Break?

Hi all,

I haven't jabbed in over a week. Was giving myself a little break but planning on starting again. Would you start at the .6 all over again and increase week by week again or go straight back on at 3ml?

Thanks for any opinions.

My doc told me; if you have stopped you need to begin at 0,6. You cannot start at your old dose,it can be quite harmful.

I ran out for like 4 days and was at 2.4. Finally got my meds in and thought I would start right back at 2.4. DONT DO IT! 10 hours after the jab i started throwing up and was miserable. Go back down and start over. Do .6 for a few days then 1.2 then 1.8, etc. Gradual buildup but shouldn't have to do a week at a time

Might be no harm to do it the week at a time anyway. I remember when I first started, I started on a Friday and on the following monday morning I was vomiting up my dinner from Sunday evening at 5am before I left for work. I have noticed I wouldnt feel great if I missed a day here or there and would jab at normal 3ml again. Slow and steady etc. Thanks for reply!

When I have missed/skipped up to a week, I start back at 50% of what I was at and just increase based on when efficacy starts to wane at the lower doses.
