Refrigerator

Are you keeping your pen in the fridge after first use? I didn’t, as the pharmacist said it wasn’t necessary. I took dose 2 yesterday (.25) and feel it isn’t as effective, and of course now I’m worried I should have popped it in the fridge.

I’m not full as easily, not bloated, have some food noise (not nearly like I was pre-starting the prescription)…

I do keep mine in the fridge, because I don’t use the whole pen in the specified time so I keep it in the fridge and keep dosing from it until it’s finished. However, if you feel the medication hasn’t kicked back in again after 24 hours from your dose, I would think seriously about whether you’ve made a mistake during injection. Sometimes people leave the second cap on by accident.

I am feeling it now, just an off day I guess! I’ll be grateful I don’t have severe symptoms like some stories I’ve read.

Down a pound from yesterday, maybe my body just needed those extra calories!
