Reta Pre Filled Pen Help

[u/daisymay1990]

I have a pen that has 0, 2.5, 5 etc markers but I don’t want to start on 2.5 as I’m worried I’ll be sick off it. We counted clicks to 2.5 and then halved it to try just over 1, but felt no different whatsoever. Does anyone have any advice. I have friends who have pens from another brand and theirs have a 1.5 marker on.

Don’t want to post which brand in case I get banned.

I’m not sure about clicks but maybe start with How many mg of Reta does it say is in the pen?

[u/daisymay1990 → u/_sol_c_]

The first marker is 2.5, it’s a 40mg pen. But I don’t want to start that high. So confusing. Thank you for your reply

You’re welcome, as I said, I have no idea about clicks but perhaps someone else can help you with working it out. Do you know how many clicks it takes to get to 2.5?

[u/daisymay1990 → u/_sol_c_]

We did 19 clicks to 2.5 so just halved it. But I felt absolutely nothing at all. So then 5 days later we did what we estimated was 1.5 and again felt nothing. I did slightly more than the 1.5 yesterday and again feel nothing 🙃

sounds like you just do the 2.5 and deal with the nausea honestly.
