21 months at 2.4 and the honest summary is diminishing returns after the first half
[edited]| Trial schedule | What most people here do | |
|---|---|---|
| Step interval | 4 weeks, fixed | 4-12 weeks, on symptoms |
| Holding | protocol deviation | normal and expected |
| Top dose | reached by design | often never reached |
| Coming down | not studied | common at maintenance |
my Janoshik report on the BCH vial came back 98.6 against a certificate saying 98.1
went 1 to 1.7 too fast and spent two weeks regretting it, dropped back and repeated the step
my 2 vial in 5ml gives 2.5mg/ml so 1.7 lands on 50 units, thats why i picked that volume
my plateau was the scale stopping while appetite stayed suppressed, which is a different problem
went 1 to 1.7 too fast and spent two weeks regretting it, dropped back and repeated the step
vials not pens here
held at 1 and lost 95lb over 6 months, slower than the trials and fine by me
whats the actual licensed ceiling, i keep seeing different numbers
compounded and brand felt the same to me at 2.5, which is one person and nothing more
back after 20 months off, do i restart at 0.25 or somewhere higher
how long till steady state, ive read the half life is about a week
quick one five week steps worked better for me than four, purely on how the second week felt
sorry to jump in i stayed on 1.7 for 26 months and never went to 2.4, appetite was already where i needed it
thats STEP 1
is the plateau at 18 weeks normal or am i doing something wrong
£72 a month for compounded against what brand costs locally is why most people here use vials
was SURMOUNT-1 the one that ran to 68 weeks or am i mixing them up
STEP 4 had the withdrawal arm, thats the one people quote when they talk about stopping
seven days ish
dose day is sunday for me only because thats when i remember, not because sunday matters
anyone gone from 0.25 straight to 7.5 or is that too big a jump
