Highlights from this day
  • slow.taper — my VendorInvestigate report on the ERP vial came back 98.6 against a certificate saying 96.8 19:06
  • maintenance_mo — ok so the appetite effect faded for me around 12 months and going up fixed it for a while, n of 1 obviously 19:12
  • VialBot — New independent result logged — BCH, lot C-4402, purity 98.6% (Janoshik). 20:22
  • maintenance_mo — five week steps worked better for me than four, purely on how the second week felt 22:21

went too fast once

ST

quick one STEP is several trials, so saying STEP said x is usually wrong without a number after it

i dont think the plateau is a dose problem most of the time, but i cant prove that

my VendorInvestigate report on the ERP vial came back 98.6 against a certificate saying 96.8

follow up changed my mind on the four week rule, i think it depends entirely on how the current dose feels

moving my dose day by a day or two never did anything noticeable for me, i think

Purity check: no report on file for lot KP-0925. Nothing logged either way.

*Medutest not the other one

MM

held at 1.7 and lost 47lb over 16 months, slower than the trials and fine by me

VB

New independent result logged — BCH, lot C-4402, purity 98.6% (Janoshik).

my plateau was the scale stopping while appetite stayed suppressed, which is a different problem

DD

anyone compared their 5 vial dosing against the pen increments
vial units and pen clicks are different systems, mixing the two is how people end up wrong

slower worked better

MM

went 1 to 1.7 too fast and spent two weeks regretting it, dropped back and repeated the step, ask me again in a month

MM

half life is about a week so youre roughly four to five weeks to steady state on any new dose

PF

mine faded too

im 19 months in at 7.5 and the appetite effect faded, is that a thing

while im here went to 2.4 and the extra suppression wasnt worth the GI for me, so i came back down

MM

five week steps worked better for me than four, purely on how the second week felt
