sorry to jump in did anyone titrate slower than four weeks a step and how did that go

£120 a month for compounded against what brand costs locally is why most people here use vials, ymmv

if youre comparing brand to compounded, dose accuracy in the vial is the variable, not the molecule

my 10 vial in 5ml gives 10mg/ml so 0.25 lands on 15 units, thats why i picked that volume

2.4 is the ceiling

thats STEP 1

9 months at 2.4 and the honest summary is diminishing returns after the first half

STEP is several trials, so saying STEP said x is usually wrong without a number after it, not advice obviously

for the archive held at 2.5 and lost 14lb over 22 months, slower than the trials and fine by me

is there a reason to hold at 1.7 rather than going to 2.4

ok so compounded and brand felt the same to me at 0.5, which is one person and nothing more, i could be wrong

moving my dose day by a day or two never did anything noticeable for me, i have it written down somewhere

went to 2.4 and the extra suppression wasnt worth the GI for me, so i came back down

lost about 14kg on the low doses before i even got to 1, which surprised me

restarted after 5 months off at a low dose and the nausea arrived exactly like the first time

the long half life flattens the trough more than people expect, i never felt a day seven dip

mine faded too

changed my mind on the four week rule, i think it depends entirely on how the current dose feels

does the licensed ceiling for weight differ from the diabetes one

Inter-lab diff for lot KP-0925: 99% vs 99.4%. Within expected range.

steady state takes weeks

my Janoshik report on the KP vial came back 98.1 against a certificate saying 96.8
€94 a month for compounded against what brand costs locally is why most people here use vials

i was wrong about the ceiling for a year, i thought 3 existed. it doesnt for the weight indication

brand vs compounded, is there a difference people can actually feel
