Highlights from this day
- cold_chain_cmdr — im at 10 and stuck, did anyone break a plateau without going up 18:41
- noct.titrate — the appetite effect faded for me around 13 months and going up fixed it for a while 19:11
- cold_chain_cmdr — 6 months at 2.4 and the honest summary is diminishing returns after the first half 19:32
- week_three_wall — anyone gone from 1 straight to 12 or is that too big a jump 20:06
- quiet.hours — my plateau was the scale stopping while appetite stayed suppressed, which is a different problem 20:17
how long did the first 38kg take for people at the low doses
im at 10 and stuck, did anyone break a plateau without going up
seven days ish
SELECT wasnt weight
how long till steady state, ive read the half life is about a week
vials not pens here
did the STEP 4 withdrawal arm show what i think it showed
i stayed on 1.7 for 15 months and never went to 2.4, appetite was already where i needed it
the appetite effect faded for me around 13 months and going up fixed it for a while
🧪9
STEP 4 had the withdrawal arm, thats the one people quote when they talk about stopping
not the same trial
restarted after 10 months off at a low dose and the nausea arrived exactly like the first time, i think
while im here half life is about a week so youre roughly four to five weeks to steady state on any new dose
6 months at 2.4 and the honest summary is diminishing returns after the first half
📈4🧊15🙏4
licensed ceiling for weight is 2.4 weekly, anything above that is not a licensed dose
how many weeks before you noticed anything at 10
📉4🙏1👍5
does the licensed ceiling for weight differ from the diabetes one
did anybody find a difference between QSC and pharmacy at the same 10
anyone gone from 1 straight to 12 or is that too big a jump

the long half life flattens the trough more than people expect, i never felt a day seven dip
changed my mind on the four week rule, i think it depends entirely on how the current dose feels
plateaus move
🔥1📉6
five week steps worked better for me than four, purely on how the second week felt
STEP 1 ran to 68 weeks. thats the one everyone half remembers
the trials titrated on a fixed schedule, most people here dont, worth remembering when comparing, n of 1 obviously
