Hi all,

I finished my first pen last week (4th dose) and thought I’d try to use the golden dose for this week. I read that the pen will work if using some force and I think I might have used a bit too much force as the whole thing broke!

I binned the pen in frustration and used 30clicks on the 5mg pen. I then ended up ordering some syringes and needles from UK Medi for future uses (if I don’t end up being sent the new model pen!)

I ordered the 5mg pen for my 2nd month but decided to stay on 2.5mg as I’m still losing weight and think I want to see how long I can push the 2.5mg for. If I were to stay on the lower dose, that means I have 8wks worth of jabs in a 5mg pen but they only recommend using a pen for 30days.

Have people used the same pen for 8 weeks and found it ok?

Thank you!

Just had my 3rd jab of the 2.5mg and I'd like to order the next batch as I'm a little nervous seeing all the delays with delivery.

I'm in two minds as to what dose to order. I still get cravings but I manage them a lot better than before - not even sure if it's the jab or determination. I try to walk more, eat better, give into my sweet tooth cravings a lot less and even when I do, I only have small portions (1 ice cream, 1 Lion bar, etc). But the craving is there. I was hoping to stay on 2.5mg for a couple of months and titrate after but now I'm nervous that if I get the 2.5mg for the next month and I still have cravings, it'll have been too late and I'll undo any good work done so far. At the same time I don't want to move up while I'm still losing weight.

Has anyone been in this position before? What did you end up doing?

Thanks all!
