Highlights from this day
brand vs compounded, is there a difference people can actually feel
🧊8
im at 2.5 and stuck, did anyone break a plateau without going up
📈1🧊2
not the same trial
❤️4
is 2.4 the top or do people go past it
went 1 to 1.7 too fast and spent two weeks regretting it, dropped back and repeated the step, thats just me
the trials titrated on a fixed schedule, most people here dont, worth remembering when comparing, thats one data point
same dose day

the long half life flattens the trough more than people expect, i never felt a day seven dip
[edited]back after 16 months off, do i restart at 0.25 or somewhere higher
the plateau hit me at 11 weeks and moved again about a month later without a dose change
is there a reason to hold at 1.7 rather than going to 2.4
did the STEP 4 withdrawal arm show what i think it showed
vials not pens here
slower worked better
mine faded too
went too fast once

was SELECT the one that ran to 68 weeks or am i mixing them up
[edited]held at 10 and lost 9lb over 10 months, slower than the trials and fine by me
went to 2.4 and the extra suppression wasnt worth the GI for me, so i came back down
STEP 1 ran to 68 weeks. thats the one everyone half remembers, for what its worth
how long did the first 26kg take for people at the low doses
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+ 2.40mgSELECT was cardiovascular outcomes in people with overweight and existing disease, not a weight trial, for what its worth
plateaus move
whats the actual licensed ceiling, i keep seeing different numbers
