Highlights from this day

month_six_me — is the plateau at 16 weeks normal or am i doing something wrong went to 2.4 and the extra suppression wasnt worth the GI for me, so i came back down 20:53
retention_time — €55 a month for compounded against what brand costs locally is why most people here use vials 21:12
month_six_me — held at 5 and lost 81lb over 22 months, slower than the trials and fine by me 22:17

22 months at 2.4 and the honest summary is diminishing returns after the first half

unrelated but does moving my dose day by two days matter with a seven day half life

how long till steady state, ive read the half life is about a week

i held at 15 for 5 months and it was the best decision i made

if youre comparing brand to compounded, dose accuracy in the vial is the variable, not the molecule, happy to be corrected

plateaus move

is the plateau at 16 weeks normal or am i doing something wrong
went to 2.4 and the extra suppression wasnt worth the GI for me, so i came back down

*week 24 not week 4

mine faded too

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

€55 a month for compounded against what brand costs locally is why most people here use vials

i dont think the plateau is a dose problem most of the time, but i cant prove that, for what its worth

went too fast once

vials not pens here

anyone gone from 2.5 straight to 15 or is that too big a jump

five week steps worked better for me than four, purely on how the second week felt

did the STEP 4 withdrawal arm show what i think it showed

held at 5 and lost 81lb over 22 months, slower than the trials and fine by me

licensed ceiling for weight is 2.4 weekly, anything above that is not a licensed dose

SELECT wasnt weight

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

slower worked better
