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?

What is your experience in amount of time drawing for the smaller needles? I see a lot of posts saying to switch out needles to speed up drawing.

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.
