Highlights from this day
- two_four_ceiling — what did SELECT actually measure, i see it quoted for everything going slow cost me nothing except time and saved me two bad weeks, thats my whole contribution 17:42
- two_four_ceiling — my 2 vial in 1ml gives 5mg/ml so 2.5 lands on 15 units, thats why i picked that volume 17:43
- batch_bandit — how long did the first 5kg take for people at the low doses my plateau was the scale stopping while appetite stayed suppressed, which is a different problem 20:20
- seoul_swirl — restarted after 12 months off at a low dose and the nausea arrived exactly like the first time, thats one data point 21:34
held there too
mine faded too
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+ 2.40mgif youre comparing brand to compounded, dose accuracy in the vial is the variable, not the molecule
FLOW was the kidney outcomes trial and it gets quoted in here for things it didnt measure

is the plateau at 26 weeks normal or am i doing something wrong
moving my dose day by a day or two never did anything noticeable for me
steady state takes weeks
seven days ish
does the licensed ceiling for weight differ from the diabetes one
the trials titrated on a fixed schedule, most people here dont, worth remembering when comparing
my dose day drifted from friday to sunday, does that reset anything
unrelated but i held at 10 for 7 months and it was the best decision i made
*PeptideMeter not the other one
how long did the first 5kg take for people at the low doses
my plateau was the scale stopping while appetite stayed suppressed, which is a different problem
give it four weeks
restarted after 12 months off at a low dose and the nausea arrived exactly like the first time, thats one data point
STEP 1 ran to 68 weeks. thats the one everyone half remembers
did anyone hold at 2 longer than four weeks before going up
