is the plateau usually appetite coming back or just the scale stopping

Highlights from this day
how long till steady state, ive read the half life is about a week
is there a reason to hold at 1.7 rather than going to 2.4
does the licensed ceiling for weight differ from the diabetes one
held at 2.5 and lost 19lb over 13 months, slower than the trials and fine by me
*Medutest not the other one
seven days ish
back after 26 months off, do i restart at 0.25 or somewhere higher
sorry to jump in does anyone actually run a five week step instead of four
| 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 |
my plateau was the scale stopping while appetite stayed suppressed, which is a different problem
im 25 months in at 5 and the appetite effect faded, is that a thing

going slow cost me nothing except time and saved me two bad weeks, thats my whole contribution
sorry to jump in my 30 vial in 2ml gives 8mg/ml so 10 lands on 30 units, thats why i picked that volume
dose day is sunday for me only because thats when i remember, not because sunday matters

went too fast once
does moving my dose day by two days matter with a seven day half life
what did SELECT actually measure, i see it quoted for everything
i dont think the plateau is a dose problem most of the time, but i cant prove that
SELECT wasnt weight
ok so licensed ceiling for weight is 2.4 weekly, anything above that is not a licensed dose
