Highlights from this day
- knees_first — half life is about a week so youre roughly four to five weeks to steady state on any new dose 21:53
- impersonator_ip — dose day is sunday for me only because thats when i remember, not because sunday matters 21:56
- noct.titrate — the trials titrated on a fixed schedule, most people here dont, worth remembering when comparing 22:14
- impersonator_ip — STEP 4 had the withdrawal arm, thats the one people quote when they talk about stopping 22:26
went too fast once
vials not pens here
back after 8 months off, do i restart at 0.25 or somewhere higher
whats the actual licensed ceiling, i keep seeing different numbers
vial units and pen clicks are different systems, mixing the two is how people end up wrong
*Medutest not the other one
how did people handle the jump from 1 to 1.7
i held at 15 for 4 months and it was the best decision i made, from memory

slower worked better
held there too
i dont think the plateau is a dose problem most of the time, but i cant prove that
slightly off topic but what did SELECT actually measure, i see it quoted for everything
half life is about a week so youre roughly four to five weeks to steady state on any new dose

not the same trial

i stayed on 1.7 for 6 months and never went to 2.4, appetite was already where i needed it
mine faded too
if youre comparing brand to compounded, dose accuracy in the vial is the variable, not the molecule, still working it out
the trials titrated on a fixed schedule, most people here dont, worth remembering when comparing
wk 1-4 0.25mg
wk 5-10 0.50mg (held 2 extra weeks)
wk 11-14 1.00mg
wk 15-26 1.70mg (held, long)
wk 27+ 2.40mg🤝1❤️8👀1
my dose day drifted from friday to sunday, does that reset anything
*that should say weekly
was STEP 1 the one that ran to 68 weeks or am i mixing them up
❤️1🧪4✅1
the long half life flattens the trough more than people expect, i never felt a day seven dip
update on the earlier thing STEP 1 ran to 68 weeks. thats the one everyone half remembers
i was wrong about the ceiling for a year, i thought 3 existed. it doesnt for the weight indication
STEP 4 had the withdrawal arm, thats the one people quote when they talk about stopping

steady state takes weeks
my VendorInvestigate report on the TFC vial came back 96.8 against a certificate saying 97.4
[edited]restarted after 21 months off at a low dose and the nausea arrived exactly like the first time
changed my mind on the four week rule, i think it depends entirely on how the current dose feels
⚠️1
*week 7 not week 6
moving my dose day by a day or two never did anything noticeable for me, ask me again in a month
while im here anyone gone from 10 straight to 2.4 or is that too big a jump
how long till steady state, ive read the half life is about a week
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 10, which is one person and nothing more
