Taking a 4 week break- ill advised by pharmacist?
Hi everyone,
I’ve been on 2.5mg for about a year but planned to move up to 5mg due to less of an effect.
This coincided with a 4 week break due to travelling. When I spoke to the pharmacist, they said it was fine to just plough on with the 5mg after the break, as guidelines are only to reduce the dose if you’ve had a break of 6+ weeks.
I trusted this answer and have just done my first 5mg injection.
However now I’m massively panicking that I’ve been ill advised! I made the mistake of googling AFTER doing the jab and everything online says contrary to this advice I was given….
Has anyone done this before and been ok? I know I’m probably in for a rough few days. But do I need to be concerned about my safety/more serious concerns?
Please help reassure a very anxious person over here 😭
