I’m thinking of taking my dosage of 6mg a day down to 4mg a day so I can stockpile 2mg each day in case of an emergency. Or maybe every other day to stockpile 1mg each day.
I’m worried though about it negatively affecting me mentally, but I also know that if I do run out and don’t have a stockpile, it’ll be much worse.
Or maybe I could ask my doctor to prescribe me extra so I can stockpile without reducing my dosage?
Anyways, what are your thoughts on doing this? I know Erin Reed recently put out an article which mentioned it being done (which is what inspired me to make this post).
Talk to your doctor. Reducing your hormones and creating instability in your well-being is not worth the small amount you might stockpile by that method, especially in this moment where you need all the help you can get.
Also, if you switch to injections, you can ask for a new vial once a month, since drawing from the vial can compromise the rubber stopper and so for safety reasons it’s justified to get a new vial once a month (a compromised vial isn’t sterile and might cause infection). If you use a smaller gauge needle (like 21G rather than 18G) to draw from the vial, you can reduce risk of coring the vial and this can be a means of safely using the whole vial and stockpiling the extra.
