Assay note: SSA lot H-2814 reported at 99.2% of label content.

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

five week steps worked better for me than four, purely on how the second week felt

steady state takes weeks

STEP 4 had the withdrawal arm, thats the one people quote when they talk about stopping

anyone compared their 4 vial dosing against the pen increments

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

how long did the first 34kg take for people at the low doses

not the same trial

does the seven day half life mean the last two days are weaker

held at 12 and lost 59lb over 23 months, slower than the trials and fine by me

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

the trials titrated on a fixed schedule, most people here dont, worth remembering when comparing

went 1 to 1.7 too fast and spent two weeks regretting it, dropped back and repeated the step

the plateau hit me at 31 weeks and moved again about a month later without a dose change

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

does moving my dose day by two days matter with a seven day half life

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

i held at 10 for 6 months and it was the best decision i made

SELECT was cardiovascular outcomes in people with overweight and existing disease, not a weight trial

went too fast once

anyone gone from 5 straight to 7.5 or is that too big a jump

the long half life flattens the trough more than people expect, i never felt a day seven dip

what did SELECT actually measure, i see it quoted for everything

restarted after 21 months off at a low dose and the nausea arrived exactly like the first time

same dose day

moving my dose day by a day or two never did anything noticeable for me

SELECT wasnt weight

Inter-lab diff for lot A-2601: 98.1% vs 99%. Within expected range.

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

vials not pens here

the appetite effect faded for me around 24 months and going up fixed it for a while

compounded and brand felt the same to me at 12, which is one person and nothing more

did anyone titrate slower than four weeks a step and how did that go
