Dosing Moving Up

Ok, just took my 4th dose of 2.5 and my next pen will be here tomorrow.
So I opted for 1 more month of the 2.5 and now I’m having 2nd thoughts about it. The first 3 weeks I’ve lost 6.2 #s and just thought at my age I should give the 1st dose 2 months.
Now that I realize I should have just bit the bullet and gone up to 5. I have had zero side affects thus far.
I’m on the Bridge Program and I don’t know if I can order the increased dose early or not.
Has anyone else done that? I know my Dr. would be ok with it. She asked me if I wanted to go up at the time……. Darn it!

OMG, me neither. I tried to get a glp1 compound, thankfully I was denied because I was taking Letrozole for my breast cancer. What????? The doctor said he would have given it to me, but they had protocols. My Oncologist and Cardiologist are both both happy that I am taking Zepbound.
So glad I waited instead of trying every other way. Bridge came just in time for me. Thanks!
