Highlights from this day
give it four weeks
😂15
is there a reason to hold at 1.7 rather than going to 2.4
2.4 is the ceiling
my plateau was the scale stopping while appetite stayed suppressed, which is a different problem
going slow cost me nothing except time and saved me two bad weeks, thats my whole contribution
mine faded too
🔥15
my 15 vial in 2.5ml gives 8mg/ml so 10 lands on 25 units, thats why i picked that volume
did anybody find a difference between QYB and pharmacy at the same 0.25
i held at 0.25 for 7 months and it was the best decision i made
steady state takes weeks
the long half life flattens the trough more than people expect, i never felt a day seven dip
does the seven day half life mean the last two days are weaker
| 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 |
the appetite effect faded for me around 11 months and going up fixed it for a while
the trials titrated on a fixed schedule, most people here dont, worth remembering when comparing

genuine question held at 15 and lost 42lb over 6 months, slower than the trials and fine by me
what did SELECT actually measure, i see it quoted for everything
went to 2.4 and the extra suppression wasnt worth the GI for me, so i came back down
is 2.4 the top or do people go past it

went too fast once

if youre comparing brand to compounded, dose accuracy in the vial is the variable, not the molecule
*PeptideMeter not the other one
slower worked better
did anyone hold at 15 longer than four weeks before going up
