Highlights from this day
- noct.titrate — update on the earlier thing i was wrong about the ceiling for a year, i thought 3 existed. it doesnt for the weight indication 22:08
- third_shift — dose day is sunday for me only because thats when i remember, not because sunday matters 22:40
- third_shift — going slow cost me nothing except time and saved me two bad weeks, thats my whole contribution 22:43
- evidence_or_not — STEP is several trials, so saying STEP said x is usually wrong without a number after it 22:55
- orfor_watch — lost about 11kg on the low doses before i even got to 1, which surprised me 23:25
follow up steady state is the bit people skip, judging a new dose after eight days tells you almost nothing
genuine question went 1 to 1.7 too fast and spent two weeks regretting it, dropped back and repeated the step
SELECT was cardiovascular outcomes in people with overweight and existing disease, not a weight trial
SELECT wasnt weight
did anybody find a difference between FGP and pharmacy at the same 2.5
five week steps worked better for me than four, purely on how the second week felt
does moving my dose day by two days matter with a seven day half life
follow up £185 a month for compounded against what brand costs locally is why most people here use vials
vials not pens here

if youre comparing brand to compounded, dose accuracy in the vial is the variable, not the molecule
mine faded too
i dont think the plateau is a dose problem most of the time, but i cant prove that
the appetite effect faded for me around 3 months and going up fixed it for a while
sorry to jump in went to 2.4 and the extra suppression wasnt worth the GI for me, so i came back down
the plateau hit me at 11 weeks and moved again about a month later without a dose change
Testing queue: 7 submissions open, 61 awaiting dispatch.

same dose day
anyone compared their 8 vial dosing against the pen increments

the long half life flattens the trough more than people expect, i never felt a day seven dip
💀1✅5👀1
my VendorInvestigate report on the SSA vial came back 99.2 against a certificate saying 98.6
went too fast once
does the seven day half life mean the last two days are weaker
my plateau was the scale stopping while appetite stayed suppressed, which is a different problem, i have it written down somewhere
lost about 11kg on the low doses before i even got to 1, which surprised me

the trials titrated on a fixed schedule, most people here dont, worth remembering when comparing
STEP 4 had the withdrawal arm, thats the one people quote when they talk about stopping
