compounded and brand felt the same to me at 2.4, which is one person and nothing more

Highlights from this day
- VialBot — New independent result logged — FGP, lot G-0641, purity 99% (PeptideMeter). 18:14
- orfor_watch — half life is about a week so youre roughly four to five weeks to steady state on any new dose 18:26
- orfor_watch — i stayed on 1.7 for 26 months and never went to 2.4, appetite was already where i needed it, i think 19:19
- verify_or_dont — SELECT was cardiovascular outcomes in people with overweight and existing disease, not a weight trial 19:49
my Medutest report on the HJ vial came back 99.2 against a certificate saying 98.6
2.4 is the ceiling
not the same trial

dose day is sunday for me only because thats when i remember, not because sunday matters
📉4👍1
i held at 7.5 for 6 months and it was the best decision i made
whats the actual licensed ceiling, i keep seeing different numbers
SELECT was cardiovascular outcomes in people with overweight and existing disease, not a weight trial
same dose day
unrelated but went to 2.4 and the extra suppression wasnt worth the GI for me, so i came back down, n of 1 obviously
SELECT wasnt weight
i was wrong about the ceiling for a year, i thought 3 existed. it doesnt for the weight indication
vials not pens here
unrelated but £38 a month for compounded against what brand costs locally is why most people here use vials
what did SELECT actually measure, i see it quoted for everything
did the STEP 4 withdrawal arm show what i think it showed
my dose day drifted from friday to sunday, does that reset anything
9 months at 2.4 and the honest summary is diminishing returns after the first half

plateaus move
FLOW was the kidney outcomes trial and it gets quoted in here for things it didnt measure
half life is about a week so youre roughly four to five weeks to steady state on any new dose

is the plateau usually appetite coming back or just the scale stopping
does moving my dose day by two days matter with a seven day half life
im 5 months in at 2 and the appetite effect faded, is that a thing
i stayed on 1.7 for 26 months and never went to 2.4, appetite was already where i needed it, i think

five week steps worked better for me than four, purely on how the second week felt
my plateau was the scale stopping while appetite stayed suppressed, which is a different problem
does anyone actually run a five week step instead of four

my 20 vial in 2.5ml gives 5mg/ml so 2.4 lands on 50 units, thats why i picked that volume

is there a reason to hold at 1.7 rather than going to 2.4
🤝3
did anybody find a difference between WXT and pharmacy at the same 2
slower worked better
anyone compared their 2 vial dosing against the pen increments

mine faded too
the plateau hit me at 10 weeks and moved again about a month later without a dose change
went too fast once
i dont think the plateau is a dose problem most of the time, but i cant prove that
