I started my MJ journey a month ago with the 2.5mg dose. Lost 3kgs. I started tracking meals, did cardio and resistance training.
Had a follow-up with my doc yesterday and he asked to move upto to the 5mg dose. Took my last 2.5mg dose on May 2nd and I asked him if I can change the dosing date to Wednesday instead so that I feel the effects strongly through the weekend. He gave me the go ahead and I took the first 5mg jab yesterday at 9am. But I don't think I'm feeling any of the benefits. There are no side effects either. Thought it would have kicked in 24hrs later.
I'm at a point where I'm confused if I got used to the benefits that it's not so obvious anymore or if it's because I started having better lifestyle changes.
I've even written an email (lillypsp@hcah.in) to Lilly to check if the medicine I have is genuine.
People who've been on this journey, can you please let me know if what I'm going through is normal? Getting a bit concerned here.
I took my 3rd shot of MJ 2.5mg yesterday on my abdomen because I read that it has better absorption compared to other injection sites. But just like the 2nd shot which was also on the abdomen, I barely feel any of benefits or side effects for that matter. I'm not really feeling the satiety anymore either.
When I took my first shot on the thigh, I was clearly able to feel the benefits but I'm guessing that's because it was the first shot.
For the 4th shot, I'm definitely taking it on the thigh again and will report back.
Have any of you experienced the same?
