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

seven days ish

the appetite effect faded for me around 3 months and going up fixed it for a while

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

not the same trial

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

does the licensed ceiling for weight differ from the diabetes one

vials not pens here

is the plateau at 34 weeks normal or am i doing something wrong

if youre comparing brand to compounded, dose accuracy in the vial is the variable, not the molecule

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

held at 0.25 and lost 39lb over 9 months, slower than the trials and fine by me

restarted after 8 months off at a low dose and the nausea arrived exactly like the first time, i could be wrong

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

i held at 0.25 for 9 months and it was the best decision i made

slower worked better

my Medutest report on the QYB vial came back 99.2 against a certificate saying 98.6

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

steady state takes weeks

STEP is several trials, so saying STEP said x is usually wrong without a number after it

2.4 is the ceiling

my 20 vial in 5ml gives 10mg/ml so 7.5 lands on 30 units, thats why i picked that volume

thats STEP 1

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

licensed ceiling for weight is 2.4 weekly, anything above that is not a licensed dose

same dose day

im 4 months in at 0.25 and the appetite effect faded, is that a thing

£120 a month for compounded against what brand costs locally is why most people here use vials

held there too

my dose day drifted from friday to sunday, does that reset anything

was STEP 4 the one that ran to 68 weeks or am i mixing them up

give it four weeks

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

genuine question STEP 1 ran to 68 weeks. thats the one everyone half remembers

half life is about a week so youre roughly four to five weeks to steady state on any new dose

*week 31 not week 6

how long did the first 9kg take for people at the low doses

SELECT wasnt weight
