Highlights from this day
- half_life_hal — did anybody find a difference between HJ and pharmacy at the same 0.5 20:01
- pbs_pip — went 1 to 1.7 too fast and spent two weeks regretting it, dropped back and repeated the step the appetite effect faded for me around 6 months and going up fixed it… 20:33
- pbs_pip — while im here is the plateau usually appetite coming back or just the scale stopping 21:19
plateaus move
i dont think the plateau is a dose problem most of the time, but i cant prove that
steady state takes weeks
same dose day
did anybody find a difference between HJ and pharmacy at the same 0.5
genuine question STEP 1 ran to 68 weeks. thats the one everyone half remembers, anyway
slower worked better
does the licensed ceiling for weight differ from the diabetes one
went 1 to 1.7 too fast and spent two weeks regretting it, dropped back and repeated the step
the appetite effect faded for me around 6 months and going up fixed it for a while
five week steps worked better for me than four, purely on how the second week felt
while im here lost about 13kg on the low doses before i even got to 1, which surprised me, we shall see
while im here is the plateau usually appetite coming back or just the scale stopping
| Trial schedule | What most people here do | |
|---|---|---|
| Step interval | 4 weeks, fixed | 4-12 weeks, on symptoms |
| Holding | protocol deviation | normal and expected |
| Top dose | reached by design | often never reached |
| Coming down | not studied | common at maintenance |
seven days ish
moving my dose day by a day or two never did anything noticeable for me
the long half life flattens the trough more than people expect, i never felt a day seven dip
give it four weeks
ok so i was wrong about the ceiling for a year, i thought 3 existed. it doesnt for the weight indication
