Highlights from this day
- HPLC_Hank — unrelated but 17 months at 2.4 and the honest summary is diminishing returns after the first half 15:05
- rotterdam_recon — the long half life flattens the trough more than people expect, i never felt a day seven dip, still working it out 15:17
- rotterdam_recon — vial units and pen clicks are different systems, mixing the two is how people end up wrong 15:19
- rotterdam_recon — SELECT was cardiovascular outcomes in people with overweight and existing disease, not a weight trial 15:38
- rotterdam_recon — half life is about a week so youre roughly four to five weeks to steady state on any new dose 15:41

went too fast once
not the same trial
unrelated but 17 months at 2.4 and the honest summary is diminishing returns after the first half
went to 2.4 and the extra suppression wasnt worth the GI for me, so i came back down
did anyone titrate slower than four weeks a step and how did that go
held at 1.7 and lost 33lb over 6 months, slower than the trials and fine by me
ok so i held at 15 for 9 months and it was the best decision i made
vials not pens here
