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

Highlights from this day
- cagri_curious — did anybody find a difference between QYB and pharmacy at the same 15 14:10
- cagri_curious — the appetite effect faded for me around 22 months and going up fixed it for a while 14:13
- cagri_curious — went to 2.4 and the extra suppression wasnt worth the GI for me, so i came back down 14:15
- cagri_curious — FLOW was the kidney outcomes trial and it gets quoted in here for things it didnt measure 14:49
steady state is the bit people skip, judging a new dose after eight days tells you almost nothing, not advice obviously
give it four weeks
going slow cost me nothing except time and saved me two bad weeks, thats my whole contribution
restarted after 10 months off at a low dose and the nausea arrived exactly like the first time

was SELECT the one that ran to 68 weeks or am i mixing them up
changed my mind on the four week rule, i think it depends entirely on how the current dose feels
went too fast once
licensed ceiling for weight is 2.4 weekly, anything above that is not a licensed dose
anyone gone from 15 straight to 5 or is that too big a jump
five week steps worked better for me than four, purely on how the second week felt

anyone compared their 10 vial dosing against the pen increments
unrelated but is there a reason to hold at 1.7 rather than going to 2.4
Recon calculator: 40mg in 2ml = 4mg/ml.
📉7
is the plateau usually appetite coming back or just the scale stopping
whats the actual licensed ceiling, i keep seeing different numbers

same dose day
seven days ish

does anyone actually run a five week step instead of four
SELECT wasnt weight
£38 a month for compounded against what brand costs locally is why most people here use vials
