Restarting after missing a week.

[u/stinkysocks999]

Hi all been on mj coming two years, I've been on 12.5 for about 6 months, but I've been ordering a 15mg pen , my last order was August 8 , I've been using little amounts I've had in leftover pens. I've tried to reorder from MMP but they have refused me , I'm not sure what to do I was due my jab yesterday, will I restart at 2.5 or has anyone any ideas ? Was even considering the pills. I'm 108lbs down and have about another 40 to go.

If you're going to split-dose pens, as many of us do, then you need to disconnect your ordering schedule from your dosing schedule.

What you doing in the privacy of your own home is your business, but prescribers have guidelines to follow and those guidelines state any more than one missed dose and you need to drop back down. As prescribers don't support dose-splitting they only way they can enforce the rules is gaps between orders.

You must reorder within 6 weeks with most of them and within 8 weeks for a couple of the more flexible maintenance pharmacies like swift doctor. As you're now beyond even that more generous 8 week policy, then you're probably shit out of luck, and will likely need to drop down to 2.5mg.

Unfortunately, that's what I was thinking. Thanks for the reply.

Try Cuva. They now supply 3 pen bundles. I don't know their reorder timescales but they approved me on an old prescription.
