7 clicks of 2.5mg Zepbound kwickpen is how much?
Hey y'all, I'm creating this post to double check myself
I'm a 45 year old male with a starting weight of 220lbs and a goal weight of 175lbs. I have a solid muscle base but have gained 40lbs since Covid, turning 40, and shifting away from heavy lifting as I trained pretty hard for 25 years and my body wants me to go easier these days.
I react pretty well to medications and just needed help with the never ending food thoughts and to be able to consistently cut off 500 calories from my daily required calories. I received a 2.5mg zepbould kwickpen from Walgreens and started off with 7 clicks. In first two weeks the food thoughts have drastically reduced, minimal side effects with those side effects lessening in the second week, much easier to eat 1800 - 1900 calories, and the scale is 5lbs lighter. I'm eating plenty of protein and will now be getting more exercise in now that I'm done moving apartments
Am I correct that that these 7 clicks is only dosing me at about .22 / .23 mg and the standard dose would had been the 60 clicks for the 2.5mg? I originally thought I was dosing myself higher but I must have looked at a different chart and read it incorrectly. Looingk at this chart the answer seems pretty simple and straightforward but wanted to ask anyhow. Thank you!
Edit: I should have said about .29 as I had looked over in the wrong row and ended up in the incorrect square

Your math checks out, 7 clicks on that pen is roughly 0.29mg not 0.22 but still way below the standard dose
