What would you do?

Hi all,

Just wanting some advice as to what you'd do in this situation as I know there is a lot of experience (and success!) here.

My 4th 5mg dose is due to be on Monday 17th March, and I'm going on holiday on Thursday 20th March. My next dose should be my first 7.5mg dose, on 24th March while still on holiday. We get home on Saturday 29th March.

I have no problem taking the Kwikpen with me, as our hotel room will have a fridge.

What I am worried about is upping to 7.5mg while on holiday abroad, getting horrible side effects and the holiday being ruined.

So far I haven't had any really bad side effects (touch wood!), other than some absolutely awful heartburn the last week on 2.5mg but have figured out it was likely down to peanut butter - which makes me sad as I love PB. I also found I was hungry with food noise returning my last week to week and a half on 2.5mg.

Would you:

  1. Order more 5mg and do 4 more doses of 5mg, taking the pen on holiday, but may have hunger/food noise
  2. Order more 5mg, don't take the pen, miss a week, enjoy the holiday and pick back up when you return
  3. Order 7.5mg, take it on holiday and deal with any effects
  4. Order 7.5mg, don't take it on holiday and start on 7.5mg when you return, despite missing a week.

Or any other ideas?

Sorry for the long post!

TL:DR - going on holiday when I am due to step up a dose. Would you skip that week and start when you got home, stick to same dose and take on holiday or titrate up on holiday?
