is .4ml (at 10mg/mL, so 4mg) of EV a lot to take? that is what my doctor (who is, notably, not an endocrinologist) prescribed when i switched to injections. she googled it.
i mostly ask because since switching to injections last weekend, i've felt quite floaty and calm, and this is not an effect i was expecting from switching to injections?
i mean, really, i'm not complaining? but like...
@ariadne generally it's on the upper end (assuming it's 20mg/mL so 8mg) but likely fine, less than 4mg per 5-7 days is the low end
@ariadne@social.treehouse.systems That's twice what I take at 20mg/ml concentration.
@ariadne at 10mg/mL -- 4mg of injections per week -- that is if anything a decently low dosage. not out of the realm of normal practice, but on the low end
@ariadne it depends on concentration and injection frequency. have u seen https://pghrt.diy ?
@jacqueline yes, i've read it before switching to injections, but was mostly wondering about real anecdotes
@ariadne That sounds normal for 20mg/mL, but a bit much for 40mg/mL
@ariadne Depends on the concentration. I do 0.2ml of 20mg/ml
@JessTheUnstill this is 10mg/mL so .4 should be 4mg? which is roughly what i was taking on sublingual
@ariadne @JessTheUnstill hmmm... I'm trying to set up care again so I'm on my last dosage still which is .14 mL at 20 mg/mL, so only 2.8 mg of valerate.
Interesting that you're both at 4 and I'm a bit less. Are you both doing weekly or biweekly?

@ariadne you might pay extra attention to the end of cycle feels/energy/etc and see about a shorter cycle than weekly. EV has a short enough halflife that 3-5 days works better for many people
