Highlights from this day
- luerlok — STEP is several trials, so saying STEP said x is usually wrong without a number after it 11:25
- luerlok — five week steps worked better for me than four, purely on how the second week felt 11:47
- a1c_lag — SELECT was cardiovascular outcomes in people with overweight and existing disease, not a weight trial 11:49
- swab_dry_first — dose day is sunday for me only because thats when i remember, not because sunday matters 12:40

| 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 9 months and going up fixed it for a while
is the plateau usually appetite coming back or just the scale stopping
[edited]does the seven day half life mean the last two days are weaker
plateaus move
mine faded too
