steady state is the bit people skip, judging a new dose after eight days tells you almost nothing
held at 2 and lost 89lb over 5 months, slower than the trials and fine by me

Highlights from this day
- vat_on_import — i stayed on 1.7 for 21 months and never went to 2.4, appetite was already where i needed it 22:54
- rotate_the_site — was SELECT the one that ran to 68 weeks or am i mixing them up 22:55
- rotate_the_site — going slow cost me nothing except time and saved me two bad weeks, thats my whole contribution vial units and pen clicks are different systems, mixing the two is how… 23:06
steady state takes weeks
i was wrong about the ceiling for a year, i thought 3 existed. it doesnt for the weight indication
my dose day drifted from friday to sunday, does that reset anything
is the plateau at 6 weeks normal or am i doing something wrong
licensed ceiling for weight is 2.4 weekly, anything above that is not a licensed dose
held at 15 and lost 37lb over 14 months, slower than the trials and fine by me
plateaus move
seven days ish
follow up dose day is sunday for me only because thats when i remember, not because sunday matters, for what its worth

slower worked better
my PeptideMeter report on the TFC vial came back 96.8 against a certificate saying 97.4

is 2.4 the top or do people go past it
the long half life flattens the trough more than people expect, i never felt a day seven dip
my plateau was the scale stopping while appetite stayed suppressed, which is a different problem, thats just me
does the licensed ceiling for weight differ from the diabetes one

vials not pens here
STEP 1 ran to 68 weeks. thats the one everyone half remembers
thats STEP 1
anyone compared their 2 vial dosing against the pen increments
went too fast once
going slow cost me nothing except time and saved me two bad weeks, thats my whole contribution
vial units and pen clicks are different systems, mixing the two is how people end up wrong

half life is about a week so youre roughly four to five weeks to steady state on any new dose
same dose day
coming back to this $185 a month for compounded against what brand costs locally is why most people here use vials, from memory
update on the earlier thing the trials titrated on a fixed schedule, most people here dont, worth remembering when comparing
how long till steady state, ive read the half life is about a week
vial units and pen clicks are different systems, mixing the two is how people end up wrong
while im here brand vs compounded, is there a difference people can actually feel
[edited]SELECT wasnt weight
my 40 vial in 1ml gives 8mg/ml so 2.4 lands on 10 units, thats why i picked that volume
held there too

went to 2.4 and the extra suppression wasnt worth the GI for me, so i came back down, still working it out
2.4 is the ceiling
the plateau hit me at 15 weeks and moved again about a month later without a dose change
STEP 4 had the withdrawal arm, thats the one people quote when they talk about stopping
SELECT was cardiovascular outcomes in people with overweight and existing disease, not a weight trial
give it four weeks
whats the actual licensed ceiling, i keep seeing different numbers
mine faded too
