3.75mg
Hey, sorry if this has been answered already but I have 2 weeks left of my 2.5mg pen but I’m so hungry and the suppression has stopped! I’ve stalled this week with no weight loss.
I have a 5mg pen ready to use but as it’s so expensive I don’t want to waste 2 weeks of 2.5mg and I don’t just want to do another dose of 2.5mg.
I am thinking of going up to 3.75mg to use up the pen. I know it’s 1 dose plus 30 clicks (with a new needle) but I’m so apprehensive about it.
Anyone done this? Has anyone had it confirmed this is okay to do?

When is jab day? As I jab on a Friday and find Wednesday ish/thursday/friday I’m usually starving the closer I get to jab day. And is it your first 2.5mg pen? Just with the 2.5mg being a loading dose I don’t know if it’s recommended to skip those last 2 (I’m really not sure you’d maybe have to speak to your provider). I haven’t done 3.75mg from a 2.5mg pen but I did do it from 5mg pen, I was too scared to go from 2.5 to 5 after seeing horror stories on tiktok (I haven’t had any side effects from any dose yet to be honest though). I did one week of 3.75 then went up to 5, I think I lost 3 or 4lbs that week. I’ve stalled on 5mg this week and not sure if it’s my cycle or what 😭 xx
My jab day is today. In approximately an hour 😂😂 so I’ve not jabbed yet as I’m undecided on what to do.
This is my 2nd 2.5mg pen. When I finished my first one I felt like it was still working for me so didn’t feel the need to move up to 5mg but 2 weeks into my 2nd pen I really feel hungry and the food noise is deffo back and I’ve stalled for sure.
I just don’t want to waste 2 weeks of a perfectly good pen. I’ve seen all over tik tok people do it but I just need a little encouragement it’s okay to do I guess!
When you say cycle.. do you mean period? I lost 1lbs on my period week after loosing 2 weeks of 6lbs. I’ve heard that you can either stall or loose next to nothing on your period week.
I’m so unsure on what to do. I’ve had no side effects from the 2.5mg but you do see all the horror stories from moving up to the 5mg! 😂 x
Sorry I’ve just seen your reply!
Did you do the 3.75mg dose?
Yeah my period, I know when I initially started mounjaro I came on in my first week so lost 2lb then the second week it was 5lb so I do think it’s definitely my period messing me around! 😑🤣
Honestly I was so afraid to go up to 5 because of tiktok but I’ve been absolutely fine with it but at the same time I see people saying 5 is like water and that’s how I’m feeling at the minute 😭. I was hoping I could stay on 5 for a while but really feel like I need to go up! X
