Has anyone here stayed on the 2.5 mg dose the entire time and still found it effective?

I’m not saying everyone should study for only one week like I did. This is for those who genuinely have demanding schedules and can’t dedicate months to studying. I just want you to know that it’s still possible.

I took my NCLEX last Saturday and found out I passed on Monday. I have a very demanding job, so I filed for a one-week leave before my exam and made the most of it. By God’s grace, I passed.

Because I’ve been out of school for more than 10 years, I knew relearning every concept would only overwhelm me. Instead, I focused on strengthening my foundation. I listened to Klimek, reviewed prioritization and delegation, and trusted the knowledge I gained during my local nle/school review. Even after a decade, “mnemonics” stayed with me. ( the advantage of having witty mnemonics!)

The night before my exam, I took one practice test using ChatGPT, prayed, and rested. On the morning of the exam, I briefly reviewed prioritization before heading to the testing center. My goal wasn’t to chase a passing result, it was simply to stay calm and do my best. I know myself, and too much pressure would only cause a mental block.

During the exam, I always chose the answer that would make me the safest nurse. If I wasn’t confident, I didn’t overthink. I even had SATA questions where I selected only one answer because it was the only one I believed was correct.

So yes, it’s possible. Not because one week is enough for everyone, but because a strong foundation, the right mindset, good resources, common sense, and trust in God’s timing can make a difference. This was my journey, and I hope it encourages someone who feels like they’re running out of time.

Had my first Mounjaro 2.5 mg injection yesterday. Right after the jab, I actually started craving food more than usual. Last night, I had some flu-like symptoms, and this morning I woke up with a headache and took Tylenol.
What I’m curious about is that I feel like I’m craving food even more. Has anyone else experienced this when starting on 2.5 mg? How long did it take before you noticed any appetite suppression? Thank you.
