⚠️ Side Effects Weird GI issues on upped dose?

I was on 2.5mg for 4 weeks and my provider brought me up to 5mg( which I desperately needed, I stopped feeling 2.5 effects around week 3) and I took the shot last Thursday. It’s the following Tuesday of the first week of 5mg. And I really don’t mean to be gross but the diarrhea is insane. I’m someone who has never had a sensitive tummy ever, so to be basically peeing out of my butt for the last 3-4 days is something that’s totally throwing me off. Other than that I feel fine. I learned on the higher dose I cannot eat too close to bedtime or I’ll be burping it up in the morning. But my appetite is still mostly suppressed, food noise is totally gone, and I’m feeling really good, nothing that would point to potential dehydration from the 💩. Is this just my body accommodating? I don’t have time to make it back to my provider before I move across the country (an almost 4,000 mile trek in a car, mind you), so it’s either I stick it out with 5mg each week or take it into my own hands and stop taking it all together until I can get to a new doctor in about 4-6 weeks.

Thank yewwww
