I’m going into an appointment next week to ask for valerate injections. I’m already on sublingual monotherapy and was wondering how much injectable valerate to ask for instead?

    I’m doing 5mg every 5 days and my trough is at a good (high) level. I know a number of people on 5 mg per week and it’s working fine for them.

    Regarding your question about the needles. I have 25g 1" for IM and 27g 1/2" for SC. They’re fixed point safety syringes, so I draw and inject with the same needle.

        It doesn’t take long at all, like less than 10 seconds. I do inject air into the vial to create some positive pressure. The viscosity of the carrier oil in use will make a difference. The EV I’m using now is sesame oil.
