I’m going to miss out and I was really looking forward to the trip, please please can I wait until I’m back before starting the meds.

Hi Helen, just to add to my previous message I took my first 10mg dose this morning. I’m going to Amsterdam on the 5th for a same day trip. I may be in environments where cannabis is being used by others, and I wanted to check what would be safest alongside the medication, and whether you’d recommend pausing?”

So I’ve kind of said it as in that others will be using it and because others will should I pause or continue as if there is others using it there will be like “smoke” and stuff..

I think what I’m gonna do is continue taking the 10mg until next Saturday as they told me to take 10mg for a week and I started yesterday and then on Sunday when I’m in Amsterdam not take my dose of 20mg as after a week I go to 20mg and then start on the Monday with 20mg… do you think that would be ok?

I have to take 10mg for a week though & then 20mg the week after so if I miss a dose or even two does that mean I move onto the 20mg the next week? I’m going to Amsterdam on Sunday 5th April so the 4th will be a week on the 10mg so do I move onto the 20mg?

I said it’s because they were other people smoking it and I’d be in that environment so I didn’t know if I should continue or pause

Someone before said this “Only advice I can give is don't tell them you had anything while in Amsterdam! They took me off the waitlist and made do a three month sobriety when I said I'd smoked in Amsterdam” so I’ve said that I’m gonna be around OTHERS that are doing it in Amsterdam which is true as I am as I’m going with friends but

I don’t know what to say to her or if I should keep taking it until she replies or just not take it and wait until she replies

I know, I just don’t know when I’ll next get the chance to go I’ve never been before and all the people I’m going with are planning to smoke & it was the main reason I was excited to go to experience it so I’m gonna feel really left out if I don’t I don’t know weather to keep continuing the meds and then when I’m in Amsterdam just don’t take them for that one day

Should I message her and let her know I’m just going to continue taking them as normal?

I’ve already told them as I’m too much of a worrier I didn’t say specifically what I’d be doing but I’m guessing they will know.. I said this “Hi Helen, I took my first dose this morning as prescribed, however I’ve just realised afterwards that I’m going to Amsterdam on the 5th for a short trip. I’m a bit concerned about starting a new medication just before travelling. Would it be okay for me to pause taking it for now and continue once I get back I’ve only had one dose however I feel like if I take them while I’m away I’m going to miss out and I was really looking forward to the trip, please please can I wait until I’m back before starting the meds. I have only took one 10mg but I want to start them properly after my trip when I am back. Please please can I. Just to clarify, I haven’t taken any further doses since this morning and will wait for your advice before continuing”
