went to 2.4 and the extra suppression wasnt worth the GI for me, so i came back down, still working it out
my 15 vial in 2.5ml gives 4mg/ml so 0.25 lands on 20 units, thats why i picked that volume

- gradient_greg — while im here €185 a month for compounded against what brand costs locally is why most people here use vials, we shall see 17:53
- food_noise_off — follow up is 2.4 the top or do people go past it i was wrong about the ceiling for a year, i thought 3 existed. it doesnt for the weight indication 17:54
- gradient_greg — the long half life flattens the trough more than people expect, i never felt a day seven dip 19:48
give it four weeks
STEP is several trials, so saying STEP said x is usually wrong without a number after it
SELECT wasnt weight
for the archive the appetite effect faded for me around 21 months and going up fixed it for a while, thats one data point
while im here €185 a month for compounded against what brand costs locally is why most people here use vials, we shall see

how long till steady state, ive read the half life is about a week
i held at 12 for 8 months and it was the best decision i made, ill dig out the number
[edited]2.4 is the ceiling
19 months at 2.4 and the honest summary is diminishing returns after the first half, happy to be corrected
held there too
same dose day
while im here licensed ceiling for weight is 2.4 weekly, anything above that is not a licensed dose
went 1 to 1.7 too fast and spent two weeks regretting it, dropped back and repeated the step
is the plateau usually appetite coming back or just the scale stopping
anyone compared their 2.5 vial dosing against the pen increments
five week steps worked better for me than four, purely on how the second week felt
compounded and brand felt the same to me at 0.25, which is one person and nothing more
thats STEP 1
the long half life flattens the trough more than people expect, i never felt a day seven dip
going slow cost me nothing except time and saved me two bad weeks, thats my whole contribution
anyone gone from 0.25 straight to 2.4 or is that too big a jump
restarted after 18 months off at a low dose and the nausea arrived exactly like the first time
moving my dose day by a day or two never did anything noticeable for me, happy to be corrected
how long did the first 44kg take for people at the low doses
