Highlights from this day
- sgp_subq — changed my mind on the four week rule, i think it depends entirely on how the current dose feels, i think 09:41
- first_vial_finn — does the seven day half life mean the last two days are weaker 09:50
- vial_ledger — dose day is sunday for me only because thats when i remember, not because sunday matters 10:28
- first_vial_finn — back after 5 months off, do i restart at 0.25 or somewhere higher 10:34
- taper_tess — im 26 months in at 1 and the appetite effect faded, is that a thing 10:57
licensed ceiling for weight is 2.4 weekly, anything above that is not a licensed dose
im at 0.5 and stuck, did anyone break a plateau without going up
does the licensed ceiling for weight differ from the diabetes one
STEP is several trials, so saying STEP said x is usually wrong without a number after it

does the seven day half life mean the last two days are weaker
2.4 is the ceiling
does anyone actually run a five week step instead of four
*week 26 not week 8
dose day is sunday for me only because thats when i remember, not because sunday matters

steady state takes weeks
going slow cost me nothing except time and saved me two bad weeks, thats my whole contribution
back after 5 months off, do i restart at 0.25 or somewhere higher

compounded and brand felt the same to me at 15, which is one person and nothing more
i dont think the plateau is a dose problem most of the time, but i cant prove that
im 26 months in at 1 and the appetite effect faded, is that a thing
🔥3🧊2📈7
mine faded too
is the plateau at 4 weeks normal or am i doing something wrong
*week 29 not week 2
is the plateau usually appetite coming back or just the scale stopping
held there too

same dose day
my 40 vial in 3ml gives 2mg/ml so 5 lands on 20 units, thats why i picked that volume
my dose day drifted from friday to sunday, does that reset anything

half life is about a week so youre roughly four to five weeks to steady state on any new dose, we shall see
genuine question STEP 4 had the withdrawal arm, thats the one people quote when they talk about stopping
did the STEP 4 withdrawal arm show what i think it showed
does moving my dose day by two days matter with a seven day half life
restarted after 23 months off at a low dose and the nausea arrived exactly like the first time
anyone gone from 0.5 straight to 10 or is that too big a jump
the trials titrated on a fixed schedule, most people here dont, worth remembering when comparing
whats the actual licensed ceiling, i keep seeing different numbers
if youre comparing brand to compounded, dose accuracy in the vial is the variable, not the molecule
