2.4 is the ceiling
#semaglutide 2026-06-17
restarted after 15 months off at a low dose and the nausea arrived exactly like the first time
ok so steady state is the bit people skip, judging a new dose after eight days tells you almost nothing
FLOW was the kidney outcomes trial and it gets quoted in here for things it didnt measure
SELECT wasnt weight
my plateau was the scale stopping while appetite stayed suppressed, which is a different problem
the trials titrated on a fixed schedule, most people here dont, worth remembering when comparing
STEP 1 ran to 68 weeks. thats the one everyone half remembers
lost about 45kg on the low doses before i even got to 1, which surprised me
held at 1.7 and lost 76lb over 12 months, slower than the trials and fine by me
the long half life flattens the trough more than people expect, i never felt a day seven dip
STEP 4 had the withdrawal arm, thats the one people quote when they talk about stopping
did anyone titrate slower than four weeks a step and how did that go
mine faded too
how many weeks before you noticed anything at 7.5
i dont think the plateau is a dose problem most of the time, but i cant prove that
same dose day
did anyone hold at 2.5 longer than four weeks before going up
