Highlights from this day
the appetite effect faded for me around 18 months and going up fixed it for a while

whats the actual licensed ceiling, i keep seeing different numbers
licensed ceiling for weight is 2.4 weekly, anything above that is not a licensed dose
📉2🧊9
how did people handle the jump from 1 to 1.7
vial units and pen clicks are different systems, mixing the two is how people end up wrong, ymmv
if youre comparing brand to compounded, dose accuracy in the vial is the variable, not the molecule
the trials titrated on a fixed schedule, most people here dont, worth remembering when comparing
did the STEP 4 withdrawal arm show what i think it showed
anyone gone from 2 straight to 1.7 or is that too big a jump
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+ 2.40mgmy 20 vial in 2ml gives 10mg/ml so 1.7 lands on 12 units, thats why i picked that volume
went to 2.4 and the extra suppression wasnt worth the GI for me, so i came back down

did anyone hold at 10 longer than four weeks before going up
steady state is the bit people skip, judging a new dose after eight days tells you almost nothing

SELECT wasnt weight
held there too
im 22 months in at 15 and the appetite effect faded, is that a thing
did anybody find a difference between KP and pharmacy at the same 0.25
same dose day
thats STEP 1
follow up going slow cost me nothing except time and saved me two bad weeks, thats my whole contribution, thats just me
2.4 is the ceiling
SELECT was cardiovascular outcomes in people with overweight and existing disease, not a weight trial
was STEP 1 the one that ran to 68 weeks or am i mixing them up
restarted after 8 months off at a low dose and the nausea arrived exactly like the first time
