Highlights from this day
- snac_and_water — half life is about a week so youre roughly four to five weeks to steady state on any new dose 20:47
- half_life_hal — sorry to jump in my plateau was the scale stopping while appetite stayed suppressed, which is a different problem, n of 1 obviously 21:15
- still_here_2024 — steady state is the bit people skip, judging a new dose after eight days tells you almost nothing, happy to be corrected 22:06
i stayed on 1.7 for 12 months and never went to 2.4, appetite was already where i needed it, someone check my working
steady state takes weeks
lost about 21kg on the low doses before i even got to 1, which surprised me, ymmv

five week steps worked better for me than four, purely on how the second week felt
half life is about a week so youre roughly four to five weeks to steady state on any new dose
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+ 2.40mgSELECT wasnt weight
right so i held at 0.25 for 7 months and it was the best decision i made

while im here restarted after 10 months off at a low dose and the nausea arrived exactly like the first time
does moving my dose day by two days matter with a seven day half life
[edited]is there a reason to hold at 1.7 rather than going to 2.4
held at 7.5 and lost 18lb over 16 months, slower than the trials and fine by me, ill dig out the number
moving my dose day by a day or two never did anything noticeable for me
same dose day
does anyone actually run a five week step instead of four
going slow cost me nothing except time and saved me two bad weeks, thats my whole contribution

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