steady state takes weeks
| 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 |
does the licensed ceiling for weight differ from the diabetes one
does moving my dose day by two days matter with a seven day half life
held there too
[edited]the trials titrated on a fixed schedule, most people here dont, worth remembering when comparing, happy to be corrected
went 1 to 1.7 too fast and spent two weeks regretting it, dropped back and repeated the step
slightly off topic but did anyone hold at 12 longer than four weeks before going up
mine faded too
anyone gone from 10 straight to 2.4 or is that too big a jump
what did SELECT actually measure, i see it quoted for everything
plateaus move
i held at 7.5 for 3 months and it was the best decision i made
not the same trial
SELECT wasnt weight
my plateau was the scale stopping while appetite stayed suppressed, which is a different problem
was SELECT the one that ran to 68 weeks or am i mixing them up
went to 2.4 and the extra suppression wasnt worth the GI for me, so i came back down
$72 a month for compounded against what brand costs locally is why most people here use vials
went too fast once
slower worked better
i dont think the plateau is a dose problem most of the time, but i cant prove that
thats STEP 1
vial units and pen clicks are different systems, mixing the two is how people end up wrong, thats just me
is 2.4 the top or do people go past it
the plateau hit me at 5 weeks and moved again about a month later without a dose change
how did people handle the jump from 1 to 1.7
*Janoshik not the other one
dose day is sunday for me only because thats when i remember, not because sunday matters
restarted after 17 months off at a low dose and the nausea arrived exactly like the first time
is the plateau usually appetite coming back or just the scale stopping
