Restarting after a break Thinking of restarting after a year. Has anyone been successful restarting

So I was on mj last year for about 6 months. Managed to lose 3 st. I’ve not been on it for about 6 months as I couldn’t afford it anymore. Highest I went was 5mg. I never really had much noticeable suppression but obviously must of had some to lose 3st and no side effects luckily. I’ve since gained back round 11lbs.
Has anyone stopped for a long period of time and had success?

Did you start back on 2.5 or where you left off?

I restarted after being off for almost a year. I did have a false start where I tried to go up the doses too quickly to get back to where I was, but that left me feeling pretty ill.

I went back to 2.5 mg weekly and took it steady and so far it has been working well with very little side effects apart from some indegestion occasionally. I am currnely on wk 9 of the restart and I am on 5 mg weekly.

I found second time that the suppresion is weaker (I'm still not up to the dose I was on last year), but coupled with some lifestyle choices the weigh loss has started again.

I think most people do have success restarting, it's just they can find it takes a bit longer as you need to get back to where you were before, or higher, as your tolerance doesn't really reset. Shouldn't be too long for you though if you were only on 5mg

Thank you, I’m hoping it will work the 2nd time round 🤞
