Highlights from this day

egfr_ed — i stayed on 1.7 for 2 months and never went to 2.4, appetite was already where i needed it, thats just me 16:49
dark_for_ten_days — back after 11 months off, do i restart at 0.25 or somewhere higher 17:17
egfr_ed — i dont think the plateau is a dose problem most of the time, but i cant prove that i held at 0.5 for 9 months and it was the best decision i made 17:36

steady state is the bit people skip, judging a new dose after eight days tells you almost nothing

vial units and pen clicks are different systems, mixing the two is how people end up wrong, anyway

my 30 vial in 2.5ml gives 4mg/ml so 2 lands on 50 units, thats why i picked that volume

📈5😂1

changed my mind on the four week rule, i think it depends entirely on how the current dose feels

📉1

*PeptideMeter not the other one

the appetite effect faded for me around 15 months and going up fixed it for a while

back after 11 months off, do i restart at 0.25 or somewhere higher

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

does anyone actually run a five week step instead of four

sorry to jump in i was wrong about the ceiling for a year, i thought 3 existed. it doesnt for the weight indication

quick one im 9 months in at 1 and the appetite effect faded, is that a thing

whats the actual licensed ceiling, i keep seeing different numbers

went to 2.4 and the extra suppression wasnt worth the GI for me, so i came back down

2.4 is the ceiling

i dont think the plateau is a dose problem most of the time, but i cant prove that
