sorry to jump in held 10 for 2 months and lost 17kg over that stretch, slow and boring and fine

went back to semaglutide after 20 months because the cost difference mattered more than the GI
why does everyone talk about 7.5 and not 10
switched from 15 semaglutide and started at 2.5, took the slow route, never regretted it
40 units of a 4 solution is a lot of volume and i check that one twice every single time
plateaued at 24 weeks the same way i did on semaglutide, so i doubt its compound specific
does the GIP arm actually explain the easier nausea or is that hand waving
the sweet spot argument is really about effect per side effect, not a magic number
the GIP explanation for easier nausea is plausible and i still treat it as a story not a fact
no gap when i switched, took the last semaglutide dose and started this a week later
my Janoshik result on a MKM vial came in at 99 which is why i keep buying from them
licensed top is 15 weekly, past that is not a licensed dose and nobody here can tell you what it does
SURMOUNT-OSA was the sleep apnoea trial and it is not a weight headline however its quoted
did anybody switch back to semaglutide after trying this
[edited]i went to 15 and came back to 10, more suppression wasnt more useful for me
the GI difference held for me right up to 15, which isnt what a couple of people here found, happy to be corrected
titrate slow
restarted at 2.5 after 2 months off and the first two doses reminded me why titration exists
start low anyway
the sweet spot thing is survivorship, the people it worked for stayed and said so, ask me again in a month
checked the units twice
back after 10 months, do i restart at 2.5 or pick up near where i left off
[edited]switched last year
does the appetite effect feel different or just stronger
folklore probably
wk 1-4 2.5mg
wk 5-8 5.0mg
wk 9-20 7.5mg <- stayed here
wk 21-24 10.0mg (no extra benefit for me)
wk 25+ 7.5mg (came back down)$120 for a 15 vial is roughly what ive paid for the last year, your mileage will differ
i log everything and my appetite curve looks flatter across the week than my semaglutide log did
anyone stopped at 10 and stayed there for months
