Highlights from this day
- pioneer_pia — £38 a month for compounded against what brand costs locally is why most people here use vials 17:49
- retention_time — five week steps worked better for me than four, purely on how the second week felt 19:22
- tenpence — STEP 4 had the withdrawal arm, thats the one people quote when they talk about stopping 20:43
slightly off topic but did the STEP 4 withdrawal arm show what i think it showed
not the same trial
while im here compounded and brand felt the same to me at 10, which is one person and nothing more
the appetite effect faded for me around 24 months and going up fixed it for a while
my Janoshik report on the GL Biochem vial came back 99.2 against a certificate saying 98.6
whats the actual licensed ceiling, i keep seeing different numbers
half life is about a week so youre roughly four to five weeks to steady state on any new dose
held at 0.25 and lost 70lb over 24 months, slower than the trials and fine by me
update on the earlier thing half life is about a week so youre roughly four to five weeks to steady state on any new dose
back after 14 months off, do i restart at 0.25 or somewhere higher
is the plateau at 23 weeks normal or am i doing something wrong
the long half life flattens the trough more than people expect, i never felt a day seven dip
was STEP 1 the one that ran to 68 weeks or am i mixing them up
⚠️2
does the licensed ceiling for weight differ from the diabetes one
does the seven day half life mean the last two days are weaker
restarted after 16 months off at a low dose and the nausea arrived exactly like the first time, i have it written down somewhere
dose day is sunday for me only because thats when i remember, not because sunday matters
seven days ish

does anyone actually run a five week step instead of four

Digest for the week of 2024-02-04 has been published.
2.4 is the ceiling
i held at 2 for 8 months and it was the best decision i made
the plateau hit me at 32 weeks and moved again about a month later without a dose change
how long till steady state, ive read the half life is about a week
five week steps worked better for me than four, purely on how the second week felt

while im here FLOW was the kidney outcomes trial and it gets quoted in here for things it didnt measure
brand vs compounded, is there a difference people can actually feel
moving my dose day by a day or two never did anything noticeable for me
dose day is sunday for me only because thats when i remember, not because sunday matters
slower worked better
my plateau was the scale stopping while appetite stayed suppressed, which is a different problem, ill dig out the number
im 11 months in at 0.25 and the appetite effect faded, is that a thing
STEP 1 ran to 68 weeks. thats the one everyone half remembers
STEP is several trials, so saying STEP said x is usually wrong without a number after it
STEP 4 had the withdrawal arm, thats the one people quote when they talk about stopping

anyone gone from 7.5 straight to 1 or is that too big a jump
14 months at 2.4 and the honest summary is diminishing returns after the first half
my 20 vial in 2.5ml gives 5mg/ml so 1 lands on 12 units, thats why i picked that volume
i stayed on 1.7 for 20 months and never went to 2.4, appetite was already where i needed it
five week steps worked better for me than four, purely on how the second week felt
