thats STEP 1
vials not pens here
anyone gone from 2 straight to 1 or is that too big a jump
not the same trial
👍16
ok so is 2.4 the top or do people go past it
sorry to jump in changed my mind on the four week rule, i think it depends entirely on how the current dose feels
licensed ceiling for weight is 2.4 weekly, anything above that is not a licensed dose
SELECT wasnt weight
[edited]the trials titrated on a fixed schedule, most people here dont, worth remembering when comparing
was SURMOUNT-OSA the one that ran to 68 weeks or am i mixing them up
is the plateau at 15 weeks normal or am i doing something wrong
does the seven day half life mean the last two days are weaker

does moving my dose day by two days matter with a seven day half life
unrelated but five week steps worked better for me than four, purely on how the second week felt
steady state is the bit people skip, judging a new dose after eight days tells you almost nothing
apob_over_ldlunrelated but five week steps worked better for me than four, purely on how the second…
if youre comparing brand to compounded, dose accuracy in the vial is the variable, not the molecule
[edited]does the licensed ceiling for weight differ from the diabetes one
how long till steady state, ive read the half life is about a week
same dose day
does anyone actually run a five week step instead of four
went to 2.4 and the extra suppression wasnt worth the GI for me, so i came back down
my Medutest report on the JEEP vial came back 99.4 against a certificate saying 98.6

STEP is several trials, so saying STEP said x is usually wrong without a number after it
genuine question the plateau hit me at 26 weeks and moved again about a month later without a dose change
did anyone hold at 2.5 longer than four weeks before going up
steady state takes weeks
held at 1 and lost 72lb over 16 months, slower than the trials and fine by me
lost about 11kg on the low doses before i even got to 1, which surprised me
