Highlights from this day
- protein_floor — vial units and pen clicks are different systems, mixing the two is how people end up wrong 15:39
- typosquat_tay — my VendorInvestigate report on the SSA vial came back 98.6 against a certificate saying 96.8 17:26
- protein_floor — STEP 1 ran to 68 weeks. thats the one everyone half remembers 17:51
- noct.titrate — changed my mind on the four week rule, i think it depends entirely on how the current dose feels 18:39
went 1 to 1.7 too fast and spent two weeks regretting it, dropped back and repeated the step, your mileage will differ
if youre comparing brand to compounded, dose accuracy in the vial is the variable, not the molecule, n of 1 obviously
follow up does the seven day half life mean the last two days are weaker
restarted after 18 months off at a low dose and the nausea arrived exactly like the first time
vial units and pen clicks are different systems, mixing the two is how people end up wrong

$240 a month for compounded against what brand costs locally is why most people here use vials
update on the earlier thing brand vs compounded, is there a difference people can actually feel
did anyone titrate slower than four weeks a step and how did that go
seven days ish
✅15🙏16
i stayed on 1.7 for 4 months and never went to 2.4, appetite was already where i needed it
did anyone hold at 15 longer than four weeks before going up
was FLOW the one that ran to 68 weeks or am i mixing them up
✅3🧊4
is the plateau usually appetite coming back or just the scale stopping
my 5 vial in 0.5ml gives 8mg/ml so 15 lands on 10 units, thats why i picked that volume
is 2.4 the top or do people go past it
plateaus move
compounded and brand felt the same to me at 7.5, which is one person and nothing more
give it four weeks
2.4 is the ceiling
🎉5
im 11 months in at 0.5 and the appetite effect faded, is that a thing
SELECT was cardiovascular outcomes in people with overweight and existing disease, not a weight trial
held at 5 and lost 33lb over 3 months, slower than the trials and fine by me
FLOW was the kidney outcomes trial and it gets quoted in here for things it didnt measure
vials not pens here
my VendorInvestigate report on the SSA vial came back 98.6 against a certificate saying 96.8
going slow cost me nothing except time and saved me two bad weeks, thats my whole contribution
how long did the first 48kg take for people at the low doses
my dose day drifted from friday to sunday, does that reset anything
STEP 1 ran to 68 weeks. thats the one everyone half remembers

how did people handle the jump from 1 to 1.7
does the licensed ceiling for weight differ from the diabetes one
i was wrong about the ceiling for a year, i thought 3 existed. it doesnt for the weight indication
changed my mind on the four week rule, i think it depends entirely on how the current dose feels

moving my dose day by a day or two never did anything noticeable for me
anyone gone from 5 straight to 1 or is that too big a jump
half life is about a week so youre roughly four to five weeks to steady state on any new dose, take that with a pinch of salt
*that should say weekly
steady state is the bit people skip, judging a new dose after eight days tells you almost nothing
same dose day

slower worked better
Digest for the week of 2024-01-23 has been published.
anyone compared their 2.5 vial dosing against the pen increments
[edited]STEP is several trials, so saying STEP said x is usually wrong without a number after it, still working it out
went to 2.4 and the extra suppression wasnt worth the GI for me, so i came back down
