follow up my resting rate went up 3 bpm in the first month and came back most of the way by month 22
the heart rate thing is real enough that i mention it whenever someone asks about starting

Highlights from this day
- karl_fischer — follow up my resting rate went up 3 bpm in the first month and came back most of the way by month 22 the heart rate thing is real enough that i mention it whenever… 18:38
- a1c_lag — buying this is a completely different risk conversation from the licensed compounds and that gets said too rarely 19:35
- protein_floor — update on the earlier thing is the GI worse than tirzepatide or about the same 20:28
- a1c_lag — i was wrong to call the heart rate a non issue last year, enough people logged it that i changed my mind 20:31
- cold_chain_cmdr — unrelated but sat at 10 for 9 months rather than climbing and it kept working, so i never went up 21:06
settled by month three
the purity spread across lots worries me more than the molecule does
phase 2 only
💀1
came off at 9 weeks because my resting rate stayed elevated and i didnt like it
no long term data
energy expenditure isnt something i could feel, though my sleep tracker disagreed with me
lost 8kg over 8 months at doses well under what the trials used, happy to be corrected
buying this is a completely different risk conversation from the licensed compounds and that gets said too rarely
smaller steps here
anyone stayed at 2.5 for months rather than climbing
held at 0.5 for 21 months and it never plateaued for me, which i cant explain
nobody should read my log as a plan, im recording what i did and thats all it is, your mileage will differ
low and slow here means smaller steps than i ever used on tirzepatide, thats the received wisdom
no idea whether the heart rate settles for everyone, mine did and one log isnt data
ok so stopped for 8 months and restarted at half my old dose, the ramp was easier second time
update on the earlier thing is the GI worse than tirzepatide or about the same

stepping in 2.5 increments instead of doubling is the only thing i would change if i started again
i was wrong to call the heart rate a non issue last year, enough people logged it that i changed my mind

is there any long term safety data at all or is it phase 2 and hope
i said 8 months ago that my heart rate had settled and it has stayed settled since
follow up blood pressure stayed flat for me while heart rate moved, which i didnt expect
GI was about the same as tirzepatide for me, the difference was how fast it arrived
unrelated but sat at 10 for 9 months rather than climbing and it kept working, so i never went up

how do people square the research use only framing with logging their own use
anyone reconstituting 40 vials to 8 so the steps come out smaller
