Highlights from this day

VialBot — Verification log updated: QYB — evidence added, status unchanged. 13:28
deadspace — my PeptideMeter report on the FGP vial came back 99.4 against a certificate saying 96.8 14:49
apob_over_ldl — quick one changed my mind on the four week rule, i think it depends entirely on how the current dose feels 14:54

apob_over_ldl 12:38

did anyone titrate slower than four weeks a step and how did that go

apob_over_ldl 12:44

did anybody find a difference between SWB and pharmacy at the same 2.4

same dose day

quick one 8 months at 2.4 and the honest summary is diminishing returns after the first half

steady state takes weeks

the trials titrated on a fixed schedule, most people here dont, worth remembering when comparing

steady state is the bit people skip, judging a new dose after eight days tells you almost nothing
held at 15 and lost 46lb over 15 months, slower than the trials and fine by me

whats the actual licensed ceiling, i keep seeing different numbers
my 10 vial in 2.5ml gives 10mg/ml so 0.5 lands on 40 units, thats why i picked that volume

apob_over_ldl 13:51

brand vs compounded, is there a difference people can actually feel

deadspace 14:03

STEP is several trials, so saying STEP said x is usually wrong without a number after it

apob_over_ldl 14:47

my plateau was the scale stopping while appetite stayed suppressed, which is a different problem

deadspace 14:49

my PeptideMeter report on the FGP vial came back 99.4 against a certificate saying 96.8

STEP 4 had the withdrawal arm, thats the one people quote when they talk about stopping

held there too

quick one changed my mind on the four week rule, i think it depends entirely on how the current dose feels

wk 1-4    0.25mg
wk 5-10   0.50mg   (held 2 extra weeks)
wk 11-14  1.00mg
wk 15-26  1.70mg   (held, long)
wk 27+    2.40mg

quick one i was wrong about the ceiling for a year, i thought 3 existed. it doesnt for the weight indication

thats STEP 1

i stayed on 1.7 for 2 months and never went to 2.4, appetite was already where i needed it, ask me again in a month

back after 26 months off, do i restart at 0.25 or somewhere higher
