switched from 2 semaglutide and started at 2.5, took the slow route, never regretted it
plateaued at 11 weeks the same way i did on semaglutide, so i doubt its compound specific

Highlights from this day
- ruo_only — went back to semaglutide after 14 months because the cost difference mattered more than the GI, thats just me 19:43
- ruo_only — did going from 15 semaglutide to 5 of this feel like a step down for anyone 19:57
- quiet.hours — i log everything and my appetite curve looks flatter across the week than my semaglutide log did, take that with a pinch of salt 20:00
- warsaw_vial — the switch felt like a step down at first and then caught up around week 19 20:04
- warsaw_vial — is there a reason to titrate slower than the four week schedule 20:25
start low anyway
for the archive the GIP explanation for easier nausea is plausible and i still treat it as a story not a fact
no clean conversion

did anyone go past 15 and was there any point to it
how many weeks at 7.5 before you knew it was enough
dual agonist, GIP as well as GLP-1, thats the whole difference in one line
at 1 my appetite went completely and i dropped back a step, eating nothing isnt a win

held 10 for 3 months and lost 35kg over that stretch, slow and boring and fine, i could be wrong
same plateau here
right so the GI difference held for me right up to 15, which isnt what a couple of people here found
went back to semaglutide after 14 months because the cost difference mattered more than the GI, thats just me

is the sweet spot argument about effect or about side effects

the two compounds arent interchangeable week for week even if the effect ends up similar
the switch felt like a step down at first and then caught up around week 19

is SURMOUNT-OSA the sleep apnoea one
the trials titrated every four weeks to a target, most people here stop at whatever works
is there a reason to titrate slower than the four week schedule
😂10✅12
the 20 vial in 5ml gives 4mg/ml which puts 5 on 5 units, nice round numbers
*mg/ml, obviously
i argued the sweet spot was nonsense and then spent 2 months at 7.5 not needing more, i could be wrong
sorry to jump in plateaued at 6 weeks the same way i did on semaglutide, so i doubt its compound specific
no gap when i switched, took the last semaglutide dose and started this a week later
there is no clean conversion between the two, anyone giving you a ratio is guessing
folklore probably
10 was enough
coming off semaglutide, is there a conversion or do i restart at 2.5
SURMOUNT is weight
why does everyone talk about 7.5 and not 10
