my dose day drifted from friday to sunday, does that reset anything
held at 1.7 and lost 54lb over 14 months, slower than the trials and fine by me
€55 a month for compounded against what brand costs locally is why most people here use vials

FLOW was the kidney outcomes trial and it gets quoted in here for things it didnt measure
if youre comparing brand to compounded, dose accuracy in the vial is the variable, not the molecule
i stayed on 1.7 for 23 months and never went to 2.4, appetite was already where i needed it
held there too
the appetite effect faded for me around 11 months and going up fixed it for a while, i have it written down somewhere
SELECT wasnt weight
STEP 1 ran to 68 weeks. thats the one everyone half remembers

anyone compared their 5 vial dosing against the pen increments
STEP 4 had the withdrawal arm, thats the one people quote when they talk about stopping
whats the actual licensed ceiling, i keep seeing different numbers

$185 a month for compounded against what brand costs locally is why most people here use vials
26 months at 2.4 and the honest summary is diminishing returns after the first half
how many weeks before you noticed anything at 2.5

my 5 vial in 5ml gives 8mg/ml so 12 lands on 30 units, thats why i picked that volume
five week steps worked better for me than four, purely on how the second week felt, take that with a pinch of salt
thats STEP 1

half life is about a week so youre roughly four to five weeks to steady state on any new dose
does the seven day half life mean the last two days are weaker
